"Arx Fatalis - your opinion"

Posted by Cherub on Dec-16-01 at 11:30 AM
Hello folks,

wizardry 8 has been released and unlike the 7th part it took me only 3 weeks to finish the game. well, not so much. when i remember cotds, which i hadnt finished in 94, although i bought it just after release. (is the sentence finished yet? lol)

anyway, i ordered the wiz archives to play the first 5 parts of wizardry but besides iam also looking forward for new RPGs and hope something nice will come soon. so i checked the net and found Arx Fatalis ( http://www.arkane-studios.com )

what do you think of it? perhaps someone already knows a bit more? the graphic looks great but is this everything? they said its from people who were formerly looking glass and some others made ultima underworld. i liked their games. played thief 2, deus ex, underworld 2 and saw shystem shock 1 and 2.

what do you think of this game?

personally i think everything about the game needs a bit of work from looking at the demo. the game engine dosen't run very smoothly (which makes any grafix look like shizznit) and controls weren't too intuitive (never even finished the demo cuz i didn't know how to throw a rope or fix a control ). HOWEVER, i must commend arkane on the new spell system - it's whag! i don't think it can get by on that alone thou. if u want grafix check out blade of darkness - now THAT is one pretty game, and a solid engine to back it up too.

"Looks good"

Sounds very ambitious. But where is the demo I hear of?
