For me, personally I hate turn based combat games but however the other content will make up for it. Difficult to describe but I just get the feeling the game will be great and if Larian get their advertising right it will be a hit in 2012.


If I do not like strategy games, why does it make me an idiot? The game may be great as a strategy game, but I am not going to play it. I like a genre, not a developer. Yes, I am dismissing it, does not matter how great this game may be I am not going to waste my time playing a strategy game. Why should I jump with joy if I see that Larian are going to develop a strategy game?
I'll pick some RPG instead. Strategy games fans may rejoice, though. Good for them.

BTW, do you often get feelings like this, about a great success of some game? It is kinda super-weird, you know. I can't even imagine what it is like, such premonitions are beyond me.

Well I suppose I could have worded it better but I didn't mean people on this forum. There's a good community here. What I meant was some of the comments on that site from one or two members who dismissed it already. Note I said "there's one or two idiots there who..." I have also seen other online debates about the game where someone said I won't buy it because it will suck donkey balls.

So, I'm not saying you are an idiot nor anyone else here. It's pefectly fine for people to dislike games or a genre; from what some people might think is the best thing ever to someone else it may be the worst thing. The comments you made about the game are perfectly fine. Some other people though go the wrong way about expressing their dislikes with anything and by 'idiots' it was them I was referring to. You know the type of person who simply puts rude one liners without saying why they don't like it.

As for 'getting the feeling it's going to be great' It does sound good on paper and from the video. True the turn based strategy elements I turned my nose up at but I think the rest will make up for it. I may be completley wrong and for me it might turn out to be the worst game ever. It's just too early to form an opinion yet. And no, I don't often get feelings like that. It's just nowadays I have become bored with games and when something sounds genuinley interesting to me I keep a close eye on it. Also I enjoyed Larian's previous games so naturally I'd be interested in future ones.

All right, fair enough. I wonder if Larian will develop a movie shooting capability in a real-time part of the game, like devs did with Medieval 2 Total War. It was a big reason for me to buy and play it, for shooting massive battles. With dragon fights it would be cool to be able to film things.

It is safe to assume both. Larian invested in the "Larian Valut" for download option that they currently have Divinity 2 games on and I think some of the soundtracks. The way their luck goes for North American releases, we'll be downloading the English version months before a physical disc is released.

It's different story, in the past when Maxos was still around and dragon knights ruled the skies.

I'm actually reading the blurb so far as 'Fantasy: Total War' - so a turn based strategic map, but real time tactical combat.

To which my honest thought is - I have waited SO long for someone to make that game! Bring it on!
