Is it just me or does everyone else find that melee weapons get less and less effective as the game progresses, maybe its just that I haven't gotten a very good one yet? I dont know, it just seems like either melee weapons are underpowered or ranged weapons are over powered, because almost all my ranged weapons except maybe one have splash damage making them a lot more effective than my melee weapon which can only hit one guy at a time, which also leaves me a lot more vulnerable to attacks.
To paraphrase Marx (Karl, not Groucho), a big enough quantitative difference becomes a qualitative one. By way of comparison: Sacred Odyssey gave you about twenty minutes of gameplay before you hit the pay wall. With ME, the standard version gives you, by my count, about 15 hours of gameplay -- longer than many premium titles. Basically, if you liked Necro (and I know you did), you will like ME. It takes the same aesthetic and gameplay style and improves on it in every conceivable way. Personally I was lukewarm on Ryan's first game, but I'm really enjoying this one.
Wow, I might get this game because this developer seems to really care. He has answered all of my questions very clearly. Thanks for that. I would love to support a dev like this, which is rare to find.

SZ, you're almost certainly the only person on these forums who could make me look at the above statement and actually consider it instead of balking instinctively. I'm not saying I agree, but I am considering it. That issue aside in any case, I still think this marketing model is a really bad idea. We both know the "collector's" edition won't stay at $10 forever. What happens to the standard edition then? It's hard enough to juggle one app's price around to please everyone, much less attempt to balance two. When Necro first came out I recall being involved in a discussion on Ryan's site regarding the price. Me and a couple of other posters were chiefly responsible for convincing him to lower the price at that time. No disrespect intended but I don't think he's learned much from that experience unfortunately. I've done a fair bit of research into this game on my own. Watched videos of gameplay. I know a $3.99 - $4.99 game when I see one, and this one is very much that. Full game, single price. Before I forget: am I the only one to whom the "additional" items (potions/sword) and the ability to teleport anywhere at the very start actually feel like deterrents? I don't want something that basically equates to cheats/spoilers. I like to start off weak and build up my character and uncover the world as a reward. In fact, here's what I want personally: full game without the "perks" for 4 - 5 bucks. If this ever happens I'll probably pick it up.
