Another Dark Eye Game?
[edit]http://worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=59526
Nothing to do with Radon Lab's wonderful rpg and the word was its a hack and slash, this was refuted by the developers however. Anyone think this deserves a mention? Twobells (talk) 15:52, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, Demonicon is already mentioned in both Template:The Dark Eye and Chronology of computer role-playing games: Unreleased and aside from the screenshots the latter includes all known facts about it. --Noctrun (talk) 14:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Re-added Box Art
[edit]I have re-added the box art after seeking permission from both DTP & Radon Labs quoting 2.2.3 Non Free Content[Image] available for critical commentory.Twobells (talk) 17:41, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ok im assuming you uploaded File:File:511YbVSad6L.jpg. It was deleted for F6: Non-free media file with no non-free use rationale. The cover art currently being used is a different upload and is using a correct licensing and fair use. For future reference if you arfe uploading a fair use image you do not need to seek permission from the respected copyright owners. Salavat (talk) 02:12, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Are you really that dense? The OWNERS sent me a Drakensang PR package which ALREADY HAD fair use, I did not need to obtain permission, why have you interfered with this it makes no sense.Twobells (talk) 22:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think you may benefit from reading Wikipedia:Civility. Unfortunately, there is no convenient method to confirm a statement by an anonymous Wikipedia editor, so fair use licensing needs to be the base assumption here. Thank you.—RJH (talk) 01:31, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Dunno how reliable the source is, as I don't know German, but could be useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by VPeric (talk • contribs) 08:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Tangential remarks
[edit]Fantastic game; very underrated here in the U.S. To me it was the most enjoyable party-based CRPG since Baldur's Gate, and I wish it had gone on even longer. I preferred it to NWN2, and thought it on a par with The Witcher and Oblivion.
My primary issues with the game were:
- The seeming inability for party members to block the opponents from penetrating the line. This handicapped the use of defensive tactics and (to me) made combat less interesting.
- The inability to select another party member as the tactical leader. This pretty much meant that the main character needed to play a "brick" unless I micromanaged every combat to keep him out of the front ranks.

Great game. I just finished it, which is a pity, since I enjoyed it so much. If you prefer classic party-based RPGs with a decent story line and interesting characters over action-centered RPGs, Drakensang should not disappoint you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.106.118.182 (talk) 21:26, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm only a casual gamer but I do enjoy single-player fantasy games, so in light of the comments I'll definitely give this one a try. After having had my fill of Torchlight (which I loved) I'm in the mood for something different. 216.67.37.202 (talk) 11:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Drakensang: River of Time
[edit]Er, why is a citation needed for the fact that River of Time exists? I mean... it exists. That can't really be disputed. People (including myself) are playing it in various languages, from various distributors. --70.50.237.250 (talk) 19:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- No offense, but you're an anonymous poster and you can say anything. We need reliable citations so that the information is not subject to dispute. If the game exists and was available on the specified date, then a suitable citation should be available.—RJH (talk) 22:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Is it free to play? This should be mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.21.82.37 (talk) 16:03, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- It's commercial software; I added a mention. Thanks. Regards, RJH (talk) 19:01, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
