Too difficult, too intense, and way, way too realistic. Had a way of sucking you in though.

Join the Mages Guild, read some books, kill an army.
lol.
The music was also somewhat better than average for this sort of thing, although it sorta got a little disturbing after awhile, as well.
.....
You know, it's a little annoying, having perspective, on this sort of thing.... it's all so similar.... "World Domination 1936-1953" looks better on the box, than.... "' ' ' ' ....1947", but you never even got up *that* far, and....
And so on.
The music is also a little disturbing, I mean.... that's the thing, if you compare it to the *real world*....
(Or *anything*, other than a game.... even a bloody 80s movie!..... as opposed to Dungeons & Dragons!)
I just end up wondering why I spent all that time, pretending like I was gonna invent a new RPG, (math fail/endless dandy nonsense), or HOI scenario (programming fail)..... like, why.... I never made *any* progress, at all, at all....
You know what I kinda like, Hearts. You know, like whist.
You know, what's weird, if "Civilization" (for me-- III, IV, basically), was as good as it was supposed to be, I never would have gotten hooked by "Paradox", (HOI II, EUIII).... you know?
East just shot the moon-- fuck you, East. I should have been fucking paying attention....
That's the thing about perspective that bites, you can think about it, you can get CivIII vs. CivIV, or.... I don't know. But if you get sucked in....
You suck!
Like, CivIII was the best thing at that type.... but it wasn't actually that.... *good*.
And this was, like.... worse.
You know what I think is funny, when people tell you what you *may not* do in solitaire....
(Although what was always irritating, was if somebody asked you about your stupid hobby, like, brought you to a game store, right, and just sorta let you talk-- this and this, that and that.... and then casually said something after about an hour to the effect that they'd never been listening and never cared.)
(Although, then again, half of the time that was Sheldon Cooper himself....)
.... I don't know, your technical judgments don't really change.... CivIII (equals) CivIV, Morrowind (more than) Jade Empire..... but once you go.... 40 Thieves (more than) Civilization, or even, Myst IV Revelation (more than) Morrowind.... (and not just *almost*, or something, but *alot*, I was always *almost* a Myst fan....), then technical comments, like Morrowind = Oblivion, Morrowind (more than) I can't remember anymore, Super Mutants, then, all of a sudden, technical comments no longer play much role in ordering things, so that things.... are not the same, as before.
And then the relationships sorta do change, if the degrees of difference are put in a whole different perspective. I mean, Morrowind (more than) Sid Meier's Pirates!.... unless, eh, Morrowind was never really that good.... It's, *about as good* as 'Pirates!' *actually was*.....
"Eh, they'll let anyone have a blog these days."
And that's what sucks about perspective, because, in a way, you were right before.... *in a way*....
Although sometimes you were wrong.
Because if you get sucked in....
You suck!
Super Mutant Nazi Division "Berlin".
Whoops.
{1953: The Year That Stalin Died....
*playing KOTOR* Hey, look at all this great loot that I got from killing Stalin-- now I'm ready for Part Two!!!
Yeah.... I am so not a nazi.... anymore.
.... Now I'm going to play as Ireland and go to war with Britain!}
