So is it a haven from dungeons? Or is the dungeon the actual haven? And if so, who is it a haven for? Or is it just a random prefix and suffix that sounds RPGish?

I think it is a haven for dungeons. They are supposed to be sentient in this game.

 

[Carnifex]

A haven for the monsters that live in the dungeons? Either way, doesn't sound like something I'll be keen on, too bad it isn't turn based.

Well, it looks like nothing but constant combat. Pass.

Skyrim should look this good. I'll keep it on my radar just to see where it goes.

 

[Darkheart]

Instead of using a shield like a proper knight, I just phase into my stone form (through which swords just pass through).
Don't think this is a game for me.

 

[Carnifex]

Ouch, a liberal swing at Skyrim! Shots fired, sir!

 

[Ripper]

The models and the lighting are really nice, but in other ways it looks pretty clunky. An odd one, this.
