DreadMoth: I think I heard a sound from Neverwinter Nights (healing potion?) at 6:54 :P

Looks good
Some of the icon graphics and the move icon look similar to Infinity Engine games. :)
BETA should be hitting anytime now, waiting for their email.

Yeah. Lots of details remind me of Temple of Elemental Evil as well - the blue rings around characters, round icon for doors and area transitions, character animations...

Just read that no XP will be given to killing enemies, only through completing quests.

Very good, how many times you can get experience from killing another goblin.

I'm not sure though, I prefer having XP after killing enemies. Makes it rewarding somewhat. Now I just feel like stealthing or talking my way out of repetitive engagements.

Yeah I don't like that either, seeing as it makes the game extremely "narrative-driven", ie you need to progress the story to progress your characters. I like the freedom to search out every look and cranny to kill all the monsters, or just plain grind on respawning creatures so you can become as powerful as you like.

Also, just my opinion but killing a monster and then not getting any XP just feels wrong, like the game isn't rewarding you for something it should be, makes combat feel less meaningful.
