hmm, I hope we can turn off the survival features. I'm not a fan of that stuff unless unless it's the only way to regain health.

I'm hopeful that it will be a very good modding platform, and we'll be able to play around with survival gameplay, etc. They said:

Our game will support modding. We plan to release most if not all of our game making tools and to actively support modding community.

I'm hoping it might be a good target for large quest mods, or total conversations, with far superior tech than Bethesda.

Im with Ripper on this one. But I'm quite sceptical at this point.

It's just that when I see a lovely tower like this:



I feel it should have a wizard modded into it.

I must say that much of the design and lighting are superb. The forest looks so real, I can almost smell the leaves. This is very much how I would like my RPG forests.



And a much longer one showing more progress. Still rough in some aspects, but quite amazing in others.
