• • interracial interactions

  • I wasn't sure if these questions were answered anywhere so thought I would ask. I read that the human race will start out allied with the dwarves and the elves, but that this status could change according to player politics.

    So, in terms of the faction hit for killing random players, do you only get an outlaw faction thing for killing players of you own race or does that include races you are allied with?

    Can you kill anyone of a non-allied race without any repercussions?

    Can guilds recruit members from a variety of races and how is it handled if those races then go to war with eachother?

    Is there anything like in other MMOs were other races speak in a language you don't understand or something like that? I wouldn't mind language being an acquired skill, just want to make sure it wasn't forced separation.

• • Darkfall's melee combat

  • I had a question on this subject. Initially I wanted to play an offensive caster who wields a sword / shield. I thought using a shield and possibly sword would raise casting time and lead to more inturruptions but that it would still be possible. What I've read, however, implies that you must carry a staff to cast offensive spells, are we not allowed to use a shield or weapon while casting?

• • What race will you play

  • Anyone else wishing there was another choice? I like to go for a smarter race rather than brawn but don't want to play the sort of weird looking fancy pants elves they have. I'll probably end up with a human but I generally don't like to play human seeing as I am one and that's not very fun...

• • 8800 Ultra or 2 9600gt video cards?

  • Just wondering, how do you know when a game supports SLI? I never know where to look to find that out.

• • Less ambiguous system requirements?

  • As someone with a somewhat dated computer, I find myself actually needing to check system requirements on games coming out. When I look however and see that it requires an Intel Pentium X or Core Two Duo and I'm sitting here with a single core AMD processor wondering how these compare. This is followed by some NVIDIA XXXX GT or something which again leaves me wondering how my NVIDIA (XXXX - 1000) GT SLI setup compares. Of course I could check on these things by surfing around the web for benchmark sites to compare the two but this not only seems like something game companies shouldn't require of users but also probably won't give that accurate of a performance indicator. This is especially the case when people OC their machines or do other unassumed things to booast performance.

    So, what I am wondering is why developers don't give more generic benchmarks that take into account a computers performance as a whole. More specifically say something like :

    Minimum: 3dMark 05 score: 10000

    Recomended: 3dMark 05 score: 12000

    or some other more concrete way of saying yes or no whether my system can handle it without requiring me to be hardware proficient.
