ATTN People who think they know what this game is all about:

To clear up all the confusion around this game, you guys should all know that it is NOT an epic free-form RPG. This is NOT Arx Fatalis 2, and it is certainly NOT a Morrowind/Oblivion clone.

In a very honest interview with the developers I read recently, they revealed that the game is simply a mission-based FPS game, structured like the Thief games. The missions do not interconnect and there is no branching storyline, but there apparently are many different routes to take through each of the missions.

Having said that, the combat is going to kick ass. Plain and simple. This is going to be the first glorious medieval-fantasy action game in a long time. :)

Fuck, this came out of nowwhere, at least for me. Looks great, and source runs very well on most machines, unlike the POS gamebryo engine oblivion uses.

Any multiplayer? Pls say yes..

I'm so sold.

There haven't been any kickass multiplayer medieval combat/action/swordfighting games in a long time.

Plus these guys made Arx Fatalis 2.

How often does dirt glow so brightly it bleeds into one incandescent off-white lump? I want a game with a set of HDR sliders so I can figure out if it's ever worth it.

Amazing texture detail in those shots. All of them kicked ass, save for the overHDR'd one.

This reminds me of some game... but I'm drawing a blank here. It's based in a fantasy realm, has crazy HDR effects.... really high poly outdoor environments... and these portals to some evil realm or something... Could someone help me out?

All joking aside, it's amazing to see the source engine scaling so well. It's too bad my fantasy roleplaying gaming time is booked solid into the next century.
