Well, I like it! In fact I think it is one of the most detailed, realtime RPG's ever. I congratulate the programmers on a very tough task, very well done. The concept may be new to people that just need to be an extremely high level, killing everything, and ending the game, only to buy another useless $40+ title. I have been developing a game for 6 months now and now I must change my entire strategy, as far as the engine goes. Yes there could be improvements, that's why they give you the construction set, if you don't like something, change it. I Love It. I have just purchased the game about three days ago, and I haven't gotten anything done since then around the house, but I have been born into a new world as Ceren, a female Breton, seems to have some identity crisis right now, because I didn't ask any boards or cheat or anything else. I installed and started. I can't stop. It's just not possible now. I am drawn in, I am using some of my personality and qualities in my character, and then I play the role of the character, I think, hmmm.... Ceren what do I do now? And I am thinking you must have been playing long and hard, because I am just a 4th level character. And that was 3 days hard play. I dont use fortification potions until someone is dead, I use my mind, scout, prepare, gather, "borrow", and study, then I make several plans, I make escape routes, emergency exits, etc... It's quite hard work. Sure you point and click, but that remark is strange, since ALL PC GAMES are point and click. I am Ceren a Mage, born under the sign of the Mage, but I can't just click and zap a creature into oblivion, I must know my opponent, what if he's a mage? What if there are other dangers nearby? I tried to kill a rat with a dagger and almost died! I can hear you laughing from here, but my guildmaster told me to practice, so I did, and now I use my dagger and with a few flicks a rat is dead, but that's just not true of a cliffracer, or several other beasts. I have exlpored some of the towns and outer areas, and have found that things are constantly changing. My only thing is I want a house! I am homless, somtimes I must rest off the paths in the areas way outside of town. I also found, if you use the common sense and trade skills of the character, then brute force is not the answer to every problem. I tried brute force and died many times. But now I haven't died in a while. I have been very close. You just have to be in the game, you can't just play it. Sorry this was so wordy, but your posts inspired me.
