There's <A href="http://www.homelanfed.com/index.php?id=20306">an interview</A> over at <a href="http://www.homelanfed.com/">HomeLAN Fed</a> covering <a href="http://www.akella.com/pub-metalheart-en.shtml">Metalheart</a>, which is that turn based CRPG that <A href="http://www.akella.com">Akella</A> is making. The one sans character creation. Here's a bit on locations:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>HomeLAN - What kinds of locations and settings will be available for the game?
<br>
<br>
Alexander Shcherbakov</b> - Huge part of the game is all that ‘postapocalyptical’ and ‘postnuclear’ type locations. Deserts, dump-like towns, caves etc. But there is more, like laboratories, hi-tech bases and so on. We don’t want Metalheart to be a boring game with all that ‘oh no, desert again’ things. We don’t want player to feel bored. So you even can find lots of locations which are absolutely not typical for the Fallout-type worlds.</blockquote>

Desert is what you make of it.

Desert is what you make of it.

True, though some of the towns in fallout seemed a bit samey. Most towns in the middle east look rather alike as well.

Dunno, I really wonder how this game will turn out to be.[/quote]

I thought Metalheart was Cyberpunk?

Damn it, i'm behind on everything, haha.

HomeLAN - Will there be any multiplayer features in Metalheart?
Alexander Shcherbakov - No. Metalheart is single-player oriented. We just think multyplayer features will fit well for this game.

that sounds weird ....

im looking foward to this game but i really dont like that you cant make your own character, whats the point of a *role* playing game when you dont get to customize your character ?

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

That's the part that gets me. You just can't make your own character. Without character creation, I lost a huge chunk of my interest in the title.

they could add a third character to the ship (or replace one the two) with your (generated) character and leave the second as support cast (maybe even auto-generate him to complement your abilities)
