Absolute excellent video but as always with Richard Garriott :)

He is really such a awesome guy and i was lucky enough to meet him a few times, once when he had a tour of his house in the ultima online days, and Origin had a party for its volunteer staff :) and then this year at Syndcon.

Back when the word "Origin" didn't conjure up horrible thoughts of EA nastiness

hehe true :)

No plot, trial & error and infinite grinding and farming? Doesn't sound like Garriott.

Nah, he's going for the old school PC RPG gamer.

Baldur's Gate and Planescape are fairly mainstream. I think he's gunning for an even more old school kind of gamer. The kind of people who used to play text adventures back in the mid-80s.

From what i can tell he is going for the old rpg style combined with ultima online.

Shroud seems pretty decent so far but is of course lacking a bit under the small budget there is to make it.

It's still in pre-pre-alpha and they are building most of the engine from scratch, everything we've seen so far is little more than a placeholder.
