UGO has posted a preview of Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil. Here's a clip:

ToEE begins with a quest, which is pretty standard for an RPG, but it's a hell of a lot better than getting plopped down in the middle of a city, not knowing where to go or what to do. No, this quest is pretty easy. You're to enter a city and find this guy called Black Jay, who knows the whereabouts of these two missing soldiers. Even that's something I can figure out! While walking through town, I was able to stop and chat with the local folk, getting directions, finding out about the goings on, and so on and so forth. Interaction with other characters is a breeze, as right clicking yields a blooming radial display. From this display, you'll be able to choose options such as converse, or, for the less socially conscious, combat. There are numerous other options, including magic, skills, inventory and so forth, but as a beginning, just knowing how to fight and talk was enough. With a little luck, I was able to find the man named Black Jay, and a conversation ensued. This conversation yielded directions to my next location, a moathouse filled with baddies, where I was to continue my quest.
