  We have more than 100 spoken actors in the game
  Dark Horse has confirmed that they are working on an Age of Conan series
  there are more than 40 sliders in the character creation
  We got an MTV award nomination for our last game, and this is the kind of quality we are striving for (music)
  The Xbox 360 does not have a DX10 system, so sadly you won’t see those features there
  With Conan you can also gear things up considerably more.We are not a showcase game for nVidia and Microsoft’s Vista without reason, so if you are tech-savvy you can really get a lot out of what you have!
  
  And more from the link!!!
   
  

  I hope they will not overuse voices. Gets on my nerves.

  And as far as hardware goes, my new build will run it anyway.

  As I think they are already good story tellers, alot of the cut scenes for the quest dialogue seems to be voice acted. It can give scope for more immersion if done right I think. Plus they try to make the quests dynamic by giving you options in response to the NPC's, and you behaviour towards them has effects on how they treat you at a later date.

  The voice over for the guy in the Tromso video I think is pretty funny ^^

  I think the tech comment go's hand in hand with them saying that the game will be highly scalable so you can enjoy all the features on a high end rig, but get scope and playability on a lower end machine. As they say they are a showcase for Nvidia which means they probably want to try and get good scope on alot of Nvidia cards that support the game. (and im thinking thats Shadel Model 2 and up cards)

  In a recent beta I had brought that up as something that should be put into that game Hope FC gives this one a try, could lesson somewhat the feeling that you're doing the exact same quest route as everyone els.

  Never give up and never surrender!

  Im looking forward to more information on the "Destiny Quests" they mentioned some time ago, and how it will play out with your character.
