    As the sun goes down on another action-packed day in Terminus, we often ask ourselves what adventures tomorrow will bri....oh look, a Griffon!

    Very nice.  The plate is making me jealous since I hadn't been planning on a plate class.  Lol.

    Looks like stills from a movie!  We're going to have a lot of fun adventuring in Terminus!

    I have a feeling I will be taking a whole lot of screenshots when were finally able to play this game :D

    The sunset makes the ruins look very nice :) Is that griffon an actual mob that could be fought? :)

    Forget the griffon! Come on! We need to move/get ready for what comes out at night; never mind the day. ;)

    I am with you there, I had to buy a new external harddrive to fit all of mine in (plus preparation for testing/launch screenshots lol)

    Yes, if you don't find one of them, they will find you ;)

    Kilsin is such a tease! We want in already! We're completely fine with just 2-3 zones ready for testing :P

    Great shots. Is the answer to the OP "pre alpha"?

    1st pic: "just below that Griffon...yep that is where I hid your corpse"

    2nd pic:  I am seeing a purple aura and then an aura of glyphs.   regarding mitigating those, is it a single worn slot to mitigate that requires you to toggle around  or will it be buffs as well that can help mitigate those?

    3rd pic: The hills on the right in the distance look to have less flora/trees/snow cover.. is that related to the draw distance of those items or is that the intended view?

    4th pic:  reminds me of the hobbits at weathertop and Frodo running in and stomping out the flames because it gives their position away to the nazguls!

     

    Enjoying the teasers!!

    Haha.  I was thinking that, too.  It seems like more than just a random thread title...plus they just announced that they added a Lead Tester to the team.  I'm going to assume that this is just wishful thinking, though, and maintain in my head that we have a few more months to go before pre-alpha.  If it happens anytime sooner, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Just ridiculously awesome screenshots. This game is gonna be so badass! Just wow..........

     

    P.S. I would totally shoot down the griffon! Why? Because I must kill all of the things!!!!

    I remember many months ago over on the subreddit for Pantheon someone expressed concern over Unity's graphical abilities. That the engine would make the game look dated.

    I think its safe to say that is not a concern. 

    These shots are making me antsy. Everything looks so amazing and BIG. I really didn't think that the zone sizes would be that large but from the looks of everything they seem huge. I love it.

    Can't wait to run my Halfling Ranger into some deep cave headlong into danger.

    Bring that griffin down! It would be cool to have Z-Axis combat like Zelda where you could lock onto a target and fire your bow or spells at it. (Skyrim style would be far too difficult imo)

    But that would make venturing through ruins like this so awesome, knowing that someone could start raining arrows down at your head, or all of a sudden a fireball wooshes by your head and you don't know where it came from! Of course, aggro and trains might be an issue lol

    Yes!  Trains from three dimensions, please!

    The answer better be Pre-Alpha, Kilsin!

    Impressive. The scale and composition are spot on Kilsin. Exhilarating and awe inspiring. Everytime there's another set of screen shots I seriously get more pulled into the sense that I very much want to be there.

     

    Great job VR. Keep on pushing it out!

    Why is the terrain so lumpy? I don't see that very often in the wild... Maybe it's an ancient construction dumping zone.
