While it seems that dialogue won't make a big part of the game, polishing the animations would be nice. Then again, it's a pre-alpha, too soon to really make any kind of assessment.

Thanks, Nathaniel & C2B.

Honestly? It's damn nice to see the voice of reason in the jrpg/wrpg debate.

Wow. The dealspwn preview was BAD.

 

EDIT : At least it looks like they've found a 'Find game' option on the title screen. Still, they didn't even know the platform on which the game was played on.. bad is bad.

"The demonstration we were shown used the Xbox 360, showcasing the Guardian class, one of six unique playable classes that will all have different styles, different moves and abilities and slightly different stories. Sounds a bit like a certain BioWare RPG involving origin stories and dragons? "

 

Seriously wtf? Dragon Age invented unique classes? :D

[WorstUsernameEver]

Yeah Flouride. Dungeons & Dragons was an elaborate lie by the NEW WORLD ORDER.

[Oner]

That's it. Start worshiping me so I can obliterate all these morons with my godlike awesomeness. NOW!

(Oh yeah, I want to be the god of not-being-retarded, so formulate your prayers accordingly. Thanks in advance.)

They are complaining about the inventory ui, stating it's the most complicated thing they have seen for years, especially for a PC interface.

Obsidian getting UI wrong? I would never have guessed!

[C2B]

Which leads to the question. Will there be a different UI for Mouse control?

Interesting because you thought the interface was simple, because you've never heard the complaint before or..?

 

Honestly, sorry to sound discouraging, but considering Obsidian's track record with UIs, it wouldn't surprise me.

I would be glad to proven wrong, though.

[Flouride]

The only UI that has ever been complicated/confusing/illogical was in Football Manager / Championship Manager series back in the day. Clearly someone oughta show WUE and these germans how complicated UI can actually be

[KO771]

4players is mostly complaining about the scrollbars in the inventory and the other UIs.

[Flouride]

Oh btw... returning to that crappy preview: Is that 6 unique classes accurate or did they pull that number from their *****? Nathaniel? Alvin?

I'm pretty sure that they won't neither confirm or deny it since they've been tight-lipped about it even with the press.

Which would point to the 'pulled out of their ***es' route, yeah.

... Amazing.

[WorstUsernameEver]

Honestly, without looking at the UI it's difficult to tell if those complaints are deserved or not. Hopefully we'll get some in-game footage soon-ish.

Who the hell thought that organizing an interview with Chris Taylor about Dungeon Siege III was a good idea? I mean yeah, he reviews builds, but he's still not directly involved.

Why should he review builds? Square-Enix doesn't owe anything to Chris Taylor.

It's his series. And it's nice to see that SE does that in my opinion.
