I expected a throwback to oldschool rpg's and thats exactly what I got - Ultima VII vet here
i played/beat Chaos strikes back with one char.
Thats says nothing.
Well, I beat the original DM as well, but Chaos Strikes back was a step back on many levels, but lets not turn this into an e-peen contest right
Besides those games had, apart from being rpg's, nothing in common with D:OS. Ultima VII has.
