This is the only CRPG in my whole life I didn't want to finish because I was too bored.

There is plenty of play time, probably several hundred hours, with most of it watching lizard men move after you one at a time. Big battles can take 45 minutes on occasion.

By the way, if you try it and don't like it, make sure you install the patch if you have one of the first batch of discs out before uninstalling the program, or you can lose your operating system I hear.

Turn based gaming is fine. In fact, I like it. The trouble is, there are so many enemies, you become frustrated with moving 25 feet down the corridor before entering the next 10 minute battle. And it seems like the variety of enemies is limited. I bet this would be a great pen and paper module, but it is cumbersome and bland on the PC.
