Sacred 2 is a game for what it is and dual-wielding swords while riding my spider mount is definitely one of the most bad-ass things I've experienced in a game in a long time, but I got bored with it... eventually.

The Bag:If you know your JRPG battle systems it's basically an 'active time' battle system. You can issue commands in real time or in a paused mode, these commands are then carried out when it's your characters 'turn' (one command per turn).

Looks like a fun project.

Foxsake: but XNA won't allow you to do the cool stuff Like what?

If you truly believe that throwing salt over your shoulder is a necessary precaution, then no, you probably won't. RedRacoon: 00din: RedRacoon:I was groping in the dark for a word to use.

RedRacoon:I was groping in the dark for a word to use. But my point was that studying in fields of science shouldn't deny the existence of a supreme deity to those who never stop at the doubt.Superstition is antithetical to science.

Fata1moose:I was wondering if you are in a country with socialized medicine how do you feel about it?  It's awesome.
