LadyCrimson Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) Not really news, but also not playing ... but see, I went to Steam site, saw "New and trending" listing, and did a time-travel feeling double-take. They are the originals (essentially same as GoG's dosboxed I think), no remake/remaster etc. It does makes me idly wonder if EA is considering a PC sequel or remaster for the series (that mobile game doesn't exit, don't even mention it ), with putting it on Steam as an interest meter check (GoG has had it for ages, I see no reason to rebuy it yet again). Frankly I'm not sure I'd want EA to do so, I'm sure it would be horrid. Nice of them to put it the two originals for those that really want to stick with Steam I guess, tho.

In the early days of their launcher, Origin, they kept releasing old games for free on it now and then. So I guess this is just a continuity of that.

Keyrock Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18HF6jWRIBM Holy smokes, if this winds up being anywhere near as good as it looks... I mean, they kinda cheated by having Ian McShane voice the trailer, he's automatically going to make whatever is happening on screen seem better. Still, the combat looks freakin' awesome.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I'm hyped but I wish they'd let us see more classes. I got the feeling Ranger is gonna be the advanced for the archer, but I'm interested in what they do for the thief's advanced vocation. Also Trickster and Warfarer don't follow the standard color mapping of hybrid vocations (they don't use two of the base colors bisected like the mystic spearhand or magic archer) so maybe there's more of them than the six hybrids we'd normally expect. 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "YouĀ are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfullyĀ it seems like the creatorsĀ like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don'tĀ forgetĀ the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "AreĀ you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feralĀ camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands
Keyrock Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Right now I'm leaning toward starting as a thief with either a fighter or a mage as my main pawn. As far as advanced vocations go, I'll cross that bridge once I start unlocking them. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

I was thinking mostly the same, but I got a bias towards gishes so maybe I'll go for Spearhand or whatever the Thief/Mage is. The Trickster looks interesting but also not really my thing.

Keyrock Posted March 15 Posted March 15 @PK htiw klaw eriFHave you messed around with the free character creator? It's really good.

The end-game and the DLC island are similar, with the latter being unintentionally funny, story-wise.
