Dungeons & Dragons Online Hands On at GameSpot

GameSpot too has come up with hands on experience from watching Stormreach beta in action. In contrast with TenTonHammer's one, GameSpot's doesn't emphasise combat so much. Here's a clip:

In fact, the game will be based on the 3.5 Edition rules of Dungeons & Dragons--the most recent version of the classic, decades-old fantasy game that has inspired countless computer and video games. But this online game won't have any rolling dice or cardboard screens to cover up your character sheets. This will be a highly streamlined game that will attempt to capture the essence of playing in an adventuring group with your tabletop buddies, but in a very accessible, fast-paced way that should fit easily into your busy schedule. We recently had a chance to try out an adventure with some extremely powerful characters, and we have much to report. (Note: Please be advised that this report is based on a prerelease beta version of the game, so these and other details are subject to change before the game is completed.)
