Looks great. Is it like Oblivion/Morrowind where you can just jump in without any knowledge of past games or some kind of storyline?

It doesn't appear things scale with you at all. When I first started exploring the Savannah, Cheetahs would tear me a new asshole. Now that I have upgraded my bow a lot, my arrows, and have gotten more skill in things, I one-shot them from 50' away muahahahaha. Warthogs take two shots. Ostriches go down in one. So do poo-flinging baboons.
Still, it's awesome because I'll wander into a random cave and a Giant Scorpion (omfg these things are hideous and not like a normal scorpion at all) will rape me, repeatedly, then rape my corpse.
Oblivion-style monster leveling this ain't!
I simply can't get enough of sneaking up on Varns and assassinating them. Especially the ones who look like they're standing behind trees or boulders taking a piss.

The xbox version looks very decent. And apparently it wasn't even the final build.

It's a shame this isn't coming out in the UK until next year as it looks great and I'd love a good single player Fantasy RPG right now. The reception it's getting is also pretty amazing when you consider how awful the first game was.
Wow the magic system with the card is very deep !
I create a spell to convert damage on mana... I have 1100 mana so now it's like 1100 hp. ^^
I have another to return 100% damage of every attack on monster, very powerful spell.
I think I begin to understand the multi-class you buff your character as a mage then you switch to a warrior. Battlemage incoming.

So using that German-Proxy, I'm accessing the UK site and using my USA Gamersgate login and CC to buy the game.
It should be added to my games and I'll be able to download it correct? I'm at the checkout screen with £29.95.
I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger on this game. This is PERFECT for my new 6870 until GT5 and WoW come out ... I was really hoping to have an awesome RPG.
So I should be good right?
Can I remote into my home PC (at work right now) and start the DL on a USA based IP?

This is available in NZ now, I downloaded it from GamersGate, and as I said in the previous thread, it's a really stunning game and the performance is excellent. Although the characters and story are a little plain so far, it has a great feel to it. You just want to play more!

GG sends you an email with the link in it so you should be fine.
edit: This isn't really a spoiler since it happens like right from the start of the game, but who else lol'ed when you escape and they tell the emperor? That had to be the most powerful and angry "WHAT!" I have ever heard.

Sorry, I haven't been to that yet
I just found the Mage Guild with it's job board and have been working on all the side quests. Not to mention looting bare any house I come across. I don't think this has been mentioned, but one cool thing is that you gain extra skill points from time to time for performing actions, like crafting weapons/armor or lockpicking, etc. I thought that was pretty nice.
One thing I can't figure out, and I'm sure it's in the manual but I haven't looked, on necklaces/rings, what is the yellow "star" rating for? I haven't really seen a use for rings or necklaces yet, other than I found a stone that I could only socket into a ring which gave the effect of "lighten your load by 10".

After playing a little more of this last night, thought I would post a few more impressions.
I'm still very early on in the game (just arrived at the first real town/open world bit), but here are my thoughts so far..
Pros
- Fantastic graphics (duh) but what really amazes me is how well this game runs. I have a reasonably modest gaming pc with a single gtx 260 and i'm getting 100+ FPS indoors, and outdoors it has never dipped below 60. I don't know what sort of witchcraft was used to optimize this game but it is incredible.
- controller support is fantastic
- magic/spell system is deep yet reasonably simple to grasp
- combat feels good, especially with the controller.
- my god, the foliage
- the baboons throw poop at you
Cons
- voice acting is a bit all over the place, some is good/ok and some is terrible. Though it should be noted that I am coming straight from Fable III and New Vegas which had fantastic VO in my opinion, so it is probably still better than most RPGS out there.
- UI is not fantastic on PC, inventory in particular is way too big on the screen in my opinion. I think I read somewhere that they are releasing modding tools so I'm sure this can be fixed easily.
Overall I'm having heaps of fun and the game continues to surprise me with its polish. Going to finish up Fallout New Vegas tonight and then really get stuck into it.

a few questions:
- Does the game have a morality system?
- Is there a decent 3rd person view?
- Can you get bad ass looking armor in the game?
- Are there a lot of non-combat options? (talking your way out of things, sneaking around, etc)

- You have a lot of choices and decisions to make, but there is no gauge.
- It's only 3rd person and the camera is fantastic.
- Sure.
- Yes.

Sorry about the dumb 3rd person question... I thought this was a first person game for some reason.
As for the morality... so basically there are decisions to be made that effect the story but there is no morality bar or anything?

Ye I sold a lot of stuff to make money so I bought a lot of card at the mage guild.
I saved the game and bought different card to test the best combo.
Lol I think I broke the game mana shield buff + eye for eye buff = I leave my character idle and the monster kill himself ! xD
So, no one is having Vsync issues with this game?
It's driving me absolutely crazy. If I have no Vsync options on whatsoever, it tears all over the screen. If I enable both triple buffering and vsync in D3DOverride, I get a single tear in the lower middle of my screen constantly. So it's doing -something-, but it's not correcting my screen tear.

That rope necklace or torc or whatever it is around his neck looks tight, every time I see it I think the main character has got to be having trouble breathing.

Sweet, I used the German Proxy, went to the UK site, used my US Credit Card, remoted in from work and started the download from the US GG site.
I know it's all fairly simple but I felt like I was doing Mission Impossible shit to get this game :lol

Check out the detail on the stitching one the gloves and such of the new outfit I found. The graphic detail coupled with how fast it runs is just mind-blowing:

Fuck it, I'm ordering. Do you get the first version with no language specification from GamersGate or do you have to get the German one with the German proxy?
