BlakJak Birkin · 01-21-2003, 11:44 AM

Does anyone know when Lionheart is released in the UK? All I know is it comes out in quarter 1, this year.

I wonder if it will get its own forum on Ironworks?

Is it a console game?

Micah Foehammer · 01-21-2003, 01:55 PM

No. It's a CRPG utilizing the SPECIAL system from Fallout, and set in Medieval Europe post Crusades. Interesting premise for a game. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Here is the link to the Interplay Lionheart forum:

http://forums.interplay.com/viewforum.php?f=26

here's a quick excerpt about the game:

It is 1588 A.D., a critical year of an alternate history hauntingly familiar yet fantastically alien to our own. Because of one fateful event during the Third Crusade, the history of this world diverged. This event, the Disjunction, ripped open a long-sealed breach to other worlds. Magic energy and powerful spirits flowed into the world, changing the lands and the people forever. For those who could comprehend the nature of these new forces, the introduction of magic brought great power. To the common folk, magic was something to be feared and undoubtedly the handiwork of evil demons. People across Europe sought protection from the forces of evil and therefore relinquished utter control of their lives to the Inquisition. To this day, the Inquisition still governs most of civilized Europe, directly or indirectly. In their relentless hunt for heretical wizards and magical creatures the Inquisition inspires awe and faith among many, and is despised and feared by others. This widespread disparity, continued suspicion of wizards and witches and all things magical, and the constant threat from all manner of beasts cast a shadow over civilization, stunting the Renaissance and keeping the people in an enduring Dark Age.

Cast into this world, you are a character of your own devices, strengths, and abilities. Set upon by human factions and powerful spirits, you must decide how to best develop your skills in order to triumph over obstacles that lie between you and your true fate.

and another about the game system:

Q: What kind of game is Lionheart?
A:Lionheart is a computer role playing game for the PC. In Lionheart you will create a single character and play through a story. During the course of the story your character will gain experience and power. Your character will meet many other people and creatures who will have information, quests, or who just want to fight you. It's possible that some of the other characters in the world will join with you in your adventures. Depending on the choices you make for your character, you will decide what he or she gets better at and how your character can best overcome the obstacles presented in the world.

Q: What is the SPECIAL system?
A: SPECIAL is the name of the character development system that first appeared in Fallout and later Fallout 2. It is a classless system which uses statistics, skills, perks, and traits to define the strengths and weaknesses of a character. Just in case you were wondering, SPECIAL is an acronym for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. Coincidentally, these are the primary statistics for characters.

This is what Chud answered me (concerning release date):

[BISWolf] We are expecting Lionheart to be released late first quarter or early second quarter.

Funny.

Micah Foehammer · 01-22-2003, 01:24 PM

I had heard a March 2003 release date, so those dates match fairly well.

From the tone of the discussion on the Interplay Lionheart forums, it sounds like they might actually make this date. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
