Speedo SimHQ Member Registered: 02/15/01 Posts: 4552 Loc: NC USA	First impressions... very cool. I got about 3 hrs playtime in total, got through the intro for my character (dwarf noble) and just into the first battle of the main plot. Very fun, really enjoying the plot so far. They've apparently done some incredible optimization on the graphics, I'm running at high settings @ 1600x1200 and haven't noticed a hint of slowdown performance wise so far.

Bongokid SimHQ Member Registered: 02/21/05 Posts: 104 Loc: Canada	a few hours into the story too. Fantastic impression so far. The combat is particulary great : you can choose to micro-manage your team entirely or can define elaborate tactics for each member (for instance if a team member health down to 10% then use health spell on him, or if >1 enemy close, use area effect combat move). It feels a bit like an extra-polished version of Drakensang, another very nice RPG coming from Germany. This promises to be a great time-sink. Cheers Bongokid

vault_dweller Wasteland Wanderer SimHQ Member Registered: 02/21/01 Posts: 1390 Loc: Cafe of Broken Dreams	The blood is a bit much, and this roleplay system is going to take some getting used to. Other than those two minor issues, this game is pretty damn cool. Gotta rush home and get some more time in with this one. _________________________ War, war never changes.

kramer SimHQ Member Registered: 04/02/02 Posts: 2673 Loc: Ohio,USA.	on the Game Tab of the Options menu you can disable the blood splatter effect by un-checking the box next to Enable Persistent Gore. Quote: Determines whether battle covers a character in blood and gore that remains in place until the next change of armor or clothing. Blood effects during combat remain enabled either way.
