The demo was fun, but I'm ambivalent about buying. I like Jowood's style, but the voice-overs in the demo were hokey. Fun kinda of hokey, but still hokey. I want the game. I don't want the game. I want the game. I don't want the game. In other news, I just finished the Single Player campaign in "Sacred" with a vampiress. I must say, the game has a slow start, but is still crack. It has issues though. . . and I intentionally don't accept all sub-quests... however! Some sub-quests are fun as hell and get a good sense of humour on classic fairy tales.
I find a girl caged in the woods next to a witch. She wants me to release her, and the witch has the key. I must first address the witch, requiring proper introductions before I smite her with my knight/vampiress. . . and she fesses up to wanting to use the girl to restore her own beauty and makes a counter-offer. Witch gives me stuff to let her be. My reputation thus far has been to backstab my employers and accept counter-offers, no matter whom it might be. Thus, the witch becomes beautiful, and the caged girl becomes an old hag and I get loads of treasure. *grin*... Erm. Back on subject.
Roland, have you tried the Spellforce demo? You really should :D I honestly liked playing the demo. Even though it was very easy against the computer... that wasn't a complete bad thing. Humans are another matter.
I really loved the fact you can go into a 3rd person perspective from very up close. Almost having the commander's first person view of the battlefield while the entire war rages on all around you. That's very cool imo. There are a few interface issues I didn't like, and the demo... well the scripted mission actions are a little honky. You can easily put a monkey wrench into all of it and bugger your own game.
Hmm... I'll get this game after alll since you guys have put interest into it. Just a matter of when =) heh didn't even know you fellow lurkers knew of Spellforce.
