Been awhile since I logged in! To answer some of these questions - hopfrog16 - pick one of the characters starwars - 3 sannom - up to marketing but I heard it is soon! Hope everyone is doing well! Thanks for the continued interest and support on DSIII! SED

That video is really dark. Guess we didn't adjust gamma. The Gamespot co-op videos (posted today) are better but the camera is still a tad far out for spectators. Much clearer when playing in person, which you can do at Pax East if you are going there. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/dungeonsieg...ult%3Btitle%3B0 SED

Hi! Been super duper busy so apologies for being absent. WUN asked if I could drop in and validate some of these claims. I can try but some have simply not been revealed or decided upon yet. - Mouse and keyboard controls haven't been calibrated to the point where Obsidian/Square Enix are willing to let outsiders play on them - That's accurate. The guys at Obsidian and SE want the game to play and feel great on the PC. - Game is still at pre-alpha - Not accurate but the build they saw / played may have been. - The King's daughter (Jeyne Kassyndar blamed the 10th Legion for the fall of King - No comment on storyline yet. - The King did fall at a time of warring factions - The Legion was hunted down by Kassyndor's forces - According to PC Gamer, there are no classes - Kind of true we have Heroes - There is no class selection screen - This sentence is not complete.... Hmmm. - Lucas Montbarren can distribute his skill points into three stances (One-handed, two-handed weapons and healing defensive stance) - No comment - You can select three powers for Lucas at early levels, with six more powers opening at higher levels - No comment - According to PC Gamer, DSIII does not have the strategic depth or character development of Diablo - Based on what they played I'd agree but they didn't play the entire game. - Loot is only gently randomized - 'gently' randomized? What does that mean? - Each stance has its own set of three special attacks - No comment - Nine skills, each of them has two branches - No comment - You get an extra bonus for maxing out a particular talent - No comment - There are combos (automatic animations) that trigger on the third attack - Lots of combos. - The game is a little more forgiving with the mouse aim - This is an opinion and should be taken that way. - No one to nine hockey system. Hockey? - Character relationship won't be as complicated as in Dragon Age - Is that a good or bad thing? Based on what they played I don't see how they can make this claim. - You can not upset the NPC enough to leave your party - no comment - You can define your character as forgiving, vengeful, loyal or practical and party members will react to that - More than party members will react to that .... - No classes, but different heroes (Most fantasy archetypes will be represented) - sounds about right - "The levellin-up screen isn't as daunting - or as compelling - as a big, lovely skill tree." - Another opinion... Hope this is what you were looking for. We are gearing up for another press tour so expect more soon! Thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy the title when it's released! SquareEnixDave

I'm not sure there is a 'good' answer. A good answer would be in the eye of the beholder. As for 'the' answer, I would suggest you choose wisely as the talents / abilities alter game play. - SED

Hi Everyone! I wanted to pop in and give a big thank you to all the supporters of DSIII with Obsidian! It's an exciting project and I sincerely hope you are going to enjoy it upon release. I'll do what I can to respond timely to any post that may be directed toward me but please bear with me as my response time is at a snails pace these days. Best, SED Square Enix Dave
