From what I've been reading, Salvatore is responsible for large portions of the story. I can only assume from looking at videos and screenshots that McFarlane was initimately involved in the artistic direction - the oversized weapons, the bright, comic-book colors, etc.

I pre-ordered it last Wednesday.

Salvatore's Drizzt Do'Urden books were my bible as a child. I follow him on Facebook and he's pimping the demo. I'd assume his hands are deep in this, and will probably inspire me to ahead and get it.

If you pre-order at Gamestop you get a whole bunch of DLC - like 9 fate-touched weapons, 3 sets of armor, other stuff.

I think other retailers are doing the same but I liked what Gamestop had.

The big thing about this vs. others (like Fable 3) is that they're giving DLC that is useful for ALL character types.

I pre-ordered Fable 3 and got a free DLC hammer. Of course, I decided I liked swords better and that hammer never got used.

Played the demo. Seemed pretty cool. Had the simple feel of a Diablo type game, but the more you progressed the more it got involved. Kind of cartoony. The story seemed interesting enough. I'll pick it up eventually.

Hopefully it's not the linear POS that fable was, hated that game.

Here's another interesting tidbit - 38 Studios is owned by Curt Schilling...
