    How are people not super excited about this game?

    Just look at this fucking combat and atmosphere.

    Look at the knife in the back of that guys neck.

    I call a mammoth, or a bear. I'd really love to set up some kind of bear cavalry.

    I would have never guessed that you would enjoy the concept of bear cavalry from your avatar or signature, good sir.

    Bear cavalry would be awesome though. I mean, who do you attack? The bear or the rider? And in that moment of indecision is when you are dashed upon the rocks.

    Yourself--that's the only way to avoid the subsequent mauling/painful death.

    I've been reading a lot of Howard lately.

    It makes me want to play this more. Probably while drunk.

    Preferably get yourself and your character drunk at the same time.

    Then have a bar fight.

    This games features sound just fantastic. I'm not sure I'm feeling the look of the game just yet though. But I've alwas wanted a PvP centric game with better combat like they are describing in Conan.

    It'll be interesting to see how it'll turn out

    The graphics seem to get better with every new video they release. Though, sometimes it does look a little bit Everquest 2-ish.

    But come on, you can't tell me that area with those statues with blood pouring out of their mouths into their hands doesn't look awesome.

    Sorry for the double post but it seemed appropriate. I would really like to make a guild/community for this game and was wondering who would be interested in collaborating with me. I'm looking for names through the penny arcade archive as we speak :P

    I was thinking of Bear Shaman or Lich, leaning on the shaman for m4d h34l1ngz.

    But, then again, Lich. Games always have Warlock, or Shadow Mage but never a true Lich.

    But, then again, just about everyone and their mums will have a lich.

    Nah, from the polls they have taken on their website, every class has about the same amount of people saying they will play it, with I think barbarian, ranger, guardian and assassin having one or two percent more.

    Remember, arcane magic in conan is evil. And you must be of the "evil" stygian race to be a spell caster. People tend to like to be the good guys, so, you won't have to worry about their being a ton of liches running about, probably.

    I've always had a Necromancer as a main character in every game that allowed the option. Liches sound nice, but I rather have my undead minions do all the work.
