[QUOTE="Droogie, post: 93632, member: 1298"] I tried it. I thought the interface was a nightmare. Basically, you have to right click, move the cursor, and double-click on the object to interact with anything in the environment. Not very intuitive. If I'm running for my life from some giant spiders and I need to get that door open, I'd like to get it open NOW. Maybe it was because it was late, or I was tired, or maybe I'm just getting old, but I just couldn't seem to get the hang of it. Also, the writing is a bit poor, the voice acting terrible, and the models talk by clapping their mouths open and closed like a wind-up chopping jaws toy, which looked pretty silly. I did like the story tho, and the magic system is interesting. Unfortunately, the wonky interface is what will keep me from buying this game. There are other RPG/first-person-action combo games that do the interface so much better: System Shock 2(great game!) and Deus Ex come to mind. [/QUOTE]
