    I was afraid it'd be more WoW-like. Guess there still might be some incline in this one.

    Looks nice-ish. Though the tiny legs on the orc look ridiculous.

    So, have they given anything up via character creation yet?

    Hate those WOW-wlf ears. But I'm digging the environment. Would be cool to play something like the SNES version with graphics like that

    This is looking pretty good. I have been waiting for a new Shadorun RPG for years. I'm really digging the environments and art syle.

    Eh, a tad too cartoony for my tastes really.

    Still have good faith in this nonetheless.

    Usually I roll my eyes when people with a stick up their ass call stylized stuff "cartoony" but I really do think this looks a tad too cartoony for me. Not that bad though, still enthused about the game.

    I think this looks good. I would like to see more tho.
    Maybe some character creation examples. Even if it's in the early stages.

    Meh, don't drag it out.

    This. I really want to see more before I get my hopes up. Also, can I trust this development team? What is the last RPG they made?

    Exactly my point.
    They've been talking the talk, but really it's all just talk. Am I excited? Absolutely.
    However, at the same time, am I cautious? Very much so. We've seen, what so far? Some screens, maybe a vid or two of character models.
    What else? Have we even heard about character development? Options?

    Those aren't really screens as far as I know. Just a drawing "how it's supposed to look like when they make it" (perspective etc.).

    Even worse. We have nothing at all.

  20. Please note that these images are not in-game screenshots. They’re concept pieces assembled from real game assets and posed characters.

    I gotta say, damn. Shadowrun's looking good. I really like the graphics. Stylized and cartoony, but with plenty of detail and still easy to spot characters in. Almost like Temple of Elemental Evil-like. Glad I got in on the Kickstarter for this one, hope the gameplay isn't awful. :greatjob:

    Screens always look nice. Never complained there.
    Just not given enough info about gameplay or character creation.

    We know character creation is classless, you're only making one character, and recruiting/hiring a team.

    Combat is turn based and uses action points and characters "automatically take cover".

    They probably don't have the answers we want yet until they do more work.
