<a href="http://www.gaminghorizon.com/">Gaming Horizon</a> has gotten their hands on a build of <A href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/dsloa.aspx">Legend of Aranna</a> and as you'd guess, they did a <a href="http://previews.gaminghorizon.com/media/0,100,72,341,1,800.html">preview</a> of the title, listing some of the new features. Here's one on automatic stuff, which seems to be the main theme of the new version:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Each player in the game has their own voice-over acknowledgements (don?t worry, it?s optional if you don?t like it), and can be told to perform an attack in the area to which you send them. All you?ll need to do is hold the shift key, and they?ll run on over and attack the nearest bad guy. What?s even better is that if there aren?t any enemies but there are a lot of treasure containers, the same action can be used to send all your companions over to bust open the closest containers and collect for your team. And, by using the new World Map, you?ll be able to easily follow where you?ve been, and what new locations you?ve uncovered. The map will give you a real appreciation for how far you?ve gone, and just how much arse you?ve kicked.</blockquote>

<i>Now with <b>ph4t l3wt</b> harvesting!</i>
<br>
<br>
Is this really such a good idea though? If you don't manually harvest the loot, don't you still have to dig through your inventory to know what's been harvested?
