DD was what all Diablo clones should've strived to be. Here's to hoping this one will not be a letdown like BD was. I also really hope Krill Pokrovsky is doing the music again, DD had one of the most atmospheric and well done soundtracks of any game.

I believe that Pokrovsky is doing the soundtrack again. There are a couple of sample tracks you can listen to on the website and they sound like his style and and pretty good.

I agree I think DD had the best soundtrack ever in a game. Its so good I burned a CD copy and listened with my headphones while at work.

I really think this game looks like it will be better than Dragon Age.

Quite frustrating isnt it?

Us hardcore RPG's have had our beloved Genre hi-jacked for the mainstream crowd. It's getting to the point an RPG is almost unrecognizable anymore.

I think we should come up with a new name for our genre instead of RPG.

What sucks is the dumbed down action RPG's that are also made for console's appeal to like 1000 console 12 year old kids for every one of us.

So a badly made RPG like Oblivion will sell 3 million copies.

I think we are a dying breed.

Maybe from bigger companies, but Indie still has some hope, right?
