Anyone played Dark Messiah yet?

I was going to get this until I heard about the bugs/glitches when on high graphics and the lack of upgrades/different combat situations. I enjoyed the demo but apparently its near enough the same thing over and over throughout the game.

Hack n' Slash ftw.

Im debating with myself whether or not to get this or NWN2...
 
Just been messing about in the demo. Downloaded it yesterday, all 1.4Gig of it:p

Very impressed so far. Discovered most of the tricks by mistake. The flaming arrows was a surprise. I just readied my bow while standing near a torch, then discovered the arrow-head was blazing away, so I fired it at an Orc that was patrolling along a ledge, suddenly he burst into flames, ran about screaming for a couple of secs then dived headlong off the ledge into the canyon below.

Brilliant stuff. DMoM&M is deffo on my shopping list;)
 
Played the demo for about an hour and a half lol trying out all the ways to kill the guys. Might ask for this one for christmas. The only thing I wish they did was allow you to dice the hell out of the body once the enemy is dead. I wonder if further into the game you have cooler combos? The demo should have included a few spells to test out as well.
 
Well, I completed the demo. Found the best way to kill the Orcs in the canyon was to use a flaming arrow from across the other side. You can go across in the cable car thing, entice them out, then run like hell back to the cable car, scoot across the canyon and pick 'em off from the other side. Shooting one or two of the ropes and chains will set off traps and you can kill one or two in one go (if yer clever).;)
 
I have now figured out how to mod the demo so that you can use all spells, have god mode and noclipping to fight the huge ogre thing at the end and i'm loving it :) I can also spawn monsters now so that I can just kill a whole bunch. The only downside of this is that it creates some major lag that i'm trying to figure out how to reduce
 
Ooooh:D Is there a fly mode**? Come on GTDH, spill the beans:p and I'll send you my last remaining AMD badge FOC :p :D

Strangely enough, I don't get to fight the Cyclops at the end. I get to his cave, then a video runs, where it comes towards you and growls at you:(

**I wanna fly about in the canyon and get onto the other bridges and ledges.
 
yes there is no clipping mode which allows you to fly to the cyclops' cave without having the video run. It takes awhile, but he will finally die. I will tell you how to do it tomorrow as it is 4:01am and I want to make it as easy as possible :)
 
eek sorry an all that, but I`m not impressed by the game >.<

So many years ago it might`ve been good.

Need to try TW:ME2.

OMFG! Please tell...............
 
Ok I feel a little bit better now after getting some sleep. After hours of sifting through 11 pages of a forum trying to make sense of it all, I finally understand it and am now going to share with you all:

1) Once the demo is downloaded, go to "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Demo\mm\cfg"

2) Now go to tools at the top of the window > folder options > view and scroll down until you see hide extensions for know file types. Uncheck it and hit ok.

3) Now, still in the cfg folder right click > new > text document and name it somewhere along the lines of myconfig.cfg

note: Once this file is created, look at the name, if it is myconfig.cfg.txt then you will be able to edit it. If it says myconfig.cfg than u will need to put the .txt on the end to edit.

4) Now once the file has been created, open it up so that you can edit it and paste this:

sv_cheats 1 //enable cheats

con_notifytime 20 //increases the amount of time feedback text displays before vanishing (default: 8)

con_enable 1 //supposed to enable the console

bind "~" "toggle console" //supposed to toggle the console

bind "F1" "mm_npc_create_orc_sword_shield"

bind "F2" "mm_npc_create_necro_guard_bow"

bind "F3" "mm_npc_create_wizard"

bind "\" "exec myconfig.cfg" //reload config file for when alt+tabbing and editing in real time

bind "/" "map_warrior e3_l06_l09" //reload the map from scratch

bind "[" "mm_player_add_skillpoints 1" //Gives you 1 Skill Point

bind "]" "mm_player_add_adrenaline 200" //Fills two adrenaline bars

bind ";" "give weapon_bow_poison"

bind "'" "toggle console" //supposed to toggle the console

bind "g" "god" //god mode (you take no damage, alternative is buddha, where you take damage but never die)

g_ragdoll_maxcount 200 //You will only see 200 ragdoll entities at a time.

arrow_always_stick 1 //Does exactly what it says!

arrow_stick_on_npc 1 //Does exactly what it says!

arrow_unlimited 1 //arrows never deplete

mm_player_stamina_megasprint_cost_per_second 0 //sprinting does not cost fatigue

bind "t" "give weapon_arx_quiver_infinity"

bind "r" "listmodels" //list all models currently in use on the map

bind "h" "toggle console" //supposed to toggle the console

bind "j" "give weapon_arx_daggers_shadow"

bind "k" "give weapon_arx_daggers_polar"

bind "l" "condump" //save everything that has been displayed in the console window to a text file (condumpXXX.txt in the root game folder)

arxmagic_arcade 1 //not a clue, sounded interesting

arxmagic_apply_mana_cost 0 //spells do not cost mana to cast

mm_stealth_invisible 1 //when all four sections of stealth indicator are lit player is completely invinsible

mm_stealth_almost_invisible 1 //same as above but for lower concealment amount on indicator

mm_player_skills_grosbill 1 //gives all skills/spells

5) Save this and close

6) Now rename the file to myconfig.cfg

This changes it from an editable text file to a config file. If you ever need to edit the information just slap .txt on the end and you can.

If a message pops up saying that it might be unstable just click yes.

7) Next go to the shortcut for the demo, this can be found on the start menu:

all programs > Ubisoft > demo. Once you see the short cut, right click on it and select properties

8) Click on the shortcut tab and in the target box you will see this :

"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Demo\mm.exe"

9) To get the modifications to work you must add this to the end of what is in the target box already:

-novid +map_background none +map_warrior e3_l06_l09 +exec myconfig.cfg

note: it goes after the quotes

10) Hit OK

Now I'm pretty sure that this should work for you guys, but if you have any questions or need help just let me know.

IMPORTANT:

To get the spells that you want, when the level is started push the TAB button click on the magic tab that is on the left and you DRAG the spells you want onto the action bar. (even if it says not available in demo)

A few of the most used commands:

pushing "g" will give you god mode

pushing "n" will enable noclipping mode which allows you to fly through walls

pushing " ] " will give you full adrenaline

pushing f1 will spawn an orc

pushing f2 will spawn a black warrior bowman

pushing f3 will spawn a wizard guy

Note: The only problem with doing this is that it creates some monster lag if you use the spells and spawn guys like there is no tomorrow.

To reduce this, only put spells that you are going to use on the action bar. Fireball seems to lag quite a bit so I suggest staying away from it.

To get to the big cyclops guy at the very end that you've been dying to kill:

push " n " to enable noclipping mode, fly through the map to the end (or just play your way through and before you walk down the path push " n " and fly through the wall) to the cyclops' chamber. He will be standing further back you can't miss him lol.

It takes quite awhile to kill him but it can be done

:D Now go have some fun :D

solution: get a very powerful PC, rendering more than a few models like that will hammer most high end systems. i wouldnt mind playing this but my internet is too slow to DL it in less than a few days
 
Went to try it on a friend's computer. :D

This is AWESOME!

Just... the game can run pretty good at almost max settings @ 1024 x 768 (6600GT 256MB), but with the new add ons it's slow at min settings @ 1024 x 768! WTF?
