Sadly there's no significant push for DM client support, though its theoretically possible via scripting. And it only supports something like 6 players.

Looks like a pretty cool game though. Co-op CRPGs are definitely filling ALFA's "RP with friends" niche.

I wasnt suggesting it as an alternative to NWN2, just as a good single player experience to kill some time when its too dark to go outside to do anything worth doing.

Its good old fashioned RPG fun, a nice alternative Id imagine for people not wanting to wallow in the self pity and loneliness of logging into an empty ALFA server.

So... to get away from the "wallowing in self pity" caused by playing a game alone, we should... play a game alone.

pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

I played the beta a couple months ago and really enjoyed it. I take it the full game is released now? I should probably download my copy...

It's on my wishlist, but since I always have to pick up two copies with games like this, I'll wait for the inevitable steam or gog sale.

Anyone knows how long it is?
(What level you get to at end game? How many "screens"/"main areas" are there? Hours?)

Im nearing completion of the second main area and am level 16. I read that you can get to level 23 or so, so I cant imagine many more. There was another large screen in there, but I wouldnt count it as a main screen I dont think.

Ah, that mine was nice. Took me a long while to figure that one out.
On the down side it may have cost me a few points on the paper I had to submit today, which for some reason did not get the attention it deserved...
But it was fun.
If it's not that much longer I may trouble myself to finish it over the weekend or something.
Silly good fun. Kinda like a slightly more elaborated neverwinter with an enjoyable combat system.

When I played this game last I ran into a troll named Rumple guarding a bridge while demanding a troll toll.
