The common frame of reference for if your computer can handle it is can it handle Oblivion. You don't need a speed demon just something that has a decent processor.

Of course the slower the machine the less eye candy, but from what I have seen and heard, you will be able to adjust accordingly.

I'm running off a 5 year old machine anyway.
I WANT all the eye candy!
It looks really good though. Reminds me of Ultima Online just a bit... Only better, much better.

Well the only bonus of Vista is the newer Direct X, I dont think XP supports 10 does it? ANyways, Direct X 10 is supposed to be super duper...but vista itself sucks cows.

That'd be the major drawback of XP atm. I don't like that; but I'll live with Direct X 9 over what I'll still consider a PoS OS. Others like it, I understand, but they really did manage to bungle up a lot of that needlessly where the XP set-ups were working just fine.

That said if they do let this run on XP, like a few other mmorpgs are trying to do, I'll likely try out a Trial of it at the very least after the Beta/Launch craze has passed.

Luckily there does look to be enough happening with Conan to be able to say it isn't just another 'System clone' with 'incert franchise skin here' in it.

One thing I've been wondering, but haven't really looked into, is have the approached Arnold for any in game voicing or looked at his two Conan movies for development ideas or quest story arcs?

Well character customization alone made me fall in love with the game. I can make a character that does not have four pre made faces to choose from like wow and six types of facial hair to cover it. If I want I can have a black eye and a broken nose or scars all over the place. Knowing my character is a one of a kind will make rp a lot smoother. Just like the feel SWG gave me way back when.

I'll have to fess up that I haven't actually read any of Howard's pieces on Conan. But I did find many of the interviews where he talked about how Conan spoke to him to be very entertaining. Often if taken at face value it makes him sound crazy; I'll let the reader do the research on the ones I'm talking about.

However, and I do agree and think the setting stands a little apart from other fantasy is how gritty this world is that Howard created. If they stick to that I don't guess it'll fall prey to the typical dragons and fairies play of other mmorpg settings.

If this turns out as well as I think it will despite not being a real 'fan' of the setting I would venture this company might do well with a Dune mmorpg somewhere down the road. Just to throw a hypothetical out there today.
