Heard about it a long time ago, it looks really interesting, and those grapples? Awesome.
The system of pawns is pretty good too, with them being able to switch between charectars and retaining memories.
I'm going to wait on reviews though. Not sure about some things.

This actually looks pretty brilliant, I like the fact that it's not a hold-your-hand type game. The night combat in that video looks fun to, I mean there are zombies coming out of the pitch black forests and you can't see them till they are really close!
RPG, survival horror game.

I'm sold on this game completely. The one thing that worries me though is whether or not climbing onto an enemy to hack at them at point blank will actually provide any benefit other than just looking freaking awesome. If it only does normal damage then what's the point? D; At least it will look awesome.

When I saw the first trailer it looked like [&@%!] to me. Now it looks kinda interesting. Too bad it's not coming out for pc.

Anyone picked this up yet? I'm really interested in it, but the reviews are kind of all over the place. Just wante to hear some opinions from Elder Scrolls fans.

Not as big as a TES game. but far more populated when it comes to enemies.

and the combat system...oh the combat system. SO FREAKING AWESOME
in short, get the game, or at least rent and try it

Generally I don't pay attention to reviews unless they are below 7

To answer an earlier question, climbing allows you to hit weak points easier. For instance, a cyclops has a weak point in the eye. You can climb up his back onto his head and stab him there. Or you could climb the back of a griffin while its on the ground and hit its wings in the air. Or you can climb the neck of a hydra and slice its head off. Or you can climb on the back of a Chimera and slice off the goat and the snake head. The bosses are gigantic, and most have to be climbed to effectively fight them.

Combat is amazingly fluid

Okay I played the demo and I have one question. How do I get my brother to get this..?

You hit him with a baseball bat untill he does.

That's terrible Nova... But Brilliant! Anyways I bought the game a little while ago and it is great. The battles with bosses are brilliant and require strategy to pull off without coming out with 2 health points left. Nothing feels better than climbing up the back of a cyclops, dodging its hand when it tries to grab you and stabbing it in the eye.

One thing I didn't like too much was how the mage class turned out. When you are encountered by enemies they aggro the main character first until a fighter pawn takes their attention away or becomes more of a threat. But mages take time to cast their spells and can't move while concentrating so when a swordsman is attacking you can't dodge but only hope your spell charges or a pawn helps you out. Despite this the mage and sorcerer classes are really powerful if you can get some spells off and enemies to aggro the fighters.

Just a couple of things that stuck out to me. It's a great game and a definite buy or at least rent.

I bought the game about 3 days ago and I find it difficult as hell. Very good though.

It's really difficult, which makes really awesome.
I mean I found myself checking my oil, curatives, and pawns for what I assume was a simple quest.
Traveling at night is actually a risk.

Recently, I told a merchant I would escort him to an encampment, but ended up taking him bandit hunting in the opposite direction. He was very resilient.
Wonder how he'd review me.

"Did not escort to destination. Put me in mortal danger in opposite direction"

I do that all the time. I will take a quest off the notice boards and wander off to do another quest someone told me about not realizing the one off the noticeboard comes complete with someone to guide. Cue bandit archers mission failed.

It disappoints me that this game isn't on PC.

Seriously Capcom, what is your issue with PC?

Worse because His quest took me through difficult terrain. I tried a few times, and i couldn't do it. So he ended up dying in the ever dark.
this is the first game where I didn't try really really hard to keep the escort alive. also where I didn't feel bad afterwards.

Can I just say I love this game?
I'm doing the Big One.. wowe!

The end game is awesome.
Though I'm stuck in the chamber of hesitation at the moment.

Mhm. I suggest.. KILL KILL KILL! I had a team of a Sorc, War, Fight and Mage. No Striders or anything like that.. I kicked ass.

Lvl 47 i thin, with my self as a maxed Mystic Knight, I have a Ranger, a Mage and A warrior.
My main pawn though, recently changed vocations. But she was a Fighter this whole time, from the beginning of the game, So she takes very little damage, compared to the mage and the Ranger.
But She has like 3 skills, and is a rank 3 warrior, so i have trouble with that.
My mage has fire affinity, so i can seal wounds, but the trouble is keeping wounds sealed.

Try the chamber of fate with the fight against a Lich who summons hellounds, a Chimera, and a Gorechimera

Oh god, I hate Hellhounds. and Sucubi. And.. Drakes.

Looks like a Skyrim rip-off lol.

Give me Drakes over hellhounds

Try the chamber of fate with a Gorechimera, a Chimera, and a Lich that summons hellhounds at once.

and to the above poster, the combat in this game is so much better than Skyrim its funny

(Not a necropost, under a month betwix posts.)
Just finished and I have to say, credits = surperb! I almost felt like crying at that point..
