A strange thing I saw in the gameplay video: when the player clicked the "ranged attack" button ALL party members concurrently make a ranged attack (shoot arrows) - no matter if it's their turn or not. I find that strange, because I expected that only 1 character at a time may attack...
Strangely enough when clicking the "melee attack" only the specified character fight - as I expected. But the ranged attack is strange. It also makes me wonder if it's worth to specialize any party member in archery if archery is automatically used by everyone with this weird triple attack.

Have you ever played one of the old Might & Magic games?

M&M 3 and World of Xeen had the very same mechanic as far as ranged attacks went.
I do recall that if you casted at spell at range you could not attack ranged IIRC.
From M&M 6 to the royal clusterfuck of M&M IX you had to chose individually (if phase/turn based) or just hold down the A-wesome buttan to have a quasi-volley of arrows in RT

No problem, M&M games are a blast if you dig their charm.
While graphically I tend to think they have aged very well, I can understand why for some people of a younger gaming persuasion could be off putting.
I could suggest you to play the whole series starting from M&M I while you wait for M&M X to come out, but I won't.

My god. Codex is happy to read something said by a "AAA" publisher... Someone find me my coat, hell has frozen over.
(Please, please, PLEASE don't fuck this up. After all that incline, if I fall I will surely die. Goddamit Ubisoft.)

Dude. Kickstarter is pure PR.
I've pledged w2, eternity, torment and divinity. All made by people with a proven trackrecord and a good investment I think. If none of those deliver then I'll buy an amiga and forget the last 20 years in gaming ever happened. And yes they're asking money for a pitch I believe in. These guys I don't believe yet, it sounds so pr. Let them back it up with a good game first.

You're an elitist asshole, Jason. What does the join date have to do with anything?
It's linked to WIS and INT.

Just putting this here:
I joined RPGCodex back in 2002/2003, after the VNArcanum boards went belly-up. I have several abandoned accounts over the years because I can never remember the passwords and RPGCodex has a terrible retrieval system. So joindate isn't always very useful (besides the more obvious point that judging someone based on their incredibly retarded arguments is evidence enough).

Jaesun must have started really fucking low.
and Lady Error: He always uses this "argument", get used to it.
I feel very sad that I can't use Join Date against most dumbfuck newfags. 
You know, I've been playing all the popamole RPG's for so long now that I almost can't remember what it's like to play a REAL computer role-playing game. The closest I've come was to try firing up a copy of M&M IX that I had sitting around which I actually enjoyed for a while -- that's how bad things have been.
Then it seems like from out of nowhere, an almost miracle-sounding game like Legacy appears. We've also had the pleasure of tinkering around with Cleve's demo recently. There's so many other great-sounding games on the horizon that like others have said it just sounds too good to be true.
Honestly, I don't care if there are no level trainers in Legacy. I don't care if there's only going to be about 25 hours worth of gameplay. I literally feel like I've been a man in a vast desert, lost and wandering for years, and finally I've somehow stumbled into a beautiful oasis. Dear God, thank you. Finally, saved... ...or is the whole thing just a mirage?
You know what? I don't even care if that's true. You'll find me dead trying to drink sand then.

Honestly, it feels awesome that a new Might and Magic game is coming just as I started to get into the franchise. I have a lot of memories of watching my brothers play 6 and 7 back in the day. For me, I only just started really getting into RPGs in the past year, and the incline coming now just seems a bit surreal to me. Everything is not shit, maybe.

It's okay, just stay around for, I don't know, eight years or so and you too will be a sagacious quality poster who everyone really respects and likes.
Just like me.
huh, i thought you left or something.
