The premise is what sucked me in as well -- that, and the level of customization available. In many ways it reminded me of Fable 2, which I also loved, but it was more serious where Fable 2 was sometimes a little over the top in its goofiness. Take a look at what I told Emmy in her reply above -- pretty much sums up all of what I loved about this game. I'm already planning to play it again, considering different paths to take, and different decisions, and basically -- aside from the boss battles -- have a totally different experience with the next go-round than with this one.
