While parts 6 thru 8 were great RPG's, but lacked with grafx, this ninth game will use the LithTech engine (just like the good looking Legend of MM) and hopefully combines great grafx with great gameplay: The new dialogue system will take a page from RPGs like Baldur's Gate with branching conversations. A new class system will stress flexibility throughout your characters' careers. There are might classes (paladins, rangers, crusaders, mercenaries) and magic classes (mages, druids, liches, priests) and you'll be able to change your class as you play. The spell system will be more flexible by opening spellcasting to more classes. Skills will have specific and unique functions for each class to differentiate characters as they get more powerful. The combat system won't change much, offering real time or turn-based modes depending on the player preference. Lang says the LithTech engine will allow combat to be a little more "action oriented" this time around. The preview features 3 artworks from the game as well... thanks Bob :)
