Might & Magic X - Video and Images

I watched some Let`s play videos and it looks VERY cool. I had played Grimrock, was much fun, so I know I can cope very well with tilebased even now.

Funny, I too learned English solely from computer games. In *my* days, many of them were Legend TEXT adventures. With TONS of text. lol

Back to M&MX: I really hope it is a success and we see more like that! Only the UI is WAY too big, filling too much of the screen.

Though it's actually pretty tiny compared to the games this is based on...

Yeah, base appetites are what you need to play games in English
Playing games games gave me the incentive to learn this language back in the eighties, and posting on usenet and then forums honed the skill.
I find it a shame to see devs pander to ever lower skills to sell their games. Already, I'm having trouble explaining to my pupils why they should learn English at all. if they get everything translated on day one.

Obviously, I'm waiting for my MMX download to finish. For those who unsuccessfully tried to preorder the boxed version from the uplay website: I had the same problem, but I could finally preorder by doing it through the uplay client instead.

I know, but... still. Even in "remakes" you have to evolve. I simply don`t want to stare at 2/3rd UI.

I would prefer grid based movement only in the dungeons, the rest should be freedom of movement. I appreciated the style in Grimrock, and I get the whole legacy approach but here I don't think it works. At least in above ground areas.

Good enough for me. I can roll with the grid-based movement.

Is there a pause?

It's true turn-based I go / you go, so there's really no need for pause. The game will wait for you.

Ah, nice! I missed that somehow. mmmmmmm. This may become an ultra-rare buy and play at release candidate.

Is it possible to side-step?
I hate turn - move - turn-back, and not seeing what I want to see.

You can side-step. They do it while walking in town in the video.
