Careful, Molyneux....you´ll attract the wrath of starcraft with anything less than a 9.9 :P

I will get VERY violent if this game isn't fantastic.

 

 

I hope it is. I plan on buying it and playing it. But if I was to bet, I am on the fence. An RPG without a HUD is risky. No one yet has done it well, and that's because most RPG fans are stat freaks. We want to see where our health is, how much mana we have left, etc...

If you remove those and use visual clues, you lose a lot. The first thing you usually lose, is fidelity. You have something like 4 or 5 states of health. This means you need to tone down the fighting a bit so the user can take advantage. In the end, you end up making the game too easy (or too hard).

He might pull, but I have my doubts. Let's hope he does.
