Here's another game which I vaguely remember. I hope one of you guys will know its name.
Ok, so this game is a PC 1st-person 3D game in a medieval/fantasy setting (or something like that), and I remember my older brother playing it. I'm fairly sure its release is between 2000 and 2007, but my memory fails me oftentimes and the game could happen to fall outside that range (probably below 2000).
Here's a list of things I remember:
-When you start the game, you disembark from a ship/boat on a fairly small dock, with a house on the other side and an elderly man waiting for you on the dock. He tells you something, and then you have to follow him into the house.
-There's a part of the game where you're in front of what looks like a "goddess" statue holding a ring, looking like she's gladly giving it to you. Taking the ring triggers a cutscene, and as soon as the cutscene ends, it cuts back to you looking at the goddess' palms, with the ring gone (having just been taken).
-You can use magic spells... or whatever they're called. I can think of at least two, where one allows you to fly (sort of) and the other allows you to breathe underwater. These are displayed as little icons in the HUD when in use (I think the "flying spell" is an upwards-curving arrow in a green box), and they fade away as they wear off.
-There's this huge ass insect/tick/whatever with long legs, which you can climb on top of. There may or may not be a guy on top of it, but by using the giant thing that looks like an insect/tick, you can go someplace else. At least one of these places, if my memory serves correctly, is a little reminiscent of
desert towns.
-You can climb rocks, hills and mountains, I think. And you can jump off them and kill yourself if the ground is too far away.
-One might be able to switch to 3rd person perspective, but I'm not sure. I think yes.
-I remember a very particular enemy from the game. It's a human-sized (maybe) pterodactyl-like creature with a long spaded tail . It would come close and fly above you and repeatedly stab you with its tail until you die.
-I'm fairly certain the player character had a sword.
-If I'm correct, there's also a castle or something in the fields. All I remember is that my brother tried to flee from a monster and took shelter between at least 4 brick walls with soldiers or whatever are they called in the Middle Ages, and then they proceeded to attack him and kill him.
