Sell Me!!

[Wyvern]

Topside for Charlie!

[Charlie]

First impressions (gonna show my age here) are, it appears a little like Dungeon Master (anyone remember that?) If so, then I'll definitely get into it. DM was the first ever RPG/CRPG (dunno what the difference is) dungeon crawl type game that I ever played and I enjoyed it immensely. I followed that up with DM2 & Eye of the Beholder many moons ago. Am I right in thinking it's along those lines?

I think I'm sold already regardless, I just hope I can get it over here. Is it very old?

Thanks for the bump Wyvern

Charlie: you should be able to find it at Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, or any of the large software wholesalers. It's only been about about 7-8 months...came out about the same time BG2 hit the shelves. (Stupid marketing decision, heheh!) Anyway, you shouldn't have to look too hard for it, and it's probably at a discount as well.

P.S. Dungeon Master is a good call. It's like a 3D accelerated version of the old 1st person "dungeon crawls".

Thanks Sazerac although I'm not too sure any of those stores have outlets in London. I'll have a ring round tommorrow.

Did you play DM btw?

Ok, I'm seeing enough of my fellow BG2'ers are trying it and not running aways screaming and tearing their hair out...soooo I'm going to look for it.

I really love the IWD and BG2 interfaces (improved from BG1) so I'm not sure how I'll like this '1st person view'. And as LoA says, you have to take the WHOLE party when doing something? Um, can someone give me more info/advice on that, please? Maybe a bit more description of what you see, types of actions that can be taken, etc.

I see Sazerac mentioning something called lure/repel spells in conjunction with battle strategy to help with pc placement?

I am waiting for ToB, as are most of us diehard BG2 players, but I have no problem checking out a new game! I'm not weary of BG2 yet, haven't even finished a game yet! Hope to do so with my multi-play game. So I may not get to playing W &W as much as BK and LoA seem to be! But then again, they've seen the end of BG2 already! LOL

I learn these things pretty quickly, but I can say that a bad/buggy interface design is the one sure way to kill my enthusiasm for any computer game/program.

Cloudy -

You might end up being one of the lucky ones, like myself, who played the whole game with narry a bug anywhere (not counting the undocumented "features").

Basically, when you are in an area where you have to go like underwater for something, the whole party is involved in the effects of drowning...you can't seperate one guy to dive in a pool for something. You'll be seeing it as a first person perspective but will be able to make any of your party members "active" in case you need like the Breath of Air spell to navigate larger bodies of water like the Sea or the underwater city.

Like, I hope I did not confuse you more!

On another note...I had some serious crashing problems with my first install and an attempt to play with inadequate memory. Once the memory was upgraded and I installed the game again, I played without error from start to finish.

You'll also have underwater breathers and helms by the time you go searching for the underwater city!

Moni and Wyvern, thanks for the info! I will buy it. But I fear the time factor....sigh.. hmmmm can I blow off family visit on vacation and play? sigh..not really...love my family/friends too! LOL

I'll do it somehow, though! I'm quite impressed with this crowd and the game sounds interesting!
