Berg, if you are thinking about the Temple I HIGHLY suggest that you go to
www.atari.com and click on their Community site. Once there check out the ToEE forum and read all there is about patching. The list of bugs is mind-numbing to say the least.
As for IWD, it is hack&slash, but it is a fun hack&slash. The really fun thing for me to do was to roll up my entire party (there are no NPCs top join. The sound track, imo, is the best ever produced.
