I'm just going to wait and see what more comes out regarding this game and the Might & Magic lines in general.

If they're building a world and story, I'm hoping that we'll see something with some degree of RPG elements in it (but hopefully TONS of RPG elements) so that the world and story can be shown off and so that we can interact with it.

If DMoMM is in fact designed with a part-fps style, not all hope is lost for you RPG fans.

Legends of Might and Magic was originally being designed as a type of CRPG with an online component. The online component was the fps style game. Unforunately, in 3DO's infinite wisdom, they cracked down on the deadline, scrapped the single-player CRPG aspect, and released strictly as an online fps. This online fps is what LoMM is today (minus the server support which 3DO diabolically dropped after 6 terribly short months...but I digress...)

At any rate, it would not be out of the question to guess that DMoMM is being developed in a similar style, as was originally intended for LoMM. It was a very sound concept.

The original plan for LoMM was that it be a MMORPG. And as I understood it, engine limitations played a big role in the decision to scrap the original plan and the coming up with plan B. Although, as with every 3do project ever, I'm sure the money aspect was a important factor.

To say the Lithtech engine is limited is a bit of an understatement, but yes, that is fairly accurate. The MMO plans, however, were still all in first person perspective.

So, if those working on the game were to take a moment of time to write up some web content, what question would you most want to see them answer?

Mine would be focused on the RPG question: Will Dark Messiah have RPG elements, and, if so, can you give us some hints as to what they are?

Those who are here for the FPS aspect may have a different question in mind.

Yes will the HHGA be returning? I say we petition for it's inclusion in the game.

Sure HHGA sounds good... but only if they put in the Gravity Ax!

I hope more RPG too. In essence, I want a party based RPG in the Might and Magic style. I only bought two RPG series when they went gold, at full price ASAP: Might and Magic and The Elder Scrolls.

TES: Oblivion will be one character, as usual, so it would be nice to have an action RPG Might and Magic game with great old school humor and voice acted comments by and between party members.

Please Ubisoft, give us M&M VI and VII but in the new HOMM universe and storyline with much better graphics and interface.

Could we have Mihoshi back too!

I love it. I read through this and there's all this "screw FPS, it's crappy, blah blah blah." Then, finally, some people show up who support this being an FPS. I agree, I love RPGs, but I'd rather see DMoMM have some serious FPS aspects to it. Why? Simply put, because to date, Legends of Might and Magic (the game you all seem to be pissing on) is perhaps the most fun FPS I've ever played. Did the support for it suck? YES! Could it have been a better game? YES! (Enter DMoMM) So, to all you nay sayers, "Oh it's an FPS? Well then screw that! *enter random whinning and moaning here*" I suggest you wait, and try it out before you judge. Who knows, maybe this "low-brow, non thinking, twitch reflex muscle" game might actually be more fun than you think.

Im very optimistic about this I have been a fan of the Might and Magic series and am admittedly a lomm addict! I would like to see the force wand incorporated...its just neat to shoot someone and then watch them fly off a cliff:P

I don't mind if this is a FPS, or that it got the Might and Magic brand. I hope that Ubi will experiment a lot with this brand, when HoM&M got into play it was an experiment, and that turned out so cool. The biggest problem with 3DO was imo that they didn't commit to the games, and sold rushed games, it seems to me that Ubi is a lot more committed, and I really hope they will make M&M X, but there is a line in the Might and Magic brand of telling the story from different angles.

So I look forward to see what this game i all about. :-)

hmmm.. saw the clip, looked at the screens, and gogled my eyes as the scenery changed in the teaser.
intresting, it looks like a combination of fps and rpg. kinda reminds the of "theif" only its well... different. i was quite suprised with the 16+ at first, but then i saw what you can do in the game, and well, it fits, throwing people through windows, stabbing, causing people to slip to their death, would be even better if you actualy ran into their body later, down on the floor. (and of course that they didnt end up dying in the same way each time) . very "dark"
i far as i see we will be playing the dark messiah, and eventualy well free the demons from their gail. its kind of nice to have for a change a game that puts us in the "bad guys" position. hopefully it will have some more rpg options, like talking to people, and having multiple options that will affect the rest of the game, and some intresting char. leveling, not just the "*ding* im level 4 now i can use fireball!"
edit: im a bit concerned thats its another developer (than homm) since if its in the same world it should look similar too, same creatures, same factions, cities etc.

well i thought that rise and fall was going to be big but hell! this seems better than anything ive ever seen. and well i just want to say WHEN IS IT COMING OUT!?!?!?!!?! i hope it's not going to be like morrowind when you have to train on rats to get nowhere so GET IT OUT IN STORES!!!

yeah and i hope in third person he don't run like a sad git

is het een spel om aanteraden?ik speel normaal 1personshooters.

I'm Definetly buying this game
the screenshot of his hand holding the sword was just awesome

Um, just a procedural note for the admin of this site; I connected to the forum from the official Dark Messiah M&M site and caused your groupee application to have a fit.

It seems one has to create an id from the main site ...

Just thought you might like to correct that little issue before floods of people hit it ...
