There is however, a core quest, centering on rescuing the protagonist's sister, who is being held for ransom by mysterious forces who are scheming to open the tomb of Aziraal, the god of fire. The player is free to explore the game world, accepting side quests at will.

Much like in Oblivion and Gothic 3, the gameplay is non-linear. As such it has drawn comparison with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

The game takes place in a real-time three-dimensional fantasy landscape.
