never do I own a game before that require steam . to play the game you have to log into Steam to launch . so why do I buy a dvd and get force to use steam ? shortly after join Steam so I could play since I already open the package and could not return it now I get a notice from Steam that they have be hack and may have lose customer information . that really give I the warm and fuzzy . as far as the game it actually load on Windows 7 x64 unlike Fallout 3 that work fine on Vista but would not load when I upgrade . the mouse movement and graphic seem really jerky . I try to use a XBOX 360 wireless controller only to find out I need a $ 20 adapter . so i try a pc joystick and I do not seem to do anything ... as far as gameplay , it have not manage to keep I envolve . I keep walk away and come back later . I have just find my way to the keep after have to repeat the open many time . at the moment I have to call it disappointing hopefully I 'll make it thru all the intial b and learn to like the game ... just may take a while ...
