<br>
<blockquote>In the single-player game, you'll choose to play as any one of these characters, and you'll explore the game's six different realms, which will include your character's hometown. For instance, the amazon calls a jungle region filled with ruins that recall Mayan architecture her home, while the dwarf lives in a tranquil mountain village. Each character's hometown will eventually come to be a home area, which can be revisited instantly using a magic runestone that can be activated every 15 to 20 minutes. Hometowns will feature merchants to sell off the loot you've acquired from hacking and slashing through your enemies, and from which to buy unique items. You'll also be able to use your hometown's forge to socket magical gems, known as "magestone shards," into your weapons and items. These shards will have immediate effects on your inventory (a sword equipped with a red shard may deal fire-based damage, for instance), but they'll also trigger hidden abilities when used in the right combinations (such as planting a red and a green shard in the same weapon to create an all-new effect).</blockquote>
<br>
You know, I think it's great that the idea of starting different character types in different locations is catching on. It's good to see when good ideas spread.
