Is it just me or is this about the most replayable game ever? I've found myself drawn back into it again after maybe a year of not playing and I am having alot of fun with (and shaking off some rust). It started out with "let's see how it looks/sounds with the new pc/hardware" and looks like it will end up being a few more runs through. I've got a party I really like now at around level 9 or so heading for Trynton.

I've been playing with a Female/Hobbit/Bard, Female/Human/Gadgie, Female/Mook/Samurai, Male/Dracon/Lord, Male/Felpurr/Ninja and Male/Elf/Bishop, plus Vi kept as a Valk. The Bard is a music and archer-type, so I'm maxing out Sen and splitting other points between Dex and Str. She'll also haste the party alot. The Gadgie goes with gadgets/omnigun and is working on Dex/Sen. The Samurai has been going sword/shield early, later on I'll have to see whether I want to stay that way or use the GS; she's going for Str/Dex. The Lord uses a sword (gave him bloodlust) and shield and also goes for Str/Dex. I've never gotten Excalibur and might go for it for him in this game to check it out. My Ninja will be the element shield guy, so he's maxing Spd and splitting other points between Str/Dex. He's got a Hayai Bo now and will eventually use the SoD. And the Bishop is working on all the books save Psionics - he'll be the soul shielder so he's going for Spd and also Int. Vi is going with polearms and the blunderbuss - I might switch her over to the Fighter class after she gets the portal spell. Their basic formation is with the Ninja and Vi each taking a flank spot; the Lord and Samurai in the front slot; the Bishop in the center; and the Bard and Gadgie in the rear. So far they've been very fun to play and while I don't think they're a power-gaming type group, they're well balanced and effective.
