Beta Journals 

Really loving these, can't wait for Orchist to tell the tail.

So far, if anyone has read any of these, what made an impression on you?

One thing for me was a description of "cloth physics"

From "The Adventures of Druhub the Barbarian"
QUOTE
I can't help but mention one thing that struck me when I first saw it.  When I put my footman trousers on, there's some leather hanging down past the waist.  What's impressive is the way the cloth physics work!  It moves just like it's real cloth when a leg, arm or any other object comes in contact with it.  Moreover, when you run with long, loosely hanging clothing it sways just as you'd expect it to!  I know I keep getting caught up on the graphics, but when you see them in motion it's amazing - screenshots don't do this game justice no matter how great they look!


The screen shot of the Elephant on this board was outstanding, can't wait to see that passing by.

Re: Beta Journals 

Without breaking the NDA, I can say that I spent about 10 hours straight yesterday playing. I am constantly amazed by the graphics and the effects all around me. I have some additional things I will add when they permit me, but I can't count how many times I said, "Oh my god..check that $^#$ out". I have been in awe over so so much so far and I haven't even left the city yet.

Re: Beta Journals 

If the water effects are as good in the final release as they look in current screens and movies... I'm sure I'll spend the entire 2nd hour of initial gameplay (1st hour creating characters) just staring in awe of how beautifully rendered the water is.

The Beta journals have been great for further hyping the game and giving a more personal explanation of what to expect come this November. *knocks on wood* It all just leaves me wanting to hear more of the details regarding battle and quest dynamics as well as enemy AI.




By the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain.

Re: Beta Journals 

I can tell ya this, from what I have seen, heard, and read, only really high end graphics cards will render the water that gorgeously while allowing you to enjoy the game at a decent frame rate.
