Re: How did you learn about our game?
Um.. I am sorry I can not help you out on this. I don't remember where I learned about the game. I mean, I just opened a chest and there it was. Maybe one day I will be able to remember what happend.

I have to admit, I had to google this guy with "Steven Ballmer throwing Chair", and the results are very funny.

Re: Inventory Management
On this subject, actually, I noticed in Book I that if you use a Lore spell to identify an item, and then stack it with an unidentified version of this item (which the engine allows), all items in the stack revert to unidentified. I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour or a bug, but I can imagi...

Re: A more interactive world for Book II.
Hmm.... What would be the point, though? In terms of improving gameplay or game experience, I mean? Interactivity with people, of course... but... chairs? I don't know. I've seen games, of course, that let you sit in chairs or sleep in beds . . . it doesn't seem to add anything to the game experien...

Re: * BOOK II COMBAT OPTIONS *
Then there's the shield, and -possibly- dual-handling. Now I'm ready to believe that one could quaff a potion in ANY situation, as long as you have free hand! Not that you'd have to unequip your shield everytime (it's already annoying enough when you need to use a torch goddamnit) but its defensive...

Re: NEWS ITEM: October 20, 2008 - Third monster profile is up
So if I get into trouble with another monster, can I cast that nifty missle shield and run under the plant for protection? It would be nice to watch the plant kill the monster chasing you. How do you like my new weapon? :twisted: I sure hope you still get the xp for killing the monster in a creative...

Re: Regeneration of Monsters
Just to throw in my thoughts on the subject. I would rather have the above ground areas never respawn unless there is a specific dangerous region that is just crawling with monsters. In place of respawning I would rather see a small chance of a random encounter. I also think that random encounters s...

Re: What type of Quests?
I enjoy the “go kill the rats in the basement” type quests, but sometimes I would like the side quest to be more involved and have a little more impact on the story. Here is the base run down of a quest I would like to see. Early on in the game when you are being introduced to the main quest have wh...

Re: Do you want loot/pick lock/disable trap to be changed ?
In response to all those people complaining about others re-loading the game. WHY DO YOU CARE HOW OTHER PEOPLE PLAY A SINGLE PLAYER GAME. Get over it. If you don't want to re-roll don't, but don't force people do it your way, or you just take the fun away from them. How would you like it if you forc...

Having become aware of the game recently, the wait does not seem so long for me, but the excitment is growing. I had a little trouble viewing the demo when it was showing underground battle, but that is because of the computers at work, (not the best computers, but work is where I have a high speed ...

With all this excellent talk about two-weapon fighting, we can not leave out the usefulness of the off-hand weapon being a shield. There are to types, or classes, of shields. Offensive and Defensive. The defensive shield is your large heavy movable wall type shield like the tower shield. A defensive...

My very first question would be what are the qualifications for your sources. Are they expierienced fighters, or are they just history buffs who have no real combat expierience. I have studied martial arts for many years, and I have fought with two weapons. It is not even close to as hard as they cl...

In the real world the off hand weapon serves many purposes, and what it is used for is dictated by the combat. The off-hand weapon can be used to parry, to switch up attacks (as you poointed out), to fient, or both weapons can be used at the same time for a dual strike. The question is how to you im...

It would seem that we are both correct depending upon the point of view you choose to take on the matter. To me martial arts includes any form of combat that one dedicates themselves to in order to perfect the use of the style. It seems that your take on a martial art is the traditional oriental syl...
