About Ogre even if only a rendering engine, the community provide workflow and if you are using blender for the character or level design you can export them easily. It's supports python with pyogre. Physics with newton and Ode, shaders and some powerfull contributions. Some game of Ogre look AAA games I've never seen an irrlicht reach this point. Anyway you need programming but for me there is no way to make a decent game without programming. About S2 you don't need to rely on 3ds warez since many modeler tools export in this format. You can use blender to export your character in 3ds format

Genre-independent with a rich feature set. Also available for multiple-licenses, if LGPL does not fit your needs (similar to GarageGame's OpenTnL). (Heavy Development, Fully useable, currently active) * NeoAxis Engine - is a game engine and toolkit designed for the creation of game titles for all genres, as well as 3D Visualization and Virtual Reality projects. * SagaEngine - multi-platform game engine. Ogre version under heavy development * OGE - Open Game Engine - Cross-platform, Only LGPL for now, game-engine for multi-genre. (Started Jan 06 - Planning phase) * WGE - Wreckedgames Engine - From the creator of TheoraVideo pluging and OIS, comes WGE. A script (Squirrel) driven engine. It is licensed under the GPL, alternative license will be availiable. Early development. but i think there are more. even some commercial ones like from pelican crossing.

You have to use a plugin to export meshes directly from Max. Models, Textures and Games from Dexsoft

I think it's one of the siliest choice you could make !! :s @broozar about urrlicht performance I had a very bad one the last time I try it. Maybe it's was my laptop because you result sounds surprising, I'm gonna try it on another computer to see if I was mistaken
