Hey BW & gang... I just found the Book II demo on a Korean website. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.betanews.net%2Fbbs%2Fread.html%3Ftkind%3D5%26lkind%3D93%26mkind%3D0%26num%3D495765&hl=ko&ie=EUK-KR&sl=ko&tl=en They also have a small review of the game.

Tonight I logged on to Steam to play some Counter Strike. I clicked on the RPG tab to see if Eschalon Book 2 was there yet... this is what I saw... http://imgur.com/FtYa9.png Good news: Eschalon is on the front page of the Steam RPG section. Bad news: It's book I and has a release date of May 19th,...

I had to type my registration code 3 times last night.

I tried I
then 1
then I again.

Third time was a charm.

Yes, Thanks very much Basilisk Wrangler. I can't even imagine how many hours you've put in to this thing. I work within a 10 minutes drive to Microsoft, Valve, Bungie Studios and Zipper Interactive. None of these mega companies can produce a game that equals the level of enjoyment that Eschalon brin...

I've been waiting since the summer of '08 BW kept saying Book II would be released in '09. But with a game this complex and a shoestring budget, I can totally understand the delays. It's been a long long wait and tomorrow we get to see if it's worth it. I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve.

I was a pure magic user in book I. Planning on using a pure fighter in Book II. And mix for Book III.

What is everyone here planning on using for Book II?

I really appreciate all you guys taking the time to beta test this game. I've been to Zipper Interactive studios here in Redmond. These are the guys that make the SoCom series for the PS3... Video game testing isn't as sexy as it sounds! They work long hours and only get paid $14 an hour. They move ...

If you use the same engine for Book III as Book II, the content should be enormous correct?

Will Book III take a lot less time to create?

[1] Book II is not the same! There are several side-quests that you will come across that you'll have very little hope in completing with the character you'll likely have at that time. You're going to have to learn when to back out of a difficult quest and return to it when you are bigger and badde...

Like a lot of people, I've been patiently waiting a very long time for Book II. I have a couple questions. 1. How much play time will Book II have? I tend to take longer than most because I like to soak it all in and look for side quests. Book I took me 31 hours with a pure magic user. Will Book II ...

I know to many this may not matter, but is it possible to have a different (or choice of another icon) to represent the Spell Journal? I just do not like the idea of a pentagram as the icon. Here is what the original must have been as depicted in Book I manual and also the one currently in use. Ori...

Can you share these game titles? Thanks

Well I did book I as a pure magic user... I'm going to try book II as a pure fighter/warrior. Then for book III, I'll try a combo character. Playing any RPG as a fighter has proven to be very difficult in the past. It's easy in the beginning because they have so many hit points. But later in the gam...

No, I haven't. I'll stop by the bookstore today and look for a copy. Thanx!

Looks like you can buy it online too if you don't mind emptying your printer of ink.

You didn't screw up big time. There is a way to get to the other side.
