You should try this game if you like Action RPG's. I just downloaded the demo from Steam, and damn it's great! It is a really gory game, with blood everywhere after you kill some Orcs. Check out videos, and if you think it's right for you, download the demo. I might have to skip Oblivion for this. I love RPG's, but want it more fast paced. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, took me a while to get into the game, and I'm expecting the same if I ever get IV: Oblivion. But damn, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is easy to get into, and a perfect mix of Action RPG with a faster pace.

Here's some videos:

Guess my choice is either Dark Messiah of Might and Magic or The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Then Guild Wars Factions/Nightfall.

Tell me what you think!

I played the demo, and it was way cool!:) It was so easy to do everything and everything felt so natural. I can only dream about it in multiplayer.. :eek: It also looked good even on my system! :D

However, there is a great BUT here: Why o why is everything so gory? I don't really know why, but I just find it disgusting. It's not realistic or anything either, so it has no purpose except .. I don't know. But it was way to gory for me. It takes away some of the gaming happiness if the screen, you and your surroundings are covered with blood and guts from 1 single hit. It's just to much for me. :shadedshu

this game is much better than obilvion...

the multiplayer is horrible right now (lag, bugs, very...very...very...very...very unbalanced), but that is suppected from a beta.

first prioirty game for me is bf2142, dm, gta:vcs, and other games...

I'm sure DM will be much better when it comes out, but it's great now anyways.;)

IMO, I like the extra blood and gore, adds more to it.

The game flat out rocks, I love going V for vendetta style with the dual daggers. The spell system kinda blows, but with those kinds of weapons, who wants spells?

I know, this game is awesome! Some bugs they can fix, but it's a pre-released demo, so I'm expecting great things out of this game and a lot more. More of my type of game compared to Oblivion since this is more actions.

And yeah, the dual daggers are the shit like in V for Vendetta.

Online too!

is the game has linear has the demo? Cause that would suck, i want something in-between Dark Messiah and Oblivion but with a smaller world.

Anyone know how to stab people with your arrow?cause i did it once but can't figure out how.

DM levels are like HL2 levels, but 2 to 3 times bigger.
