Darkfall Online Preview

The Armchair Empire has put together a preview of Darkfall Online, the upcoming fantasy MMORPG from Razorwax. Check it out:

While things are fairly open-ended in terms of character development, the game is a lot more concrete in how it presents the various races of Darkfall. With a total of six to choose from, players can be a human, a dwarf, a mirdain (an elf-looking race), ork, mahirim (wolf-like beings), or alfar. These races don’t exactly get along well, so expect some tension depending who you play as, and depending who you meet. Generally, humans, dwarves, and mirdain get along well, but they can’t stand the marhirim, and the ork, though these two races are quite chummy. Then there is the alfar who pretty much hate everybody, and everyone hates them too.
