Includes a new video released on the 24th. Wow this game looks amazing, set for release on the 21st March now apparently.

The amount of polihing and refinement that is so clearly going into this game is staggering, we could be looking at one of the best RPG of the last 10 years.

See it here! http://pc.ign.com/articles/691/691594p1.html

Will we need a monster to run it? As it seems so... :/ Some of the visual's are the best ive seen yet on a pc game.

7800 or X1800/X1900 at leas tto run it in full unadulterated glory methinks. Imagine what it will look like in widescreen too.

Now where can I find a spare £700 lying around...

Think my old man would have something to say about that.

I'll just save for a couple of months...

Looks ok, some of the animation is terrible. Check out the bit where he's fighting the knight, about 1m 10s in...the guy seems to float back! Looks quite boring too...but then i hated morrowind...so dull.

The level of detail in the models, textures and environments doesn't excite me any where near as much as the detail in the physics and the characters actions. I've never played a game where swords properly clash and stuff like that.
