Got the game today but...

Jorath Calar · 07-03-2005, 03:08 PM

It won't install... the setup program won't even load, just gives a error message

I tried all that it suugests, anyone else know why this happens?

Did I just waste a lot of money?

Jorath Calar · 07-03-2005, 03:33 PM

nevermind... I tried using the other drive and now it's installing... yey... so I may just use this thread if I have any other problems... [img]smile.gif[/img]

And believe me: There will be a lot of them. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, this looks to be DW's last release -- PC Gamer and all the other gaming mags SLAMMED this game (as they should) for the bugs and gave it 1 star out of 5 and 45 out of 100.

DW should be ashamed of this game.

The thing that is sad is that there is obvious potential here but (once again) they have released the game before it was ready - this is like a beta version with so many of the basic features not working. I don't know what they were working on during all the extra time they did take but it seems like it was all the wrong things. (sigh)

Jorath Calar · 07-07-2005, 09:20 PM

So do you guys think we will ever have a decent RPG again on our PCs? It seems all new rpgs have some potential but are rushed out and suffer for it... lets see. Pool of Radiance, Temple of Elemental Evil, Kotor 2, Dungeon Lords... any one I'm forgetting?
Could all have been so much better had they acctually been finished... okey maybe not PoR but the rest... [img]smile.gif[/img]

By the way I am kind of enjoying DL, except it runs very slowly at times, and despite all the bugs (which I havn't encountered a lot of yet, it some how feels hollow and soulless, almost nothing that drives me to actually play it, it lacks all charisma... just a good looking (the Goblin and Skeleton models are awesome) hack and slash

There is a lot of fun in the game other than the overland map area.

I think the dungeons are really cool. Of all the unfinished games you listed, none of them were unfinished like dungeon lords.
I mean a great deal of the whole overland area is barely started never mind unfinished. unfinished is like an npc who talks about an ogre in a cave that you never find. Were even missing the npc part of that equation here lol. temple of elemental evil is 'unfinished'... I like dungeon lords more than temple of elemental evil but thats not saying a whole lot lol

Ive posted this before but Ill post it again, there is literally miles of nothing in this game. There are buildings, about 8 total storekeepers.... 3 small side quests.... and nothing but random monsters in an area similar to like morrowind. And that game was pretty sparse in itself but it doesnt compare.

All said I give it about 60-65% for the dungeons I dont think these hate reviews are fair but still I cant say the opposite that its great.

If youre in the early part, well the game starts out you go right to a dungeon. Thats cool to me. It gets really bad until your next dungeon and then repeat that about 5 more times. The dungeons are cool but sometimes its a long time between them, anyhow thats my experience.

So the game is nasty?? i dont have it, you think it is worth to buy?

Loudhy · 07-19-2005, 05:12 AM

I read a lot about bugs in our german version and was lucky to talk with a player of DL. He said : Do not buy it ! It's not worth the price. Maybe later as a low budget game.

I left him very disappointed because I searched for a new RPG and I really thought that DW is a garant of a good game.

Now I'm waiting again, who knows how long ? Will there ever be a new good RPG in the future ?

You can probably pick it up fairly cheaply now, and it's probably worth doing that. Those of us who bought the game when it was new may be regretting the extra money we spent... I know I am. Still, it is an enjoyable way to pass away the hours, and it may be more fun in multiplayer mode. I haven't done that yet, but perhaps I might.

AS for new good RPGs.... we can only hope.
