I'll be interested in the game if the combat isn't IN YOUR FACE 90% OF THE GAME. I've heard some interesting features of Harbinger in the interviews in the past that make me moderately interested in it.

Though, I agree with Lasse, if it were turn based, I wouldn't need to look at a demo first.

A real-time combat RPG needs to be very very good in order for me to play it...

Even if the game is good, I'll never complete it if it's real time.

It's basically gotten to the point where there's so little selection in turn based CRPGs, if it's got it, I buy it.

I'll play a real time CRPG occationally, like Divine Divinity or Prince of Qin. However, that's similar to the orphans in David Copperfield eating gruel. It's not like they liked eating it, it's that there wasn't much choice.
