I wanted in on that beta

game sounded like it was trying something new...what's this hate? I didn't even know the NDA was liften...

I think it's going to be like Matrix Online and a few others .... only a niche audience will love it.

I'm suprised it was even attempted. It seems that NWN and NWN2 would be all you ever need for strict DnD related gaming.
 
I was in the beta... It was clunky and just unfun. I really wanted to like it, but it was just terrible. At level 3 I already had so many skills that I could no longer fit them on the screen and 2/3 of them were useless. The D&D rules made it so hard to be a caster because you could only cast a few times before having to sleep for the night to relearn your spells but you can only do that once per dungeon and at set spot in that dungeon.

I did like how they tried to incorporate lots of scripted events, but the engine was clunky and it was hard to tell when a scripted event was going on sometimes. Lastly, the game was terribly linear.
