Good Poll, Metatron! I voted Pure Turn Based. What I've discovered is that even the term turn based has a slightly different expectation depending on who you ask. Look up turn based on Wikipedia and they point out the many variations of turn-based games mechanics that are out there. It has been impl...

Sanctus: Yes, you can pretty much go anywhere in the world from the very start of the game...that means you can easily encounter creatures beyond your combat ability.

This is old-school RPGing, so combat is a big part of the gameplay. But it's not hack-n-slash...E:B1 isn't a Dungeon Siege railroad venture filled with sword fodder. You can gain skills that will help you avoid combat (through stealth) and if you were careful you could get pretty far without fightin...

The interface has shrunk a bit since the last round of screenshots. Specifically, we've trimmed away the unused top and left framing. Here's an exclusive forum-only screenshot of the updated GUI.
