Man I keep looking at this picture, and I get all giddy. That looks absolutely perfect. Absolutely gorgeous. A small gripe is the trees, now that I look on them. They look a bit pastel-ish and not at all like the rest of the art. But man, I love it, I love it, I love it.
[quote who="Vordrak" reply="19" id="2051686"]Like it. Agree with earlier post about the shadow angles (multiple light sources?). Most medieval cities had the fields outside. However, there were exceptions. My main interest will be the flexibility of the building customisation (can we have buildings made of crystal / flesh / mud / trees) ? Are all these buildings customised then?[/quote]I need an empire of mud-huts. [quote who="alway" reply="

Man, that looks great. I've got a hard time imagening how you're going to make that look BETTER without ruining the impression!
[quote who="psychoak" reply="11" id="2051389"]If they could combine the sandbox aspects of Oblivion with the combat system in Dark Messiah, pull a rabbit out of their ass and outdo both in the customization options, and write a decent script for the main plot, I could go for an rpg...

Link and/or source? Regardless, it sounds a lot like GalCiv2:TotA, where the tech trees can also be described as "largely the same". I'd rather get hung up on this quote by Brad: [quote] [...] There are 12 factions in the game, not 2. There are two races. Civilization has one race (humans). Each of the 12 factions gets their own spell book and their own technology tree so they will play very very differently. [...]</stron

[quote who="Aeon" reply="4" id="2051041"] I like the Luchuirp for the Golems, but I've had fun playing as Hippus, Amurites and Malakim. When I read that E:WoM wasn't going to have distinct tech trees per faction I was a bit disappointed , but thinking about it, FfH has the same tech tree whoever you play and the factions are still incredibly varied. It does also benefit from the fact that there are some very distinctive mechanics for each race on top of th
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="3" id="2051002"]Ender's Game is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card.

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="22" id="2050806"]Well, you don't often get to play truely parasitic people. Even when they 'claim' to be parasites, like the zerg, there is little that really makes me feel that they are. They have infected people and creatures, but that is about it. Those creatures seem to be living alright on their own. The people living in a giant would have to have some reason to want to do it. Perhaps they use the giant's body heat to keep th
[quote who="Serik55" reply="20" id="2050793"]What's most important in an CRPG: good dialog, memorable characters, lots of player choices (put the R in RPG ). If you hit those three, then the setting doesn't matter so much to me, but steampunk is still awesome.[/quote]Exactly! If Planescape: Torment sucked balls when it came to dialogue, characters and choices, I doubt people would still be going "Zomg, I love the Planescape setting" . My point isn't that Planescape is bad. I'
Bah. It was only a flashbang. They couldn't end up killing the only character I actually like and find remotely believable.
