The DVD had Redgar, Mialee, and Lidda (at least when I was watching it).  They are clearly computer-generated characters, about on the order of Final Fantasy: the Spirits within in detail, but the animation is excellent and smooth.2.) The DVD has - let's see, what did they say - about 40 different "paths" with about 190 total choices.  Depending on the choices made, the "movie" is 18 minutes (shortest) to over 40 minutes (longest).3.)  The movie runs in segments until you get to a "choice" - then you use the menu keys on your DVD player (or the mouse on the computer) to make your selection and the movie continues to run.4.) Spell effects demonstrated while I watched (all Mialee's spells were a cyanish-blue in color) - detect magic and sleep.  Detect magic shows Mialee's POV and has magical effects glowing the cyan-blue color - almost exactly how I envisioned it working <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> - she detects a magic effect when Redgar is arm-wrestling some psionic(?) bald and tattooed characters in a tavern.  Her sleep spell looks like a little blue glowing ball in her hand that shoots up to the roof of the tavern and "bursts" into a cloud of glowy blue sprinkles (tracing out the area of a sleep spell, nice touch) and putting people to sleep.5.)  Saw some scenes of Redgar kicking the snot out of some wolves. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />6.)  Mialee's hair is not all wild - she has it up in a semi-bun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />  Strangely enough, it looks pretty darn good on her.  Also, there is no proliferation of large chests on the DVD - a nice touch - Mialee and Lidda look very believable (read: small) given their overall skinniness.  Dare I say, Mialee looks kind of hot regardless? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  7.) This part I'm kicking myself over - apparently these guys have a website but I didn't write it down! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />  It's <a href="http://www.scourge???.com" target="_blank">www.scourge???.com</a>  I tried googling for it but to no avail.8.) DVD is due out in July.EDIT: I believe a press release will be coming out sometime shortly after GAMA (next week)?--The Sigil</blockquote>
