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...

The beta is available now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity/posts/957143

hooray!!!. looking forward to this more than waste Land 2 to be honest ( backed both to the physical tiers)

One question: Will game going to have the infinite respwan indoors same as baldur's gate?
Thats is the reason that i turned down the game.

Got the email that the beta is available right when I'm off to work. #$&%#$&#%&$%*(*
Hope it downloads fast and I'm able to play right after.

Wow im one up on you. Got my key and downloading (albeit have drop out problems on the ****ing broadband) :P

Got it DLed and ready to go. Just need to finish up a couple things around the house and I'll be ready to fire it up.

Screw u guys living on the other, correct side of the globe. :)

On the downside im off work for two weeks (since they dont have work for me...argh)...upside i have plenty time to play games ;)

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.
