Downloaded the demo for this game today. Needless to say, I had more fun murdering ever inhabitant of a village then I did doing actual quests(which was actually a lot of fun to do. "Crime committed: Murder" lol)

It looks like WoW, which makes me sad.

Has anyone else played it yet? I would like to hear views from others.

Nope, haven't played it, don't want to play it, to busy doing other things (Like developing ideas for a new MMO, since I've been named Loremaster for a company, apparently, even though Payout is like..years away).

Honestly? Never heard of it before. Might look it up to find out more.. But at this stage, don't know enough about it to have much interest.

Looks interesting - I'd probably enjoy playing the game, but I don't know if it's something I'd go out of my way to purchase or not. I'll probably get around to playing it eventually.. But like most thing I say I'll eventually get around to playing, it'll probably be on the back-burner for a while yet.

Its really not that great... The mediocre character customisation, boring dungeon crawl (Literally one room full of enemies, tunnel, another room, tunnel.. ect) The lack of interesting lore, terrible animation and lip syncing and very loud, almost unwanted LOTR music wanabee playing constantly.

Thats not to mention the awful combat, which was supposed to be the be all, end all for the game.

Like I said, I had more fun murdering a town then actually playing the game lol.

This game looks pretty epic to me, but I've only seen trailers and read some shit on IGN. I still haven't played any sort of demo yet.

Wow, gameplay really is terrible. Yes, I downloaded the demo, it sucked balls. The lackluster character creation, the linear dungeon, lack of lore altogether (maybe it'll be released with the game a bit better? doubtful, I think Salvatore failed on this one.) made this game fall by the wayside early for me. I played it for maybe twenty minutes and found myself bored with it. I wouldn't waste my money on it.

I honestly didn't find it so bad. I wasn't happy with the UI though. It seemed so last Gen.
