You might not be Johnny Depp, but you can become a 17th-century swashbuckling pirate just the same. Every friend you make and hand you shake builds your reputation and alliances. Fight hand-to-hand combat and with arms on the high seas. Through skill and daring, you will have the ability to obtain more power than the toughest captains in history ever dreamed possible. Bethesda retained the superior gameplay engine initially slated for Sea Dogs II for this game.
