Firefly, your idea for a hack n slash set in such a dark, awsome universe is fantastic. I love the living world, the trench warfare, the sense of realtiy and besides a few concerns about bland combat (but those gameplay videos are a year old so those concerns aren't strong) i'm really confident this'll be a good game.
Firefly, please inform the publisher who backed out, that they are assholes. Failing that, could you give me some insight into a couple of things?
1. Is the character finalised? He looks too much like Kratos for my liking. Will there be some cool armor to get?
2. There have been confirmations that there will be no party combat, but will there be some npcs fighting alongside you for effect? Like goblins charging over a trench in the backdrop, or a couple of guys fighting off some dudes while you make an escape, or someone on an emplacment who gets shot ad you have to take over etc.
3. Deliver on your promises! Don't do a molynuex, when I play I want to see that blacksmith get the iron, make a weapon, store the weapon, get the iron and repeat.
4. Tell your marketing guy to do some more stuff!
5. Don't release it in 2011 as someone else specualted
6. Thanks for Stronghold 1 and crusader, and thats the end of my questions and off topic rambling.
