Voted already, and I've been spreading the word on a few other sites I visit. Hopefully GOG will get it and it will sell well.

FraterPerdurabo: Had a look at the trailer and it bears too much of a similarity to the Infinity engine *shudder*
That's a pass from me, sorry.
But free bump!
Just think of all the boobs!

And I really dislike the Infinity Engine also, but that game does look promising. Especially as there seems to be an important emphasis on dialogues. Which was one of the few strong-points of that engine.
It's more Divine Divinity than Baldurs Gate.

darthspudius: How can you not like the infinite engine? Still one of the best.

I really dislike the art style. I dislike the unexplored maps and fog of war. It's just not... me. I've tried to play many Infinity engine games (IWD, PS:T, BG2) and have never returned to them simply because I really dislike the engine that much.
On top of that, most of then are also DnD based (death).
Maybe it's because I don't really understand DnD, but I've always found it very offputting.

Well, it's got no fog of war, map exploration is still in obviously (big part of the game is exploration,) the system is pretty straightforward, all the game does have is isometric graphics.

I can understand being put off by DnD, it use to drive me bonkers trying to work it out.

I like isometric - Fallout 1 and 2 sport one of my favourite RPG engines.
The Infinity engine is just not my cup of tea for some reason...
Also in general I find fantasy settings unappealing (as opposed to say post-apocalyptic a la Fallout and steampunk a la Arcanum).
As for this game, the story looks very interesting but the gameplay seemed really slow and uninteresting. I'm not sure I'd like to trawl through so many dungeons to get at the story.
I might try a demo. I think it was mentioned in one of the earlier posts that a demo in English is available?

Yeah, you'd figure that some game would provide you with a concise summary of the game mechanics considering how immensely popular DnD used to be in gaming at one point.
At one point I actually found some random .pdf on core DnD mechanics. Right, so "d" means dice. Ok, that makes sense now, I always thought it stood for "damage." I mean, RNG is basically dice rolling... But why would you describe my weapon's damage as "roll an eight-sided dice once" rather than having a simple 1-8 dmg (no need to even mention the swing). I guess it does become more relevant once you get more complex gear, but to a DnD ignoramus it's simply baffling at first.
And then you've got all that choice between blunt and spear and sharp or whatever? Fuck knows what I should go for? You tell me?

When I have asked Cinemax about demo of the Czech version, they have basically replied that making a comprehensive demo of this game would be impossible and since it's completely without DRM, you can feel free to pirate it and buy it based on that experience. Knowing this, if you are still interested and I get the english version, I could just transfer it to you.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind!
Im talking about this game in Youtube and some hispanic webs,like clandlan,3djuegos and meristation,this guys really deserve some recognition...the game seems to me like some mix between Divine divinity,Arcanum and Sacred.
