This was the best RPG I had ever played when I played it the first time. Though it is lacking in technical sophistication by today's standards, it has the best storyline that I've encountered anywhere, which counts for a whole lot in my book. The graphics are great by 1999 standards. The gameplay systems are fine, and combat is pretty good--not as action-packed as a first-person shooter, but great for a real RPG. The storyline is where this one shines. There's motivation throughout the game, and your character is always central. I remember having quite a feeling of anticipation and excitement with this game--something unequalled in any other game, even for Baldur's Gate 2. The game remains challenging--even hard--throughout, as well, which is also rather unusual. Of course if you powergame and read the guide, it's probably not so hard. I give this game my highest recommendation. You'll easily understand why it's a classic if you play it. If you don't mind playing a slightly "old-fashioned" game engine, you'll love it.Read full review
I bought this game because I like ad&d roleplaying games. Although it's graphics are outdated it makes up for it in the storyline. I will probably buy the next game in this saga.
