User blog comment:Gardimuer/1999 Game Mode Announced/@comment-1330314-20120121152009

I don't really get why having a narrower range of choices would make gameplay more enjoyable, but the survival-oriented gameplay it'd present would definitely make the game fun to replay under different specializations. I wish he'd talked more about Nostrums, though, especially since they're the basis of this new game mode. Right now there's so little we know about the combat system it's hard to feel strongly either way about this.

This could get a lot more interesting once Irrational release more info on the game's combat mechanics. However, this is still a great tidbit of news, especially at a time when the developers are doing their best to deliberately under-hype the game. Kudos on finding this.
