yes and no. Do not forget that the engine is platform independant, so there are a lot of things that hold it down in that sense. It is possible to do everything platform independant just like you see in windows based games, but it is also a lot harder since you dont have the "easy way out" with all the pre-created windows based libraries.

The graphics might not be all that good, but other than the AAA games you see coming out soon, neither are the current games.

I haven't played ATITD yet, but now that III is coming out, I might give it a try. A fresh new world adds to my fun

Wow, I had never even heard of this game before now. It sounds facinating. So when part II was completed by the players the servers just shut down until part 3 comes out? By "completing" the game, is that something players could do in a matter of days if the servers were to be reset? Is it more problem solving oriented than grinding?

Im a tale 2 vet and currently in tale 3 beta but  hehehe as most have said the graphics are not  good at best but the immersion and the  always having something to do and the community is by far the best ive ever had the pleasure to play with ..  it is in beta guys dl the  client and give it a whirl and dont be afraid to ask questions .. imho  if you want to play a game that where what you do really counts then  play this one ..

will ATiTD3 be geared to better serve the loner? ever think of bringing 1 back and making it a single player game with interactive NPC's?
