    [​IMG] I have heard so many things about this game, both good :angel: and bad :evil: that I can't decide whether to buy it?
    Should I, or am I better to stick with the BG and IWD series :hmm:

    Well you should get it, but bear in mind it's no Planescape: Torment. It's a good laugh to play, but I wouldn't reccomend buying full price. Get yourself a pre-owned copy. Everyone else on this forum will say it's rubbish. Don't listen to them. ;) :p

    If it's five to ten bucks then it might be an idea to get it. Any higher is a rip off

    [​IMG] Based on the reviews and posts about this game what do you think?
    It SUCKS there is absolutely nothing good about this piece of crap:you almost never hit but the monsters hit you a lot, combat is extremely slow, and the dungeons are HUGE(not a good thing in this game) which means you could spend a week running around in a dungeon where every corridor looks the same and where you can do nothing but kill and find the stairs to the next level.

    Oh year the box is kinda nice if you buy the game just for the box i guess it is ok, just remember to throw the so called *game* out.

    If i were you i would really not buy this game, i have never played a game this bad and probably never will. :mad:

    The price and the number of bugs are probably the biggest factors. It would be a good idea to take into consideration general opinion of others who enjoy games similar to the ones you like.
    Personally I would pass on it. I have only seen two good reviews for this game and only found about three people who like it. Make up your mind based on the info you find, you may end up being the fourth.
