I'm really liking the look of this one. Just started playing through BG series though, so it's going to be a while before I finish them, not looking to start another game until I finish.
I'm a bit confused about when this is due for release though - August or September?

Yesterday I checked with the book sellers and release was 30th Sep. I checked today again and it's in stock with their third party sellers.

It is also available on Direct to Drive.

I just completed the short demo. I found it quite good apart from not being able to adjust mouse sensitivity and other things. The movement and camera system is annoying. How can I change the angle or the camera? It is almost top-down so you can only see 20 feet infront of you.

Coming from playing nwn and nwn2 the camera and quickslot system of thie demo is very primitive in comparison.

The demo seemed very short. I didn't even complete any quests. Did I miss something? I paid 100g to get over a bridge only to find I was blocked from going any further.

Did you save the boy? , go into the cave.........

But yeh thats pretty much it in the demo . Get the full game and you can still use your original demo character which is sweet and start from where you saved in the demo.

The demo was 100% stable though a little slow with FSAA, Ultra HDR and AF on. Yet fast with all 3 off. Need to play around a bit more.

Given the lacklustre graphics, it did chug a bit on a 7900GT on an E6600. But my feeling is that it's simply too derivative - nobody minds you ripping off Diablo(2), but you need to bring something new to the table, and if this did, I didn't spot it. By comparison I found myself playing Sacred again over the weekend, and that did have a number of original ideas. And will developers please give the "weapons as big as the character" thing a miss please?

But most importantly, this brought back a bug I also found in CoD4: once installed, all other programs take an age to open or close - typically about fifteen seconds. That leaves a reboot taking about five minutes. Once a program has been opened once, opening it again is a lot quicker for about twelve hours, then it's back to waiting until your coffee gets cold again. As I said, I found the same bug in the CoD4 demo, but I've not seen it in any other demo until now.
