Shadow Empires : Realm of the Unseen Preview

Post by Joel » Thu Feb 02, 2006 7:42 pm

OK, some people told me that posting new screenshots wasn't enough.
So here is a small list of what to expect :

Character classes :
* Seven all new character classes using 10 shared Feats/Skills and 5 class-specific Talents.
* Each class can use the Cube for class-specific purposes, from cubing new arrow items for Caelmara to summoning Lesser Demons for the Shadow Priest.

Skills :
* Beside shared skills and class-specific talents, each char has access to 240 new skills, split into five magic domains : Arcane - Combat - Divine - Shadow - Nature. To use those, collect Skill Runes and equip them.
* To boost your Skill Runes power, grab armor pieces or weapons with bonus to domain skills.
* New skill concepts : Totem are wards that affect all nearby units, whether enemy or allied. Channel spells impart their effects as long as you stand still and keep casting the spell. New summoning skills featuring new skills and new AI :)

Items :
* Players can equip torso, helm, shield and weapon items.
* All items can be SALVAGED into basic components. Those components can be later cubed with armor or weapon BLUEPRINTS to output specific items.
* Unique BLUEPRINTS exist and require even rarer components to be crafted.

Quests, maps and all :
* Level progression goes from lvl 1 @ act 1 to level 75 @ act 5 NORMAL, adding up to five new acts with completely new maps.
* Once you have completed the main story, you'll be able to acces side quests and explore new, random locations and complete random quests.

More to come soon :)
Also take a look at my album for screenshots. Feel free to ask about new features too :)

(Laz edit: cleaned up :twisted: )

8-O waow so different from the beta! I love the idea of the shared skills and magic domains :)

I'm waiting for your mod to play Diablo again :) (if we can say that your mod is still diablo 2 ^^)

Long time, no posts!!! I was just wondering what the progress was on this mod. I know that this is an extremely large undertaking and probably will not be completed for quite some time now, even though it's been in progress for awhile. On a more predictable note, what's the estimated download size? This thing must be HUGE with all the new graphics it adds!

Better check my album for latest stuff.

for the size, well, currently, with 50-60% of the contents, it's over 450Mb -- not counting the optionnal 120Mb of new music. :twisted:

EDIT: It's very embarrassing to admit I used to read a certain manga. :oops:
