Looks shitty and boring.

Man, I wish Daedalic would make another Dark Eye game. RPG or adventure. don't care. I'm not picky at this point.

Dark Eye is a bad system.

It's a great system to keep autistic german kids with behavioural problems busy, so their parents can be more productive workers!

I prefer the TDE autism over the DnD/PF autism.

It really depends on what you're looking for in a pnp system.
If you want to run a D&D style game where the group hops from one fight to the next, with the occasional 'social encounter' in between, Dark Eye would be a horrible, unfun choice.
If you're interested in roleplaying in and exploring an incredibly detailed, diverse world with a system that has rules for everything from a vast magical system over horse trading to resolving IT intercourse, it shines.

 

[vonAchdorf]

The generic heroic music and the rather mundane action aren't the best fit.

Making of:

Anything Dark eye makes my cock hard,but the multi focus seems like a retarded idea.

[Silly Germans]

I wouldn't mind another game like Drakensang : The River of Time.
That was actually a pretty good game and had one of the better rtwp
implementations.
Did it bomb or did Radon Labs go down the drain for other reasons ?

It did bomb. They weren't able to make a profit. They turned into making an online game without the TDE license. But also called Drakensang.
I didn't like the rtwp combat (too much running around Benny Hill style) and the restricted party but otherwise a pretty good adventure.

With Drakensang River of time, they invested a lot of money into the game with full voice acting, open-world with NPC routines and even motion captured cutscenes to gain mainstream attention. That meant that it had to sell well outside Germany and The dark eye's biggest issue is that isn't very popular outside Germany. The predecessor Drakensang was a small hit in despite being a cheaply made. River of time sold even better than it's predecessor at released here but in the rest of the world did not care and Dargon Age Origins was only released 3 months prior...
Worst of all their publisher DTP (They also responsible for nearly bankrupting Larian after the successful Divinity 2) was already running out of money and didn't want to give them money for Drakensang 3. Radon labs couldn't find a new publisher fast enough which ultimately meant insolvency.

Sadly as long as shovelware like this gets the official license means, that we won't be getting a TDE CRPG any time soon. Seriously anyone who looks at this screenshot from Steam and still wants to spend money on this in 2020 needs a legal guardian.

I'm guessing you want 3D, animated red lizards and shit.

The actual real problem being this kind of shit is now the standard.
Oh, i want to color my pants and i want my character to have a hitler mustache ...

Fucking inbred retards ...

Anyway, to me it looks better than most 3D "color your pants" part of every character creation i had to endure (i just hit randomize or go with the default when i can)

I want still buy it. I know it will suck ass, but currently, none of my highly anticipated games are buyable.

 

[Ebonsword]

So, is this basically the Dark Eye version of Sword Coast Legends (which I actually liked, BTW) or is it more like Neverwinter Nights?

NWN wasn't so bad, but this tops both SCL and NWN in decline.

You know it's going to be shit when even the character models look embarrassed for taking part in this game.
