Character Creator looks good but too pretty, needs to add humps for the back, postures, scar tissues and burns, missing eyes, missing teeth and cauliflower ears in my opinion. Oh and get rid of all the emo helmet hair for blokes, just looks ridiculous, can't take anybody under one of them barnets seriously.
Edit: Just tasered Juan Lebedev unconscious in Deus Ex, Anna acts like i've executed him, I wonder if i've actually fooled them and the lad'll escape from Unatco's clutches? Never done this before, just gone the kill Anna or Lebedev route. Still think there ought to be an option to kill Paul and play along with MJ13 in the game, rather than having to side with the rebels.

The price got right today, so I picked it up
(I'm OK with platform, but tend not to be too keen on puzzle.)
Has anyone tried or played Blackguards? It's a strategy/RPG hybrid by Daedalic (Deponia, Chains of Satinav, Memoria) based on the Dark Eye RPG setting (Realms of Arkania, Drakensang). It looks very interesting both aesthetically and mechanically, and the narrative is supposed to be OK. Seems to be one of these hybrids like Expeditions: Conquistador or The Banner Saga.
I've read all sorts of comments. Basically some people like it and some hate it, but I guess that's how these games are. I've read a lot of whiny comments about the difficulty and the lack of typical "looting", but let's face it: most modern games are a steaming pile of streamlined handholding, and games that do things different are criticized (even The Witcher), so most of these "reviews" are probably worthless.
What do you think? I'd like to see it cheap on GOG soon.

Didn't play it myself, but from what I heard, there are two prerequisites for liking it: you shouldn't mind the randomness of a D20 based game - the same battle can be a piece of cake, you can get torn to shreds or anything in between depending on your luck with the dice. And you should know your way around The Dark Eye or at least another PnP system because the character system is rather complex and only superficially explained in the game.
Judging by what I know about you (or think I know), you should be good to go.

The puzzles aren't that bad.ALice Madness Returns...

I've heard only good things generally, Blackguards is definitely on my long, long list. Seems to be totally ignored by gaming press but that's hardly unusual for a good game nowadays.
It did get a bit of attention here in Germany. But that's because The Dark Eye is German and in general we seem to be the country of PC gaming and of slower paced RPG/strategy/tactical games.
Oh boy, don't get me started on all those crappy simulators... I really wish farming and forklifts were the bad part.
There's also bus driver, lumberjack, train conductor, car transport (nope, not trucker in general, just transporting cars...), excavator, camping site, aerial passenger tramway, stone quarry and god knows what else. I have no idea who the hell plays those, but they indeed are a huge success.
