Drakensang - Shipping in NA
February 23rd, 2009, 22:40
THQ's ValuSoft doesn't seem to be in a hurry to send out a shipping PR for Drakensang, so Elkston writes in to do it for them - he tells us his copy just arrived via UPS. From our forums, it seems stock is patchy so don't be surprised if you can't find it in-store.
More information.

I'm not even sure if that's a word!

It bloody well is (a word).
It's the first sentence that boggles the mind.

Does anyone here know: Is the English version coming out on any of the digital distribution sites like Steam or Direct2Drive? I played the demo over the weekend and would definitely like to buy and download the full version.

@woges 
I was saying me too in response to Elkston saying he got his game via UPS. It was horrible English, but I'm an American so what can you expect?!

I was too cheap to pay for expedited shipping, mine is still somewhere in shipping limbo for probably 3-4 more days I assume, but it's ok, I'm still like in the middle of Persona 4 and trying to play NWN2 OC (with the 2 expansions still unopened)

Mine was supposed to come in last Thursday, but wasn't there, and then later on Thursday it showed as not coming until this week, then I got a call that it was going to be in store on Friday … I took Friday off and had a busy weekend, so didn't get there until today.
I remarked that I was nervous it would have been snatched up in the massive weekend rush … the guy who is the new manager got the joke, but the two other guys had no clue. I said it was a crazy thing called irony. Again only one of them got that …

Is the publisher ashamed of Drakensang and trying to sneak it into stores without anyone noticing? It's weird how no one knows about this game. I asked the lady at the pc game shop to order this game for me and she hadn't a clue as to what I was talking about. She is normally very up to date with the latest releases even with obscure games, but not this one.

Corwin where did you order your copy from? I'm in OZ too, but I haven't been able to find it in any of the local game stores.
Quick question, does anybody know what the DRM is like? Does the game have to be activated online, limited installs, disk in the drive…ect?
Cause if it's anything like Spore then I'll give it a miss.

And don't try to use a nodvd crack. The game works fine… until important quest NPCs start to disappear or you're going to find yourself locked in an ingame arrest cell.
