This game just keeps sounding better and better everytime I look at one of these looks.
The Mahirim seem like werewolves; well,their 'Ghost Claw' weapon does,anyway. And with 6 different tribes.....PvP in-between rivalling Mahirim tribes (?),one tribe encouraging the killing of other Mahirim purposefully......sounds awesome.
"You can forget about your dragons and your gargantuas, the second most dangerous thing in the world is a Mahirim raiding party. They are fast, agile and strong, and they fight with the ferocity and cunning of born predators. What? Well, the most dangerous thing in the world is clearly an angry Dwarf. Which is why you should shut up and buy me a beer." - Iarlgrim Snowshield, Dwarf from Ymir's Tear
I don't think the beta is comin at least until after two more ign peeks, where they introduce or show screens of the two remaining races: Mirdian and Alfar. Anyway, it isn't Q4 2006 yet, so patience never hurt anyone
On topic - I think the thing that I like most of all about darkfall, more than any of their amazing pvp concepts, sandbox ideas, mount combat or twitch combat, is the Mahirim and Alfar. The fact that these two races stray, even if only a little bit, from the laundry-wash, run of the mill orks humans and elves of every other game makes me happy. Plus wolves are just cool.

Good point there. Nice to see some interesting new character makes. I especially like the 'Ghost Claw' weapons they've given the Mahirim. (they are the unique weapon of the Mahirim btw. You can steal them of course. )
Well they havent promised us beta this year, so it probably won't be this year, hopefully early 2007. Their own internal target is this year yes, but up till now they haven't been able to live up to any published dates. whenever they said a date it has usually been 1-2 years delayed.
