I saw the Youtube video of before/after the Kickstarter and it was nice, but last time I tried the game, my first impressions were somewhat lacking that "wow" factor:

  • The boat just pops into existence from nothing.
  • The boat approaches the shore at constant speed and stops dead, and a single, small, sad water splash happens.
  • The boat doesn't rock on the waves... not even sure there were any waves.
  • The orcs just popped into existence instead of rushing down the just lowered gangway from the boat.
  • I got set on fire by one of the orcs but wasn't able to run into the water to put myself out (which, from that Youtube video, appears as if I should have been able to).


I mean, I'm sure the game is great, but the first impression that battle leaves of the game is just so, so weak!

And such a missed opportunity!

I mean, here you have a huge landing vessel smashing full speed into a beach with orcs rushing down from it's bow. Total chaos and calamity... and instead we get something from Pac Man.

Larian, when are you going to go full Saving Private Ryan on this?? smile
