- plays beautifully at 1280x1024..
- I have the gamespeed turned down to 0.9
- the characters move really well

I'm still at Crossroads and
it's taken me 10hours to get my "Hand" skill level up to 25
now all I need is a couple more Dex points and I'll be able
to use the special Hand Armour..

- but I have to say, my CHR's current outfit looks great..

**BTW - sjr has released a mod that allows 1600x1200 resolution..
**see here :woot:

57 hours into the game....
- the enemies are getting tougher!

- but it's fun tracking down the Gemstones, though!

now 68 hours into the game, and driving ever onward..

- this is good fun..
- after a slowish start, it's now racing along..

- as you can see, the party is growing..!!

:woot:

Do you have up the Ruby at this stage? Or gaps in the sequence?

Ok guys, stand at ease..

- I have the first four gems, so far..
- spent many (real) hours training the party up

- actually, I've been playing this Beta in SP mode for 74 hours..

- get that?

- SEVENTY-FOUR HOURS!!
- and I'm still keen on finding out where I'm going next..
- so you DSAbstraction guys must have got something right..

- sssso ..maybe I'm an old hand, possibly wizened in the lore of Aranna..
- so perhaps I'm a bit nostalgic about DS1/LoA and all that pioneering spirit, etc, etc..

- but I've just gotta say it..
- the Hand skill really is something else

- a real Elite level, actually in-game..!!

- this is great fun..!!

- 97 hours and still going strong (-in SP mode)

- I really like this game
- it's a good adventure tracking down the Gemstones
- from the scarce clues given..

..a really good-looking game, this one..
- well worth checking out, IMO
- in SP, it's great fun: a big map with an excellent quest element
- the multiplayer ought to be a real treat..!!

- I've totalled well over 100 hours of SP gameplay, and I am now going for the big one..

- the Diamond!! :woot:

Multiplayer will let you use a significant number of other characters (not just blue sea elves) and they include the Naja and the Succubus Queen, which you can't get as party members in the SP game.
