First of all: Welcome to the board, Calsiumus. [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] Nice to see a fellow Scandinavian here. [img]smile.gif[/img]
In short: The storyline.
It is an epic adventure with the classical characters: The Evil One himself and the good ones who are trailing all the way through, their only hope being you, and finally winning in the end... If you are good enough, that is.
The characters' personalities are verging on charicature. But the epic itself is such a grand scale adventure (taking into account the time where the game was created) that it does not really matter. Only twice in the game one really encounters a dilemma concerning whether to play good or bad.
The interaction with other characters is a bit old-fashioned, but I like it. The mysteries are great, and the monsters pose some difficulty. At least in the opening stages of the game.
The inventory system is the classic slot system. There are some interesting weapons and other pieces of equipment. What is especially great is the ability to enchant end bless items.
The role ascension system is equally great. It is very flexible and there are the three special roles that you will only gain by chance. (If you do not let yourself spoil).
Also to pass a certain situation or place one does not always have to take the beaten way. There are lots of workarounds. (Without cheating).
There are also some great landscapes although the greaphics are a bit outdated.
All in all my advice is: Try the game, and I am sure you will like it. And do hang around this forum. It is the best.
Oh and one last thing: Do not despair if you find yourself unable to enter the crypt. [img]smile.gif[/img]
