My friend tell me hundreds of Filipinas are on sites like Adult Friend Finder giving their Yahoo address and having American men send them money to do all kinds of sex acts on cam even pre-teen girls. Sending their money thru Western Union Pay Pal and Xoom and committing all kinds of sin for money.
Is this tragedy true?

@Helm: The system evolved over the last 20 years. It has lots and lots of world content. (Yes D&D has that too but stretched over many realms) This and being a quite complex system today, I think the lure to play is not that high outside of germany.
Playing DSA (Das Schwarze Auge) for 20 years now it was no question to play it. though I have to admit the story and especialy the long distand runs kill the fun later in the game.
The development Team know of the problem and had a rather nice interview how it cam to that in a German Dev magazine. (They had in the play testing for a too long time a shortcut command to jump to places, and so missed the too long run ways until it was too late.)
They are right now working on the sequel (or rather prequel) and say the story density will hugely be increased there. I am really looking forward to that one.

this game makes me remember that excellent in game help system in temple of elemental evil (you could even click on a stat and see every modifier that was applied on it), they really needed something like that in Drakensang

@gumbomasta: I think you just sold me on this game. I know exactly what you mean, and great to hear Drakensang delivers.

Story, writing and setting is all well and good, but sometimes, I just want to play a rpg that’s about *using* your damn characters to the max. Not a lot of RPG’s really cater to that.

(And it not using the D&D ruleset is just an added bonus… I never could see the point in those for video games, at least up to and including 3.5. :))

Think I’ll pick it up from Play.com once I’ve gotten next week’s exams over with. :)

Helm, he’s not saying it’s a turn-off for germans, but that a german license could be a turn-off for other audiences.

SomeDev: why does the license act like a turn-off for German audiences?

Very cool to see a Drakensang “review” on RPS, I’d been hoping you’d do one (and probably would have sent a mix of pleads and threads via email until you did).

Its interesting to see that the license does not seem to be such a terrible turn-off internationally as many people over in Germany thought it would be.

@bierwitz: That could be a good thing. There like *continents* of ideas poorly translated from RPG to cRPG or Lost In Translation. Other than hack&slash, cRPG’s make good diablo games. What about a mistery RPG based on Lovercraft?
