    I'm pretty sure most of you may know about this already... But there's a FP RPG in the works called Arx Fatalis. And so far... I gotta say, it looks and sounds very sweeeeet.

    Get this for the magic system, instead of clicking on an icon, instead, you draw a rune (symbol) on the screen with your MOUSE!!! Then, once all required runes are drawn, the spell is cast! Imagine that! No more lame, point and click! You ACTUALLY have to LEARN to god-damn runes in order to cast magic!

    Here are some sites if you're interested:

    Erm, DU, were you aware that Jinxed, Calis and a few others are the ones that actually run the rpgplanet.com/arxfatalis/ site?

    Also, that moving the mouse around the screen bit isn't new. It was a major feature of Black and White. It's pretty cool I think, actually.

    Calis? No, The people involced in the TD Arx project can be found on this page.
    Edit: If anyone wants to talk about this, we have sweet forums there...

    What, I get named a staff member just because I hang out in their IRC channel a bit and have ops there? Heh.

    No dialogue trees makes me question why it's called an RPG in the first place.

    It's a Diablo-like-clone-thing, that is also an unofficial sequel to some Ultima Ascension/Underground/Thingamabob. I read about it in the FAQ, but couldn't remember which one.

    No dialogue? Didn't know that. Maybe it's not as good as I thought (Well, unless someone hacks it, changes some code and makes a mod with some dialogue). Oh... And everyone else....

    Ahem.... Ahem.... Plus, one of the links is to the Arx Fatalis - Tarant Daily forums.

    I'm merely pointing this game out to the person(s) here that may not be aware of Arx Fatalis.

    Thank you all for your time, that is all I have to say.
