Thanks for the replies. In any even the nutshell light, later M&M tells me that I'd probably not care for it as I've had all the light RPGs that I can stomach for a while.
Yes, I realize that a demo exists, but usually they are either(or both) very large and/or not representative of the full game. (Demo size isn't really much of a problem any longer, but demos usually just end up being a major PITA on top of not being representative.)
Yes, I've also seen and read some of the very few official reviews, and like most modern reviews they tend to entirely ignore little things like game mechanics, deeper details of settings, etc. and primarily focus on graphics and sound(and if and/or how often the game crashes). i.e. I find most modern reviews to be entirely useless as they tend to entirely skip or only very lightly cover the aspects of the game that would indicate to me whether or not I may like it, which is why I attempted to browse through the game's forums. It's usually possible to glean additional information from a game's forum if they're somewhat active, but Gods seemed to be DOA(a bad sign).
Well, back to my neverending quest for decent new CRPG material, or an almost impossibly difficult quest in reality...
(My favored CRPGs were many of the old SSI highly tactical RPGs, some of SSI's gold box AD&D games & their 1st person AD&D games, some of the old EA RPGs(e.g. Deathlord), Wiz 1-8, M&M 1-7, Realms of Arkania trilogy, Fallout 1 & 2, Dungeon Master, Bard's Tale 1-3, Dragon Wars, Daggerfall, Ultima 2 - 7, Legend of Fairghail.
Undecided/ambivalent about KotOR, Morrowind, Wizards & Warriors, NWN1, MoM, Devil Whiskey(nice but short), Gothic 2.
Tried some lighter action RPGs recently again too, mainly Dungeon Lords Collectors Edition, Dungeon Siege II, and Oblivion. Oblivion and Dungeon Lords were the best of a poor lot and had their moments, but also were not classics.
Disliked: all infinity engine games, Diablo I & II, Nox, Daemons Gate.)
