It's been bugging me for a while. In the demo, what happened if you fired a projectile at an enemy at the top of a set of stairs? Did the missile hit the stairs? Did it glide up? What if you were on top?

I don't recall trying this one, but I think it won't. Unless you fire a spell like Skull of Flames which is cast in an arc your spell will hit anything in a straight line and stop.

Thanks for the info. Anyone else confirm this?

Well I would assume spells and skills will work like they do in games that already have 3d like dungeon siege,titan quest and sacred 2.I think basically if you have a line of site and they are in range you will hit otherwise it would seem a little too restrictive to me.Press and hold skills Im not sure how they would work(like Inferno from D2) is there any example in the video?

In the WWI gameplay video at 3:42 you can see the barbarian use the skill "Seismic Slam" and it looks like it's going up the stairs. But that could have something to do with this skill being delivered from the ground.
At 8:08 the archer mercenaries shots arrows from floor level on zombies that are on a small raised platform which have a low fence as well.

I hope this will stay limited because if you can just fire blindly up stairs or down to a floor below you it makes certain fights just to easy and cheesy.
