Brilliant game so far.

Anyone else having a play?

Won't find it in aussie shops, OFLC strikes again.

I've been playing it in my spare time, loving it so far. Fav part so far was actually the beginning video, just loved seeing the weird mage like guy on the boat with the Gem of Trueseeing in one eye as he cast spells at the huge sea monster. The graphics are damn nice as well, although alittle intensive for my laptop and loving the fact when you walk out into the ocean the further you get away from sore the slower you walk.

Squeak.

Hmm... Looks interesting. Might have to grab down the demo and have a look.

That website is atrocious, though. I had to follow a link through to an IGN review just to find out that the game is an RPG. Rolling Eyes

Love the shades of grey approach to morality, some of the dialog is brilliant.

OMG you guys are so going to jail, playing a banned game demo and everything... *shakes head* cause you know, the not actually depicted but implied sex they don't show, and the drug with a name ive never heard of before... its so bad for adults over 18 in Australia and not the rest of the world that they deserve to be punished for such a thing. ... *jaded with a hint of sarcasm)

Yeah, they had issue with the sex, and the fact that you get xp for smoking reefers.

We need an 18+ rating for games, and we need it now.

If that's what gonna happen to the people with the demo, then I'm safe I only have the full game.

Squeak.

or, given its such a small issue with the entire game, they could put M15+ and advisories saying "drug referances and implied sex"

That's the problem, there is no such classification for games.

Well I downloaded the demo off an Australian gaming site (affiliated with my ISP) so can't be that banned (the demo anyway).

Played a lot more now.

Lots of good stuff, loving the dialog especially.

Not sure what the demo entails, hopefully a good taste.
