I couldn't agree more. This reminds of the novel Cugel the Clever by Jack Vance... a great fantasy read if you're into that sort of thing.

I'm not sure if the chess analogy is really relevant? Chess isn't a computer game. Yes, you can use the fact that you play against a computer AI whilst playing chess to intuit that better AI makes a game more challenging but that's really the only point to draw from it, and this is common...

Yep, the Jedi Knight series has flawless lightsaber combat all in all imo. Jedi Outcast 2 is astonishing... As has already been mentioned, it seems as though clashing will be implemented properly later on in development. The fact is, most warriors of the world wielded one handed weapons or...

I would absolutely agree with everything said above also. I think that the mythical monsters need to be in a low frequency, but those fights need to be memorable, epic and ground-breaking. Really nice post btw NT122.

I'm glad to see Divine Divinity isn't left out! 'Tis a great game. My personal favorites are Baldur's Gate 2 and 1. Fallout (1,2,3 and New Vegas) the Witcher 2 and the Knights of the Old Republic games. Dark Souls and Demon's Souls go without saying also.

Ditto. The Witcher 2 by a good distance has the best romance imo. There were many pictures of Triss to choose from on Google......

The hilarity of The Holy Grail, could be a reality in Sui Generis!

I'm in to.

Yeah, I think immersion and "realism" is definately the word(s). As they've already stated, they will have seasons so I think there's a pretty big thumbs up from the developers for dynamic environments. I'd love to see a big variety of biomes in the truest sense of the word i.e. different types...

I must add that it is the end result that matters here also....... either dying or surviving o_O

This was my point earlier. I think dismemberment ANIMATIONS would be good upon death, but they mustn't have any affect on gameplay. If you die because you get an arm lopped off, or die because of a flail to the face (See signature above) , you still die... .

I think severing of limbs for players isn't a very good idea. Yeah, it may be realistic, but it would take so much from the gameplay that it could make the game unplayable to any reasonable degree. We already know the game is going to be "hard", so with combat hard as well, it seems unnecessary...

Yeah its called "The Fight-back for the Governorship or California".

I may be wrong, but ALL games get easier as you advance. They may get harder relating to your character's stats, but as you progress as a player of the game, even harder challenges are made easier after even one playthrough. There's nothing that developers can really do to combat (pun intended)...

I'm pretty sure you can prescribe percentages to any situation in a game, be it hit or miss, saving throws etc etc. It only becomes annoying if a player can't avoid it yourself (I.e. you are in a set-in-stone position or stuck in some way). From the videos we've seen SG seems very much like a...

Stealth and/or camoflauge. Multiplayer sounds just SO good. It HAS TO BE IMPLEMENTED. Improvised weapons sound like a good idea, but it may be too difficult to implement.

Well low-fantasy is a world like Vance's "Lyonesse". If you haven't read it and are a fan of fantasy, just buy it. The average peasant believes in spirits etc etc but they almost never come across them. 90% would live their whole life without seeing a fairy flutter by or a spell cast. Magic is a...

Well, you could always get a blood transfusion? Oh, wait, low-fantasy medieval setting... If your PCharacter gets an arm cut off I'm gonna put it out there and say that your adventuring career is well and truly over, so maybe not the best thing to implement. Dismemberment should be used...

I definitely agree with this. All too often characters run into pubs or bars or "busy streets" and the NPCs just stand about without gorm. The Fallout games spring to mind.
