Two huge indepth Arx Previews! - Dan - 12:13:32 AM EST

Arx Fatalis anticipators, this is a moment you have been waiting for. We have two new and extensive hands-on previews of the game to show you.

The first, a TTLG exclusive, is penned by a beta tester of the game. In it, s/he explains the game's interface and how it all comes together, describing the gameplay and the systems involved in making the game work. Because this is written from a beta-testers point of view, you will also get an idea of how far along the game is to completion, as the author of the report made note of several aspects of the game which are currently under construction. It's a look at the game from the perspective of a person who went from knowing nothing about the interface, to writing the book on the interface, all with very little instruction from the developers themselves.

The second, a much shorter read, is from the Portuguese website Portal Jogos. Those who fear spoilers must beware, for this preview will detail quite a bit of what the player will experience in the start of the game. Rather then look at the interface, this preview focuses on the sights and experiences of the environment and the story.

Both previews contain screenshots snapped by the authors. Since this is the same game, there will inevitably be some favorite visuals, so there are some duplicate snapshots. Overall, you'll looking at about 50 screenshots prepared for your viewing pleasure, between the two articles. Enjoy. :)

I expect we will be seeing much more press about Arx Fatalis in the coming months. :) Oh, and hey ... do us all a favor and join in with the discussions. :)
