Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I can see my feet.

Huh, that fire golfball is pretty weak, but then the ice and trap is super strong.

Archery has a lot going for it, what with being able to light the arrow on fire turning it into instant death for everything in the demo.

Swording is simple and stabby. Wish I could have had a staff. Oh well, I can kick goblins off a cliff.

1.4 gig download and it wouldn't even let me fight the Ogre? Damnit, I brought my +9 Vs.Ogres Knife for nothing!

I wonder how long it will take for the character models to be ported to Garry's Mod.

Even at low settings, the game looks pretty good. Also loads maps in about eight seconds.

Hell, it must have taken seven minutes to get back to desktop once I closed it.

Yeah, the game definetly felt more immersive than Elder Scrolls IV. You actually feel like your character has weight. And the combat is simply awesome! Power strikes, parrying, head lopping, back stabbing, trap springing oh joy! I too was disappointed in how short the demo was. That ogre was gonna get a spankin'!

The graphics felt a little blurry to me, but in a way that still made the game look good. I didn't care for the voice acting of Sareth or his Master, although the voices for the orcs and goblins were good.

So now all I need to try is multiplayer before I decide if it's a worthy purchase or not.

Some guy posted a bunch of commands to alter the demo. You can spawn enemies, items and create additional skill points.

wow i like this game a lot and agree with what Merc says about feeling the weight of the character. Makes gameplay a lot more lifelike.

Unlike Den though i like the fire ball, i mean, yes it is crappy for actually killing people, but the fact you can direct it makes it great for burning ropes, or setting fire to the barrel that orc is standing next to and then laugh from afar as he flails around in flames.

I like the stealth a lot to, as the dagger to the back is 1 hit kill and it is often easy to get behind individuals. It is kinda weak when trying to get in amounst a group though, as not being seen is a pain in the ass

Good post though, will deffinately try and beta this one
