Comments
Theres no structure, theres nothing to motivate you to do anything. You get thrown into the world and its like... ok now what, go chop some trees, go mine some rock, go pick some berries, go tame animals, go roam the lands, go slaughter some bad guys.
Theres no experience and skill increasing is done by usage. So you could train in all kinds of things like apprenticing with swordsmans and clubsman and clerics and monks and more.
The world is MASSIVE, you could walk in one direction for hours and still have plenty to go to. I would probably say that the 1 continent I was on was the probably the size of the entire land of Morrowind, and there are alot of continents, I think like 9.
Theres a dedicated team thats going to be doing live events in the world, that could be very cool
The interface has some cool stuff, like if you play in windowed mode you can drag interface items from within the game window out onto your windows desktop. But its also clunky and tedious unless you have plenty of desktop space (high resolution) to be able to keep alot of windows open all at once.
The attack system is uninformative and there is no autoattack, you just gotta constantly spam your attacks and hope you are doing something.
There is no key-press movement, its a forced click to move system.
So no comments on it? NDA? I did the whole fileplanet deal, just didn't get anything. -_-
