C2B Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 This is either going to be a very enjoyable game or one of the worst.
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 IGN preview Still definitely not interested but I figure someone might be.
Monte Carlo Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Wasn't this game open world? The levels shown in that video suffer from chronic tunnelitis. Like that's a bad thing?
Wombat Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Gametrailers is quite good for searching video archives for E3 coverage for games of my interest. The art-style is not my cup of tea at all but I wonder how they tie exploration/NPC dialogues with their lore, which seem to be quite massive.
HoonDing Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I'm still not sure about this game. It looks like an offline free-to-play MMO. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Looks like WoW compounded with Oblivion. Rain makes everything better.
sorophx Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 they have an interesting character progression system though Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Wrath of Dagon Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Anytime the developer says they highlight the choices to skip through the dialog as quickly as possible so you can get to the killing, I know the game isn't for me.

TheHarlequin Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 For those interested I was in the demo during PAX East. Got several mins of in-game footage and notes on the presentation. Under the Articles -> Blog section.

Wombat Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks. You mean this part? I think mostly flashy parts were shown in the videos but I believe there are something for more hardcore audiences as the list goes. * ~2 million randomly created loot items per game * Several hundred hand written loot items * Diablo style inventory * Crafting system with item slots to add magic inserts (Like in Dragon Age) * Every class knows magic to some degree * Certain skills open destinies (somewhat like Fallout perks) * Can take skills of various classes to create multi-class character * 10,000 yr world history written by R.A. Salvatore of the D&D dark elf book series and others * Swimming and diving underwater in certain spots is in * RP moral choices in game however no fixed moral stat. NPC's will react to previous choices made * No MP due to their MMO using same setting (but different time period +2000 yrs) in development. That said, I'm yet another who is simply keeping an eye on it, which shouldn't hurt much.
TheHarlequin Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 You do know if I wanted to copy/paste the info here I would have.

Wombat Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Yea, that would have been helpful since, honestly, I needed to browse a bit.
Wombat Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 http://www.egmnow.com/egmi/issue/251-2.html I wonder if it will be successful but the system design seems to be done with very game-master-ish thought in mind. Double post...
Morgoth Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Oh, this game again... Rain makes everything better.
Wombat Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Considering the indifference in this board, probably I'd better leave it to news sites. It has got some interesting design decisions although I don't like the art direction somehow. This time around, it's about character development system, which allows the players to mix up different abilities to build their own game-play of their liking. It's not learn-by-dong but seems to share the concept of allowing the players to chose their play styles.
Gorth Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I clicked the link and then made the mistake of allowing scripts temporarily. Zoing!... my browser was oddly shaped, looking at a &^%%$$ Flash site. Hate the game already. If not because of the game, then because of their PR people “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Wombat Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) No, actually, it's an online magazine with a built-in reader. I use Firefox with no script, myself. If you are suspicious, feel free to use sandbox program of your liking. PS Oh, I see. Generally grumpy forum users felt the PR too much. Well, I don't know. I also felt the marketing of the Witcher bit too much but I have no objection to marketing as long as they come up with the quality of the products/services. I guess I'm minority who are interested in how Rolston's story-telling in the open world would turn out and I'm quite a sucker to the detailed world with full of lore since the time of Traveler and Rune Quest (in fact, Rolston worked for some of the supplements at that time).

Labadal Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I think I will pick this one up after reading some impressions. Not entirely sure about the game yet.
Wombat Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I have been wondering how Rolston really think about the modern standards of the gaming and this is, I think, relatively true to himself comments. I still like reading how they are building the game-play mechanics/game world but it doesn't even remotely appear that he came back with some idea for the content area once bitterly leaving the game industry.
