Darksiders: Ask Vigil anything you want to know about the game

Vigil has kindly allowed us to send over some questions regarding its upcoming Rapture infused action title, Darksiders.
Before we start asking the development team what it eats for breakfast, how many people have been worked to death, and why War’s horse (Ruin) does not turn him into a pile of ash as he rides it – we thought we would see if there was anything you – the readers – would like to know.
Post your questions in the comments section, and if we choose your question, you will be forever immortalized through the interview and be looked upon with awe and envy amongst your peers.
We are sending this off later today, so to get you enough reference material, click this link for a list of previous posts on the game.
Hop to it!

What kind of length are we looking at (matron)?
The footage shown so far looks very action-oriented, but they keep saying it’s almost Zelda-like. What’s on offer besides the action? And why aren’t we seeing some of that too?

1. Are there any other melee weapons besides the sword?
2. If there are other melee weapons is there swift(meaning press a single button once) weapon switching while playing the game?
3. Are there other projectile weapons besides the gun?
4. If there are other projectile weapons besides the gun, is there swift(meaning press a single button once) weapon switching while playing the game.
5. Are there counter attacks? More specifically, if you time a certain action to occur just at the moment an npc strikes, will the player do a unique move that puts him at an advantage to follow up with a sequence of strikes?
6. How many levels of upgrades to the character and his weapons have?
7. Can low level NPCs be dismembered without a quick time event?
8. Are there ways to reflect projectiles NPCs shoot towards you back to the NPC that shot the projectile or other NPCs nearby?
9. Can the character disarm NPCs that have weapons and use those weapons?
10. Is there any vertical or horizontal wall running?
11. What abilities does the horse have other than being a conveyance?
12. Does the main character get any other companions besides the horse?
13. Wouldn’t this game have better sales prospects if it was released from April-August 2009 so it didn’t have to compete with Bayonetta, Dante’s Inferno, or God Of War 3? This game looks good and looks like a worthy purchase, but there’s a version of Bayonetta that got a perfect score from Famitsu and the notoriously hard to impress Edge magazine. It seems to me that this good looking game would have even better sales prospects if it had less fierce competition.

Wow. Just wow. Hat’s off to FeaturePreacher. Hand him a beer and a hooker while your at it. He deserves it. *claps* Seriously. Good job there. Too bad I already sent the questions off

So there’s no chance of sending those questions to them?
