What are you doing right now?

You're so articulate, Steven.

Okay, so I only played it for half an hour, but I'm not liking it so far. I can't rotate the camera full around and I hate that it's full of quests and challenges. You lose that free feeling, that creative sandbox you have with TS3. I don't think it's for me, but I'll play it longer this weekend and consider a little more how I feel about it. The Sims look weird though.
I think the premise of the game is interesting and has potential, it's just that I keep comparing it to TS3 and not seeing it as intended - an individual game. If you're looking for a different spin on the original Sims series, I don't think it's right for you. But if you're prepared to see it as an individual game, and you enjoy challenges and the theme of medieval then obviously it's right up your street.
