The Sims Are Getting Medieval On Your Ass - I know there's at least one other Sims player here (looking at you BoringPostcards!). I am sooo stoked about this game. Anyone else?

I AM looking forward to this! I want to read some gameplay reviews, though, to make sure it's not all scripted gameplay. You know, linear quests instead of just life simulation.

My birthday is in March. Thank you, EA for celebrating 35 years of excellence with this totally awesome, super terrific looking Sims game! It is a fitting tribute.

The Sims IS my fatal flaw!

But aren't all the Sims characters already your serfs?

I know my pitch said it was a coming of age story in the 60s, but now it has lots of castles and wizards in it. okay?

Well, um, coming of age in the 60s did often include reading The Hobbit.

OooOoo I am intrigued.

Though it seems like the more I look at it, the less I know about it. The personalities are prepackaged? Is it like a big existing Sims town with personalities you just manage, don't create? In the Sims I liked to build houses and populate them with weirdos made from scratch. I think I spent more time in the family and house creation screens than in the actual game.

I'm sure I'll get this and play it no matter what. I hope by then I will have given up trying to manage the frustratingly impoverished and crappy Vauxhall Motors soccer club. *kicks FM2011*

Hrm. This might be the one that causes me to finally try out the game.

Awesome. Release is a week before my birthday!

Coming of age in the 1360's?
