The reason being that if for example you "level" up with Ares you are likely to get improved skills or buffs to Mace damage. Now lets says you have to fight a horde of beasties and you want to use your shield, but you haven't "Levelled up" with Apollo so you’re quite poor with a shield, therefore you are effectively forced to only use a mace. This would be a shame as the diversity of weapon usage looks like a fun aspect of the game. However I'm completely running away with this as there isn’t enough detail about it for me to make even close to a judgement… erm but I kinda did. Oh and the "unique" deeds system, I can't help feeling that these will ironically be along the lines of "Go to the forest and bring me back the snouts of twenty corrupt boars as a sacrafice". All RPGs and MMORPGs have "corrupt" wildlife at some stage, it's like crates in FPS games. You can almost guarantee that someone will say to you “Our friends of the forest have become dark and twisted and they have turned against us. Please will you investigate the source of this evil”. Or maybe I’m just getting cynical in my old age. The combat looks interesting but I’m not convinced by the Gods specialising your skills in different weapons.

It wasn't as good as the (very similar) SpellForce games, but it was good fun. Looking forward to this. I liked Dragonshard, from the same people.
