I will also warn you about the spoilers. Stay away from that guide unless you are stuck.

Nice guide--but I saw nothing about any kind of party structure in the SP campaign. Is it strictly first-person, one character? Not even any joinable NPCs?

First-person, single-character, and no joinable NPC as far as I know (but I didn't get my copy of the game yet). It ain't a Might and Magic RPG.
I'm on Steam and Xbox Live.

Too bad, but time moves on, I guess. Still-- looks like a game with a lot of effort put into it that could be quite good. Thanks for the info.

Gamespot just gave this game a "6.7", and the only GOOD: "Good death animations". That was pretty harsh, considering that a lot of people gave it a very high score. Whatever, I going to get me a copy now.

Interesting read. Of course, I skipped most of the tips in search of the story spoilers, but I only managed to find out things that were obvious from the beginning...

And here I was thinking Gamespot was DM's biggest fan with the amount of coverage it gave it. It usually gave it big wraps. I'm confused.
