      Behold! The first gameplay footage straight from GamesCom. We've just became a lot wiser seeing the game in action with UI, quest info, event messages, skills, controls and much more. What can you spot in the video? Feel free to leave a comment or start a new thread on our forums to discuss your opinion and findings.

      (Advice, click 720p to watch it in HD)

      UPDATE:

      This video is no footage of the demo. Martin Kerstein:
      What that guy filmed is what is called dress rehearsal. It is done to make sure that the audio and video setup is working as it should be. heck, i was not even working along a script.

      About unresponsive AI: We were using cheat commands and were invisible, I repeat - we were invisible (and also immortal if i remember) . So the monsterss did not see us at all.

      There are no quests: Some events are hidden and can be triggered by players. Sometimes it is an object that it is lying around, sometimes it is walking up to a guy and chatting with him.

      So - starting from today, you should see more "real" footage, without devloper magic.

        Still cool though, I was about to comment on the video but will wait until an official real-time video emerges from the demo. The maps are interesting though, and the dual axe Whirlwind Attack :)
