extremely enjoyable. It's actually my 2nd favorite combat system ever.
What's your 1st?
Come on Jim, long and unusual names are a must... you can't quite have "Prince Dick", "Joe the White Knight" or "Mary the Priestess of Tony"! :D "Tom the Mage" is ok though ;)
It's not the length, it's the absurdity of the names that drives me up a wall. It is possible to go overboard in "medieval speak". In my example, quoted again for humorous reference:
"Making the ascension of Arrogath in the land of Blesmythson requires the blessing of Gorgonax the Blargnargian during the Time of Rhyne."
..it's all the "ancientspeak" that drives me nuts. It's like going to hell and finding out that hell is really a Renaissance Faire where everyone talks like that, badly. Am I making sense? It's like being trapped in a Robert Jordan novel. I would sooner claw my own eyes out than be forced to read 10 minutes of that unending gibberish.
No offense to those who like Robert Jordan :)
(Ironically, Wheel of Time, a game based on a Robert Jordan novel, is actually a very good game. The "ancientspeak" is thick and heavy but since it's an action adventure it's not as irritating.)
