Many many thanks to MACHINEHEAD! Who sent me his copy of the game!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] I'll send you some music bro!

Oh my goodness! I bought the game... four years ago? I got a fair way through. When I was living in Singapore I got very near the end, but left the game there!! Arrgghh!

But tonight I finished it. Oh man. What a story. Best story in a CRPG I've experienced. So tragically haunting from the moment you start the game. Unreal. Amazed me. Very glad I played it through. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Whoever conceived of that is brilliant in my mind. Love the moral(s) contained in the story as well. Wunderbar.

Yeah, the ending was brilliant. Very original too... glad you liked it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sounds like I should buy it. How is it compared to BG?

*More talking, less fighting.
*A very good story that´s closely connected to the main character.
*Fewer classes to choose from but much more character development.
*Interresting NPC´s.
*Interresting setting.

Buy it as soon as possible. I don't think the combat is as good as BG but the story is the important thing about the game. And the story is incredible. It's definitely the best in a CRPG, IMO.

Why are you still reading this? Go and buy it now!! :D

Strange, I just started it a few days ago.

Im enjoying it so far.

Well compared to baldurs gate... the characters are much larger.
You dont make your character, they are all pre made.

There is more conversation trees, and the choices you make in them alter the story.

It is sort of a mystery story.

Its well worth getting, so far I like it more than the other infinity engine games I played and didnt finish.

Unfortunately what dates it is its in 800 x 600 only. I think it was the second IE game made, so looks wise it looks a great deal like baldurs gate 1.

I'm still at work Spade [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]

I'll buy the game as soon as possible.

Man, I still haven't! I stopped by the time I got back into Sigil after the little Planewalk, and then I had to deinstall to free up HD space (stupid partitions). I really do want to finish the game soon thoug, because I absolutely loved the storyline!

Raistlin Majere 05-26-2003 09:21 AM

strange, i havent found it nearly as addictive as the bg series. i actually havent finished though(im in the clerics ward or whatever), since ive always gotten some kind of inspiration of roleplaying some kit in bg1 or 2...

<font color=lime>Hey Raistlin, you seen Tas around here somewhere? I am missing a couple things from my computer desk here, and well, you know... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Charlie 05-26-2003 10:15 AM

I played a bit of it. It is good but certainly not as instantly addictive as the BG games I agree. The mountains of dialogue takes the edge off of it for me. I suppose maybe that's why the story line is so good, built up in the text between the characters, dunno.

There's also stuff I still don't get. Can you be multi-classed, running 2 classes at once? I was a bit miffed when I lost my fighter status and started as a level 1 rogue. I thought I'd get my F class back when I overtook its level with my rogue level. Seems I lost 5 or 6 classes of Fighter that I could have put into Rogue earlier.

Attalus 05-26-2003 10:40 AM

Great game, unforgettable NPC's but the lack of a Multiplay version definitely hurt it commercially, as well as the fact that you cannot dual-class, as Charlie found out. I found it much simpler and more fun to go through the game as a fighter (with high INT/WIS/CHA) and leave the thieving to Annah and the magic to others.

Yorick 05-26-2003 11:51 AM

I went through as a mage. The high spell level cutscenes were fantastic.

Charlie, if you have Dakkon and Annah in your party, you can switch between the three classes at will. It's better to focus on one class, but sometimes it's good to switch to get attribute increases only available to that specific class.

Simply talk to Dakkon about things you want to *know* and he'll train you back to fighter at the level you left off.

Attalus 05-26-2003 12:06 PM

Yorick, I agree with the high-level spell aminations, but after all that, you don't do all that much damage, as opposed to about three blows from The Justifier. But, to each his own. I like using Dak'Kon as mage, and Annah, of course, as the thief.
