Well, I've played the demo now, too ...
Points of criticism (both positive & negative) are :
- I found the setting and the controls "okay-ish"
- this area doesn't look t all like I remember Ehb from DS1 - played only the demo of DS II ...
- the keyboard mapping is truly AWFUL - compared that in MOST games you access the inventory just by pressing on the "i" key ...
- from a shooper point of view, however, the "c" key is kind of convenient, since it is not too far away from WASD ...
- I just HATE this inventory etc. screen ! it screams "console !!!!!!!!" far too loud for
my taste ... plus it reminds me of Jade Empire ...
- the camera is just too near to the ground for my personal taste - even zooming out doesn't help too much ... - it just reminds me of King's Bounty ...
- I just LOVE the concept of the (how I call her) "fire elemental" ... She reminds me very much of my own concepts of Elementals ... Only, that MY concepts include so weird Elementals as Elementals Of Life, Elementals Of Love etc. ...
- I just wish she had been my creation, I just love this concept (not the character as such) ! - What about towns, or even countries where
nothing but Elementals Of Fire live ? How would these towns look like ? What would they trade ? What would they wear as armor, clothes - and what would they eat ? - Although - Elementals of my own concepts don't need to eart. Anything. They are ... like Avatars ... The pure impersonation of an element ...
That's my thoughts for now.
And yes, I've already de-installed it.
