I imagine the RPG factor will play a great part in the Campaign Mode, especially if you actually create a character from scratch, as was the case in SpellForce: The Order of Dawn. How impressive this is, however, depends on how much RPG you actually get. One of the unique aspects of SpellForce 3 is the addition of RPG elements to an otherwise Real-time Strategy game. If you want to try it out without giving another living, breathing person the chance to pwn you, you can select Multiplayer / LAN, then choose to Host a game and fill the other players with A.I. Mind you, while the only mode available is Multiplayer Mode, that doesn't mean you have to play against other people. The voice clips I've heard in SpellForce 3 are well done and in character, but, as of this writing, the Campaign Mode is not available and you can only play as the Goblins/Orcs, so how lines more elaborate than "Death!" and "Kill them All!" will come out are yet to be seen. He also found the voice acting to be very flat.
I found the music to be well done and moving, but the sound effects really gave SpellForce 3 an immersive quality, from the running water, to the birds and crickets, to the lumberjacks chopping down trees for lumber. One complaint he had was that, while the game had great sounds and epic music, the music would get really dramatic for what amounted to small, short skirmishes, which diminished the music's impact when there actually is an epic battle. Mainly, as SpellForce: The Order of Dawn received a 65% (a point above failure), I wanted to see what his complaints were. So, I read Vaxeks' review to see what may have changed between then and now.
There was a Sequel in 2006, but we didn't get a chance to review that one, but even that one was eleven years ago. How far back? Let's just say that the Minimum System Requirements called for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP on a Pentium 3 and the very next review we did was for a Dreamcast game. I did a little searching and found that one of our reviewers had reviewed SpellForce: The Order of Dawn, but that was a while back. SpellForce 3 is my first introduction to the series. Have you ever played a SpellForce game? I haven't.
