I bought it on GOG because I'm a sucker for old CRPGs, but it doesn't click with me.<br /><br />For one thing, there are too many equipment choices at the beginning, and now guidance on what I should choose. This is an issue with a lot of older CRPGs though.<br /><br />The real dealbreaker when I tried to play was that the game seems to use fixed dungeon encounters and offer no way to grind, so I quickly reached an encounter that I couldn't beat and had to stop playing.HunterZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049065099652976143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-82687987088308653602015-07-10T15:40:15.675-04:002015-07-10T15:40:15.675-04:00What happens if you try to put both of them into y...What happens if you try to put both of them into your party?tlhonmeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256644187305759072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-21250166008909236742015-07-10T14:18:25.661-04:002015-07-10T14:18:25.661-04:00"Haradwaith" is elvish, not English, so ..."Haradwaith" is elvish, not English, so it's not pronounced like "eight".PetrusOctavianusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-7625196540006229122015-07-10T11:54:00.751-04:002015-07-10T11:54:00.751-04:00Tolkien to the rescue: "Haradwaith".Tolkien to the rescue: "Haradwaith".Harlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-86064361726763111342015-07-10T09:51:00.830-04:002015-07-10T09:51:00.830-04:00Combat is resolved via a cakemania minigame.Combat is resolved via a cakemania minigame.Tristan Gallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769219573533545742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-53353554623198659642015-07-10T09:47:13.966-04:002015-07-10T09:47:13.966-04:00There can be only two.There can be only two.Tristan Gallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769219573533545742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-52063393201648606332015-07-10T03:55:58.494-04:002015-07-10T03:55:58.494-04:00There has to be!
