Big Shadowbane Update

Well it’s been a busy day over at the Shadowbane page, proving to the disbelievers that yes, there is someone awake at the helm. The game picked up some new hardware (in a cyberland sorta way) by being awarded Best of Show, as a MMORPG, 2002 by RPGDot. Other winners were : Neverwinter Nights, as Best Multiplayer RPG; Icewind Dale 2, Best Fantasy 1st Runner-up.

You can see the full list of awards by RPGDot here.

Now then, back to Shadowbane. First up, is a report from Izlaar from Shadowbane Warcry. A snippet:


    After unleashing my questions on Ashen I went over to Warden’s demo station where he was giving one of his beloved E3 demos. He had quite a crowd around him since he was walking around a burning city with a Half-Giant Barbarian, occasionally doing battle with a Shade Assassin that was roughly half his character’s size.

Ok, I’m interested in the game again :). The full report is here, and the pictures page is here.

Now we have quite a few screenshots floating around out there. SB Warcry nabbed two, one of which is the city burning down! That can be found here. While the other is here. Unknown Player also has two, which are here and here.

Baelish at Shadowbane Realms also has a page for five pictures, but at this time the links are broken for me. You may want to check this page again later (unless it’s just me… 🙁 )

Next up, Shadowbane Realms has two articles on Certa’s initial impressions and the user interface.

Lastly! IGN PC’s editor Steve Butts wrote an article on the roleplay aspects of Shadowbane. Check it out here. This was accompanied by the release of four new stories of Shadowbane Lore. The stories are linked and are a history of the world, and it start’s here with teh story of The Age of Kings.
