First of all.. awesome game!
It's so.. Baldur's Gate meets Diablo.
Q: Where is the terrible graphics that I kept seeing in all the screenshots of the reviews of this game? The graphics are pretty good.
I haven't touched <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> yet, I hope the inventory system is reworked. Yikes. A scrollbar in the dialog, yet it didn't scroll. No button to auto-organize the inventory.
Don't get me wrong, being able to have varied sizes of items is cool.. but man was it a pain. And the NPC's that wanted to take my stuff cuz I might kill their king. That was a pain too. They re-organized my stuff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
* regenerate health. Your character should have SOME ability to regenerate without the skill.
* sleep. A sleeping bag or some such item would have been nice.
* character editor. Some means of editing the savegame/characters would have been helpful. Especially when I misplace an item. Obviously some players figured out how to hex edit games.. had you guys released a file format, we could have written an editor for ourselves <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
* multiple tiers within a level. I like being able to just run shotgun through a level, if need be. The multiple elevations in some of the areas (dark forest especially) drove me nuts. Having to walk all the way around them. Ugh. And with SO much ground to cover.. we couldn't have a gold cart? (ok, a horse.. but still!)
I don't care if the scorpions were over powering. I loved setting a couple loose and sitting back and soaking in the experience. Or letting them take notice off me so I could just nuke nuke nuke. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
The end of the game was funny. I released about 8 of the things. I backed out of the room to heal myself and put up a shield... bam. The screen went black. I thought.. holy crap, the game crashed.
Nope. The scorpion's toasted the end guy.

Thanks, Larian, I enjoyed it. And I still have <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> to look forward to! (I have some books to read and work to do before I play a game for 4 days straight again) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
It's a shame there are idiots for reviewers.. this game should have really been alot more of a winner than the reviewers gave it. Maybe I just read the wrong reviews..
