This...I must say, I'm impressed with this too. This game, from what I can tell, actually manages to create a feeling that shit is quite definitely going down. Most RPGs of the time kinda just have the villain sitting in his magic sky castle in another dimension or something waiting for you to come kill him, and there's no sense of urgency or any real sense that this villain is a real threat to the world. Demon's Winter, from what I can tell, avoids that.

The writing is actually quite evocative for a game of this vintage. And a CRPG where the overworld changes too! Quite the belated classic.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-29402711194508929622011-03-13T19:32:04.995-04:002011-03-13T19:32:04.995-04:00Oh, I wanted to make a comment about game economi...Oh, I wanted to make a comment about game economies. I was thinking back to Balder's Gate, and realized that I never really had enough money to buy everything: There were always more potions, better armour and so on, but it was usually stuff that was so expensive I couldn't think about buying it, while all the stuff that was on the same price scale as what I wanted I could get. I had dozens of things of flame arrows, a person with a backpack of potions, another with a backpack of scrolls and so on. So there was still things to save up for, but it wasn't really worth it as each one was so expensive. Now I never finished the game, so it is possible there were places in Balder's Gate itself that had midrange items, but I didn't see them. Anyway, I think for me the satisfying bit isn't having something to work towards, but to always feel like my gold is useful for something.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-41979487794572466242011-03-13T19:26:21.167-04:002011-03-13T19:26:21.167-04:00Man, that font is really annoying.

On the upside I can read really quickly, on the downside it takes me forever to read something if you use a bad font and screw up the shape of the word, so I tend to be rather sensitive to such things...<br />Grah, it doesn't even LOOK nice!Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.com
