Slurktan Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 To me, it looks like KoTR when walking around and BG2 when in a fight. In other words... awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niiiice. Oh, but is that female wearing a halter top? :o Good grief, first spear thrust to the abdomen and she ought to be dead. I've noticed that often enough in the screenshots one or more characters appear to be dead...I wonder if that's somehow rather unavoidable in the game?

oar Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Ah, i'm quite relieved, it looks pretty good :) I just hope the storyline holds up to the books inspiring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that I hope it's possible for characters to permadie on harder difficulties and have more party members to choose from than having like 4 that revive right after battle.

At least, you could in BG2. I think as long as I can do that with the custom, all will be groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with perma-death is that it would actually cause me to reload any fight in which a character I like dies. Not my idea of fun. That's assuming they'll be actual characters, not just guys you take along for the fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The construct does so if your influence with Grobnar is too low and Neeshka can also fail to come around because of low influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't actually see this happening, though. It just shows up in the basement of Crossroad Keep (if you picked the right dialogue option) and Grobnar will have the option to upgrade it later.

Shryke Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 This podcast/interview is all I got left: [url="http://bioware.vo.llnwd.net/o1/dragonage/audio/dragonage_01_e32008.mp3"]http://bioware.vo.llnwd.net/o1/dragonage/a...e_01_e32008.mp3[/url] * There are dragons, but don't expect them right now. * What it being a spiritual successor means. * "Pause and play" gameplay, not quite turn based. * No MP, focusing on SP, "origin stories." * Large and epic. * They are fans of LOTOR. * "Just the beginning" of the Dragon Age universe. In completely unrelated news, here's the new Prince of Persia game.
