So far I found out the name can't really be chosen, only generated but at least it's normal now. I contemplated playing a mage or something but in the end I chose warrior. At least you can have some customization is this one so I made her good-looking.
First impressions: I quite appreciate the shortcut system. It may be unrealistic, but very time-saving) I like how you put way your weapons and shield when you don't use them, it was weird to run around town swinging your sword at people. Also the graphics are a bit better, especially people close-ups. Makes them even more realistic. All in all, I like it))
