Might & Magic X: Legacy Q&A, Screenshots, and More

Ubisoft and Limbic's official Might & Magic X: Legacy blog continues to receive regular updates, with the latest batch including an entry on character development, a community Q&A, a handful of "work in progress" screenshots, and more. A quick sampling from the two posts:
Character choices

When creating your own characters for your party, you can choose the class (which also defines the race), a gender, and change the default character name to a name of your choice. Furthermore, you can change the character portrait, set an acoustic voice, modify the attributes, and select additional start skills. Each race has some specials, Humans for example are more resistant to Light Magic and Dwarfs have more Health.

Attributes

Each Char has the following attributes: Might, Magic, Perception, Destiny, Vitality and Spirit.

You can only modify the attributes in a positive way, which means that you cannot lower them below their initial value. Each character comes with 5 attribute points that you can spend on them during character creation. Of course the attributes can be improved throughout the game.

(I wonder if we can only walk on flat terrain or if the grid-movement also expands on mountains?)

In general MMX will have different environments: plains, barren lands, forests, jungles, mountains. Just not drastic climate changes like an ice field being located near a desert. The peninsula explored in MMXL is more "realistic" in that regard.

So besides (normal flat terrain), the grid-movement will expand to some hills, plateaus and flat water at least. In order to climb some hills/mountains, you might however need the respective blessing.

More info on blessings will be revealed on the blog soon, of course!
