Wonder how it handles Sandevistan? Does time slow down for everyone? Do only NPC’s slow down?

But only during the brief moments between feature-film-length loading screens.

Yep, never heard of it until just now. A quick trip to youtube for gameplay vids makes the first 15 minutes look pretty good though. The gameplay would totally get repetitive fast, and the vid I watched didn’t get into the skill trees. If the level up mechanics give you more spells to choose from, rather than just increasing the numbers for the 3 spells you start with, I think the game has potential. Right now, it seems like something I would like to try first and maybe buy a physical copy that can’t be disabled when some corporate licensing deal falls apart (and make backups of the installer).
