A few more questions.

Swiftpain

Ok after viewing some videos, and reading a bit more... And not being able to find a copy of the game at a store... I have just a few more questions.

1. This game have a fallout 3 feel to it at all?

 

2. Can you move items in the game? or is every thing stationary?

3. People say the crafting is second to none... So what makes it so good? Cause a good crafting system to me is not the amount of stuff you can make, or the different jobs it takes. I am talking about a ever quest 2 style one. Where you need to have some skill. So is this games crafted items like that at all?

4.This game have instances or something along thouse lines?

No, it does not have a Fallout 3 feel. It does carry a certain humor that the Fallout series had, but it takes itself a bit more seriously. It feels something like Fallout 1, dialog wise, although a tad more serious. Although it doesn't have a Fallout 3 feeling, Fallout 3 took itself a bit less seriously.

2. Move items? Like just go moving around things on the map? No. You can sit down on things, open doors, and use things here and there. But no, you cannot take up a job as a moving specialist.

3. The crafting is not like EQ2 or Vanguard. For the crafting you get the mats, enter the amount, and wait. It does craft while you're offline and while you do other thing. Although it's not really interactive. The big thing with the crafting is that it MEANS something. Crafters have a huge place in the game, all the best gear is, in fact, crafted. Which is really the big thing to me, not how fun the actual crafting is but that doing the task matters. You do get EXP from crafting and harvesting too.

4. There are instances, although there's no loading screen. Sometimes you wouldn't know you entered one except for the "Instance Manager" window that pops up. They're very seamless. As for raids and what not, I'm not sure. I've only two or three instances for simple quick mission stuff, nothing like a vast cavern. I have seen vast caverns, and explored them, but they were not instanced.

4. There are instances but they are small1-3 room affairs. Always a pinicle of a quest, basicly gives you and you group the freedom to complete a quest line undisturbed.

 

80% of the game dungeons are open. Still many of them are so off the beaten path you can run them almost alone with your group ie Rotter Hospital is always quiet, its just a dungeon. No quests that I know of, or reason to travel there except good scaving, tons of mobs and a fun dungeon romp.
