I've been playing the demo of this game.  It's by Arkane, the studio that
did Arx Fatalis which was in many ways similar to Ultima Underworld.

Anyhow, it's got some nice thiefly aspects with sneaking and stealth and
lots of shooting arrows at ropes to distract orcs.  I saw a picture with a
"rope bow" even, so maybe there will be rope arrows.  It uses the same
engine that HL2 uses I think so it's quite nice visually. 

Supposedly it will be out mid-October.  I'm going to get it.  :)

  I am downloading the demo for "Dark Messiah of Might and Magic". Is 
that the same one?

Yes, I guess I've been truncating the name.
