The only time that you can mouselook around you is when you sit down to rest. At any other time, the only way to check if anyone is sneaking up on you is to turn and look.

This is not all, though. If you happen to be a tall guy, like my ork, and you’re fighting someone shorter, like a goblin, you have to aim DOWN at the little fucker while he runs figure eights around you, which means that you have even less awareness of your surroundings.

You don’t get a big ass name on your head, so it’s quite possible to hide behind trees and rocks (not like in other games where some poor sap is trying to ambush you from behind a tree and you can see the end bits of his <really, really, really long guild name right here> tag sticking on the sides.

People and monsters aren’t particularly visible. It’s quite realistic in this sense. If you don’t know that they are there you really have to look.

Oh no!... I'm actually... liking what I'm reading here. Please don't let it be true, I'm sick of being disappointed by MMOs, WHO/WAR being the latest.

The stealth system is exactly how I'd want it to be. I've always found retarded that you could spot an enemy miles away and hiding behind foliage or rocks was just an exercise in frustration in any other MMO except EQ.

Please let this game be a big bag of fail like the rest of 'em so I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get my hopes up just to have 'em crushed by some asshole devs who felt like hyping their shitty product (HELLO MR. MARK JACOBS SIR).

This game does have an almost frustrating level of potential. Everything about this game seems to be logical and intelligently designed, and that just cant happen. Nobody can actually make an MMO with this sort of flawless execution. Something terrible will happen to this game and confirm Giiizmo's disapointment and relieve my frustration.

I liked this series of articles, but the problem with MMO's, moreso than most games, is that you dont really know if you like them unless you play them. Someone describing an MMO to me or reading about it lets me know if its too terribly buggy and what the feature set is but thats about it. DF is just gonna be one of those "hafta try it" kind of games. And I am looking forward to trying it.

I wonder how much they are letting the noob folks say bad about the game. All of that shit seems a bit lacking in info and while most of it is positive it's not really like all "OMFG GOD GUYS THIS IS TEH BESTEST" either. I really wish there was more press on this game. Fuck it's been in development for over 9000 years and that is the best info we can get srsly?!

They don't let dickheads like us in betas.
