Even if it isn't all the settings are probably just in an .ini file. Someone will likely make a settings editor pretty soon after it comes out.

Yeah, I've beaten that monk, and one time, he even just gave up. But I was still not worthy to get the relic. I didn't complete the standard "dice" quest, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Medium is damn good looking as it is. I'm going to take a framerate hit to be able to play this on ultra. 30 FPS is good enough for me.

Haven't chosen yet but leaning towards div div since it sounds like it's fairly easy to pick up and play even if it is a bit on the shallow end.
