I have played the French demo of Silverfall.
Not having had French since College and the last year in High School, I was most impressed with myself being able to understand most of French being used in dialoues when I got the quests....
...
However, that aside, I've found the gameplay to play out much like Diablo 2, the interface for getting quests and solving + returning to the quest giver funtioncs much like Diablo 2.
Then all this is parred with the dialoque options of Baldur's Gate
(but the print was very small, so maybe I've missed some important info
.... )
as well as the choices of Planescape Torment (or maybe Baldur's Gate 2).
I didn't understand that much French to learn much about the story in game.
However, I died enough times to find dying in this game very annoying.
[/spoiler] Appararently when you die, your death is marked by a grave. This is fine, but to me, at least, when I tried to run or fight my way to this grave, I soon found myself in another one, simply because the map and the camera is of no or little use, navigating around the area.
This means that the first grave disappers and the last grave appears - very annoying, especially when you have bought your character new & better clothes and equipment. In the menus, you can click om 'tombe', but this doesn't do anything, you're are not shown where you graves (tombs) are.
Normally I wouldn't complain about this, but this game is so fast paced & action packed that, imo, this would be a good element to implement (use) in the game. [spoiler/]
I've also found that the monsters in this (or in the demo at least) were very tough and did level scale with the player's character at all times, meaning the game is still challenging and fun for the player (me), but it does mean that the pc is sometimes in over his or her head.
The bottom line for me is this: I'm going to keep an eye out for this game, hoping that maybe someday an English demo will be released for this game. Or that I'm able to get the UK edition of this game, once it is released in 2007. (or maybe the German edition, if that's the only option we have in Europe...)
