God</b> - a new milestone in the action RPG genre. "It's addicting like Diablo,

looks nice like Prince of Persia", German games magazine PC Games describes.

<b>Legend: Hand of God</b> gives players a fantasy scenario. They will be helping a

young adept by fighting the evil - and will have to stand in loads of action

filled battles.
<br>
<br>
Unique graphic features like the cinematic combat system will make even
<br>
watching the battles fun: Enemies will be fought depending on their size -

It's inspiring to see the rare talents behind Krakout Unlimited 2 at work again.

 

[Twinfalls]

I've always wanted a Diego Maradona rpg.

Controlling <b>Legend: Hand of God</b> will stay as easys as players are used to.

Three difficult settings

"Very easy"
"Breeze"
"Auto win"

 

[Araanor]

Unique graphic features like the cinematic combat system ...

Whew, they almost got me worried there, I was nearly thinking that this was anything but an unique® epic™ experience.

Innovaiiiiishun!

hehehehe.

 

[LlamaGod]

well...

master creating is just 2 dudes and they like to make graphical roguelikes.

dont be expecting Planescape:Torment 2 or anything.

expect something you usually see posted as a roguelike here, but with fancy pictures.

 

[Uz0rnaem]

They say there are currently more than 30 people working on this thing.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

2 dudes who look like 30 dudes? That's scary.

 

[Curois]

No, it's 2 dudes working on it, getting sexual favors from the other 28 who are specially hired for just that. Think Gunther-style.

 

[Levski 1912]

No, it's 2 dudes working on it, getting sexual favors from the other 28 who are specially hired for just that. Think Gunther-style.

So they're following the Bethsoft business model?

 

[LlamaGod]

wait, arnt these the guys who made Restricted Area?

 

[Araanor]

I'd say yes, but then I'd feel stupid for making a trivial post. So I'd add padding.

 

[Curois]

No, it's 2 dudes working on it, getting sexual favors from the other 28 who are specially hired for just that. Think Gunther-style.

Yes. After receiving sexualfavours in the most innovaahtuv way, they'll have to bend over for Patrick Stewart who, in return, will then deliver the most unsettling bad dialog evah for their new game.

 

[Jan]

Hi guys! It´s fun to read your comments (again). Has been a while since Restricted Area...

And after all the stupid crab I read on other boards it´s refreshing to read your slightly more intelligent crab.

 

[LlamaGod]

Jan:

A quick question -

What would make me want to play this over the other 50000000 fantasy action RPGs and roguelikes?

 

[Jan]

Re

Certainly not a marketing announcement. *g*

First off (because that´s maybe most interesting to you) it´s not an RPG, it´s an Action-RPG - but with focus on both, not just on action. So however wants an RPG with less than 50% of the focus on action should buy... well, maybe an old copy of Fallout.

However, unlike most Action-RPGs (Diablo, Sacred, Titan Quest) it´ll offer dynamic dialogs and entire quests based on talking.

Also you can customize your character in an unseen way - it´s up to you if he´s a fire wizard with a tame wolf and a bow or an ice wizard with 2 axe and good negotation skill or whatever.

Most importantly we´ll try to tell a *real* story, not just give you a reason to kill monsters, and we´ll tell it with and some story telling methovs that have never been used before.

BTW: Feel free to be the first to post on the offical English board ;-)

[Nedrah]

Will combat be more on the "click click click click click click *levelup* *think* click click click click click clicksuckadickclickclickclick...." or on the "click... think... click click... think... reconsider... click" side?

Also what kind of story telling are you thinking about? I can't seem to imagine any kind of story telling method that's *never* been used before in computer gaming history.

Oh, und ihr müsst ne gute Klimaanlage haben wenn ihr euch bei den Temperaturen noch zum Spielemachen motivieren könnt

 

[Jan]

Well, something between... click click click *thinking* click click *think* click click click *think*

>Also what kind of story telling are you thinking >about? I can't seem to imagine any kind of story >telling method that's *never* been used before in >computer gaming history.

Well, that´s the cool thing - you don´t know it. And and may not tell you yet

Komm doch mal im deutsch LEGEND Forum vorbei...

Re: Re

Sweet. Is there a skill dealing with talking?

 

[Jan]

Currently: No.

However, this may change as we just discussed to go away from the skill trees and back to a typical RPG-like skill list. We even started Fallout to take a look which way they did it.

Ttheir are some social skills already - Negotation for example.

 

[Claw]

Well, in that case the game is an absolute must-buy.

Ttheir are some social skills already - Negotation for example.

And negotiation isn't a skill dealing with talking. Let's say I accept that instead of referring you to a dictionary. So.. it does what? Give you a trading bonus?

 

[Jan]

Re

That´s why I said "no" and "social skills". Yes, it´s a trading bonus basically.
I think the idea of a talking skill is pretty interesting, maybe we should really add one.

We won't buy it if you don't.

And make this one more or less bugfree please. I wanted to get Restricted Area until I heard of all the bugs - I reconsidered then and haven't bought it yet...

 

[Jan]

Re

Don´t believe the hype. ;-)

The English version is really pretty bug free as we released it 6 months after the German version. So you had 10000s of beta-testers! ;-)

Well, except for the multiplayer, it still sucks. But if you want to play alone, give it a try!
