I hope you don't mind. But do you guys mind posting screenshots? This game sounds mighty interesting

I tried the demo and last night, granted I only played for about half an hour bur meh, didn't do too much for me.

Can you only play in third person, over the shoulder view, if so that kills the game for me I'm afraid.

Yes, I do mind it! Now stop pestering me!

I thought about it, have to install Fraps or something, my HDD died just two days before release and I'm running on a very old 80GB Maxtor where I just installed Windows 7 and Steam with a few games until I get a replacement for my broken HDD. I'll see to it and then post some screenshots.

I think it's only over the shoulder view, yes, personally I prefer that anyway, too bad that you seem to be the opposite.

Back to Fallout 3 with swords for you.

Try this on for size.

Most of them are pretty weird and staged, that one guy who is fighting an ash beast with a machete is most likely going to die after getting hit once.

I've got way better equipment and that beast killed me with two or three hits, so do not try this at home...

Ok, here goes, though I'd say they're not doing the graphics justice as it looks better in motion IMO, but that goes for most screenshots.

Btw, they're huge, they will fit your screen AND look better if you use Opera and click "Fit to Width", I could resize them of course but I like to show it the way it is, maybe I'd do that on popular request.
