| To tell the truth, I'm anticipating Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines a bit more than Lionheart. When I first heard about it, I was awed and really happy, but many things have changed since then. I believe Fallout 2 to be the best RPG ever, and nothing will change that (even though, for example, BG2 is longer and better technically). I love the SPECIAL system and I was overjoyed when I heard of a fantasy RPG with that system implemented. What I can't understand at all, however, is why would they resign the turn-based AP system in combat? It's just needlessly complicating things - it's now realtime, but with a pause function, that ONLY does this and that, etc. I really would like the old turn-based system much more. Oh well, guess you can't have everything. We'll have to wait how it turns out, but I'll certainly be one to buy this game, no matter how low the reviews get - just because I have so much respect for the people at Black Isle and have never been let down by a product of theirs (the first Icewind Dale let me down a bit, but it doesn't really matter). |
