Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat Attention all: Temple of Elemental Evil - Greyhawk

Maybe some guys already mentioned this game, but I can't see any threads about this game so far, thus... That's why I want to remember everyone of this beautiful game from the makers of Arcanum.

Release date:
Read in the official fora it will be around 3 october.

Hours gameplay:


Special thingies:
D&D 3.5 rules. Not yust rules - almost everything is possible! Every single rule excists in this game - you can even make your own items like in classic PnP games! If you move your party members you'll see a green mark where he will walk and in red the attack of opp. from monsters (eventually). If you want to cast something like Magic missiles - you can choose every single target from now on!

Party:
5 party members, maximum 3 henchman (NPCs) to hire and take along with. Makes together 8 to travel together. It 'll be needed - max level is 10 so noone will be very powerfull, you'll need to plan everything very good to win but it will be rewarding. The game works turnbased - the Arcanum way. Funny thing: when you summon an animal, you can have it level up and take along with you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Interface:
Very handy and useful/easy to use. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/greyhawkthetempleofee/screens_6071847.html?page=5 - a circle with choises - if you want to choose a spell, you can without the icon, so you won't need to memorize every icon from every spell. Reminds me of Neverwinter Nights, but now with text.

Whis is the most importan part.


No, I don't like Arcanum THAT much: there are many great games arround, but I like to poke at Mandrake... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

translation of a reply of Ecko on Spelletjesgarnaal:

Where you start in the game / How you start with the main quest depends on race/class/alignment


It would be perfectly playable as an evil person and have a completly different experience

My commentary:
Finally a game where the start isn't always the same.
Seems a very good game, i'm gonna buy it. (damn another one i have to buy)
