Got it installed last night on my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop running at 1920x1080 at Highest detail setting.  Will test AA tonight.  I'm quite surprised it runs great on my lappie, considering the GPU is just an ATI 4570.

Definitely old school RPG.  I like the various camera views, including Diablo view.  Lack of translucent clipping view sucks though.

Playing a Magi at first run, but I'm thinking this will be more of a Templar based storyline.

Ok, I've only played about 25 minutes of this... and I'm already in love.

To explain:

The story just gets you involved right from the beginning. It's both fast paced and interesting, whilst always having little subplots.

Graphics are sweet, not fantastic, but detailed enough to make you go "ooooh" at points.

Character models are fantastic - their hands are a bit too big on some, but fantastic nonetheless.

Fighting - Well, it's traditional point and click, but as you're always in a team, it feels good. It's also not easy. You have to time who goes where and who kills who or you end up with a dead party on your hands.  Yeah, the point and click system is not everyones cup of tea, and nor is it mine, but for this game, I'll do anything.

Suffice to say.... This is one hell of an RPG.

Noticed the skin pores?  Nice touch.  They overdid the blood splatter.  Can't wait to get my hands on the toolset.

Now if this was multi-player like Two Worlds...

Yeah, the blood spatter annoys me.

I love Alastair though, so funnny.

The script is flawless. Although for once, I would like to hear my character speak, would add so much more.

I was enjoying this game quite a lot
But, something was bothering me
I couldn't figure out what
Then after a few hours it hit me

The NPC's all look just like in Mass Effect up close. It's the eyes. The eyes are the same

I love the killing blows party members make on harder enemies, so satisfying.

Oh my god. Same.

I hadn't actually taken command of Morrigan until one certain Demon mission... and oh my god, it's so much more fun as a mage. I think it's disappointing that Warriors have such a poor selection of attacks in comparison to mages. Mages fucking rock.

Oh well, it means I complete the game and then play it again. big_smile

Mage is fun, but I regret not having lockpick. Also, the AoE spells are massive and if you forget to click 'hold' your idiot party members will charge into it. lol

Mage, Warrior, and Rogue are the main classes. Then you can choose 2 different specializations. One at lvl 7 and one at 14.

Warrior has Berserker, Champion, Reaver, and Templar.
Rogue has Assassin, Bard, Duelist, and Ranger.
Mage has Arcane Warrior, Blood Mage, Shapeshifter, and Spirit Healer.

Started a new game as a mage, that walking bomb spell is brilliant.

I was kind of concerned when I started my mage that it was gonna get the short end of the stick - just sitting in the back casting the same spells over and over- but its the other way around. With friendly fire, aoe, and spell combinations mages are so enjoyable.
