The biggest foreseeable problem for this game is the same problem any German product faces: localization. It is worrying that developer Radon Labs hasn't shown any active interest in the English-speaking market so far. On the other hand, their publisher Anaconda is a pretty large publishing house with a not-bad reputation in international publishing (they recently published Legend: Hand of God). In this RPG-starved time, it's time for a lot of RPG players to stretch their necks and watch the European market. However, Drakensang doesn't seem to be offering much beyond its great setting and RPG system, taking a somewhat uninspired approach towards combat and dialogue. This game is clearly one to watch, but without a clear impression of dialogue or quests I can't really endorse it blindly. Will it live up to the originals in writing and plot at least? If it does, this might end-up a must-have for RPG fans. If it disappoints in that area, it's not really offering much to please anyone, though it might still be something you might want to try in this time of few RPGs.
