Dark Messiah: Might and Magic.

Gamespot has the beta stuff.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

I played a Demo, and it was ok. Not sure what you mean by Beta....

Open beta for the MMO part. Runs thru Steam. I keep getting an error so I may end up calling this a bust.

You strike me as a Janeway type of guy.

I despise Steam as well. It crashes on my AMD system.

Both my friends who have purchased legal copies of HL2 forgot their steam passwords and are too lazy to get em back so even though I have the game installed on my computer I can't play~

Picard all the way, bastard.

it's an RPG based off the Half Life 2 engine. cool idea, and pretty cool implementation. it's probably the closest thing you'll come to Oblivion multiplayer.

It kinda sucks, melees are way overpowered. Netcode is ass, takes 5+ minutes to join a game. Video is definitely not optimized. I play 1680x1050 CS:Source with all graphics up, I have to drop down to 1200ishxwhatever to keep the lag down even when just playing 1 on 1.

It also looks like it has a memory leak. 10 minutes playing, it is taking about 300mb of ram/VM used, 30 minutes playing, 700mb ram/VM used.

Steam hasn't caused me problems since a little bit after release.

When I had to switch over to steam initially I think I almost bombed valve.

I won't play this game based solely on the stupid name of it.
