Pao-kai Kapow:
Dark Messiah may reward pure warriors with unprecedented levels of hacking and slicing, but when it comes to the finalboss battle with Pao-Kai, you're in for a bugger of a showdown unless you've got some projectiles. A stock of fireball scrolls, a semi-decent bow, anything that means you don't have to run around chasing the flapping sod's tail with a sword that suddenly seems worthless. It can be done, but warriors be warned- it's not much fun.
Ultima creator Richard Garriott considered a tabletop version of the pioneering open-world RPG series but isn't sure it would sell: "May be worth finding out"
The Witcher 3 director's new vampire open-world game sure sounds like it took a page from the D&D and Baldur's Gate playbook: "Sometimes it feels like playing a paper RPG"
