I've never heard of those guys and personally don't care who they are, but they're talking a little bit about <A href="http://www.dungeonlordsgame.com/">Dungeon Lords</A> in their <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=1033">interview</A> with the publisher's PR dude over at <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/">RPGDot</a>. Here's a bit about <i>Why you, the hardcore CRPG fan, will love <b>D.W. Bradley</b>'s latest</i>:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>RPGDot: What makes Dungeon Lords attractive for a hardcore RPGer ... ?
<br>
<br>
Christopher Kellner, DTP:</b> DL has everything a hardcore RPGer desires: A vast and interesting game world, an epic and twisted story, which alone takes around 40 hours to solve, dozens of side-quests, a detailled character-building - you can put any xp at any time where you like to and make a unique character - and around 800-1000 items, some of them very powerful and unique, and a combat system which is action-orientated, but requires ever-changing tactics, as the AI is excellent. </blockquote>
<br>
<br>
Oh boy! Action oriented combat, lots of <i>ph4t l3wt</i>, and the ability to clear out barns with rats in action oriented combat for <i>ph4t l3wt</i>! The hardcore CRPGer in me just can't wait!
<br>
<br>
PS. <b>Dhruin</b>, can you please tell <b>Gorath</b> what a <i>hyperlink</i> is sometime?
<br>
<br>
Thanks for the word, <b>Dhruin</b>!

That sounds incredibly stupid, but then again I don't expect much from a game titled Dungeon Lords. Why does everyone making "cRPGs" these days get blinded by the Diablo Syndrome(tm)? Stop making clones already! :evil:

They should face facts and just call it RPG lite. It's light, you see, because of all the hot air it contains.

That was just a sort of wrap-up interview. The full Preview has some promising elements, if they pull it off and assuming you like/can stand the FPS combat.

Factions are always good and I quite like to idea of a hired-thief nicking off with the loot. On the other hand, the idea of populating a world nearly as big as Morrowind seems ludicrous. Dunno...I'm going to watch this one.
