You've been working hard on it and I think you should definitely run it by some established authors (there has got to be a forum out there somewhere; I mean, there's a VO forum...).
To be perfectly honest I would be more interested in running it by a number of fans of the genre and hear their reactions. Knowing writers (and people giving feedback over the internet), they'll probably just tell me to rewrite the whole thing from scratch, kill my darlings, stick to my first language, stop being a [insert writer] clone, don't quit my day job and better luck next time.

There is an old dwarf you can play as in the game and his name is Olvan! Sorry, I don't mean to keep doing that... It's just that the commonalities among fantasy names became banal to me a long time ago (see previous Terry Brooks rants). By no means do I think you should worry about such things.
Haha! I've never even heard of that game. And here I chose Olvan because it sounded less dwarfish... ah, well.
