    Well, this may just be a classic case of screenshots not doing justice, but I can't say I'm overly impressed with the graphics in those pictures.

    There are no stat blocks, unfortunately, for the characters, so I guess there is still not much on how faithful the game is to the D&D rules. But it's also cool to know that you can play a half-drow.

    I agree with Splunge. I hope that the screenshots don't reflect the entire game's graphics.

    The screenshots are from the PS2 version of the game. It looks much better in action, actually.

    It seems to me more like you will play a half-drow, regardless of your preference. You will be playing these three characters and none other. I don't think this is my cup of tea, Earl Gray or otherwise. :D

    At first glance, it seems it would be awful to be able to play only predefined characters and none other. I mean, playing a character is, at least in theory, the essence of RPG, so one should be able to direct any given player character much like the DM directs NPCs, but I still prefer to have my own character. Still, it might be a refreshing experience to play a given character created totally out of my control, with a specific personality, history and agenda - on condition they are really all there and are done well, instead of someone simply rolling your character and naming it for you.

    As the game is supposed to be Action RPG, it might actually be a good idea.

    The characters sound quite interesting, so I'd quite like to see how they develop.

    Although I do agree with Chev about making your own character.
