I like. I also started with the early Ultima games, and I share many of the producer's feelings on the matter of CRPGs. I'm also glad to see the MO crossed out of MMORPG. Singleplayer's where it's at for me.

 

Looks like this game is still a ways off, as usual, so I'll wait and see as well. Be worth reading a review or two after release to see how first impressions go.

Hmm, I wonder what "OMG Reduction" and "Max OMG" are supposed to represent. Maybe crit avoidance and crit extra damage?

 

EDIT: *sigh* I just realized those are DMG, not OMG. Everything that strats with a capital "D" looks like a capital "O".

That's a weird font with the capital D looking rather like a capital stylized O.

 

Our characters get Oexterity instead of Dexterity, and one can contract a Oisease instead of a Disease. I wonder what other points of humor are in the game's text due to this font.

 

OMG Reduction = the factor by which a character's response to surprise attacks is subdued.

Looks like your standard indie 'ye-olde-times' RPG. Might be fun, but probably mediocre. We shall see.
