Ten years for 5 classes?! Wtf..

2 per year, seems fair.

Barbarians and math, does not work well together..

 

[JonG]

I'm buying this but there better be barbarians in the next game.

I haven't forgotten my promise!

"Dual persona" means we have different stats/skills for each?

 

[AfterVirtue]

Which are the inspirations for it?: Years of reading authors like Jack Vance, Fritz Lieber, J.R. Tolkien, Rodger Zelazny, Piers Anthony, Robert E Howard the list goes on and on

And a GOG release is planned?

WE are looking into a release on GOG but for now only on Steam. By the way I forgot to add Michael Moorcock to mu list of inspirations, a huge oversight on my part as he is one of my favorites.

JonG what's expected playtime looking like here? how much content? this is a pretty hefty game by the looks of it

 

[cyborgboy95]

Bought! Even if I won't be able to play right away or anytime soon due to being in a middle of a Baldur's Gate 2 playthough right now, I promise not to refund within 14 days if the game get decent reviews.

There are roughly 40 hours of game play in standard mode alone if you venture into Strategic and expert modes after much longer. A fair amount of content. Our extensive morphing toke a hefty toll.

Thanks

 

[sebas]

Bought, gonna roll with it later. Goodluck with the launch!

So far so good. A lot of text but it is well written. Music is nice. Cant say too much about combat just yet but its no walk in the park. My Paladin got killed by a measly goblin as soon as I got distracted. Brings back BG1 memories. Not a fan of lockpicking and runestones mini games though.
