I have this and its cool you can play with so many different characters but they have weaknesses and strong attacks and the range is needed

One small correction: Elves (and I think half-elves) can detect illusory walls. It doesn't show up on the map but if you're standing close to one they'll say something about it. Not that it helps much... Given that the text is so small and you're probably so busy looking literally anywhere else on the screen to even notice it

Nice

Where did you get the seperated image of the Genesis Box Art for the thumbnail? I'd love to have the isolated transparent render(s) of the characters like that!

Nice video, thanks for sharing! How long did it take to finish Curse of the Fire Dragon?

I prefer FRUA more than the main title games because I don't have to soak up all the story through those darn clue books and journals. I prefer all my reading to be done in the game itself. If I could have a modern version of FRUA with better controls and Inventory management I would appreciate it a lot. I love FP dungeon crawlers a heck of a lot, but they always split the inventory between the each character. I feel you could have a shared inventory with the total capacity of the whole party added together if you even wanted that much detail. Just make it easy for me to manage my dang party!

Dude you had General Chaos? We got it when the PS1 was having it's shine in the sun, We were bought it at a pawn shop with a few cheap two player games. That Chaos Engine and Mutant League Hockey.... some real some there, I always loved getting into melee in General Chaos after seeing the dude straight up shoot the other one,

What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense that humanity has lost the instinct for war and sends warriors... with instinct... you know what? Nevermind. Nice forgotten gem with this one, I played it long time ago and I remember having a blast. Btw, have you ever played Betrayal at Krondor and/or Betrayal at Antara? I would love to watch your review of those two.

This art style feels a lot like the old arcade game gunsmoke. Looks like one of those weird gamez though from the 90s that look nonsenschel but is extremely fun.

I have nothing but good memories of this game

Tech demos is exactly what those mini modules were. In fact, everyone back then knew that the Wailing Death OC itself is also more of an in depth/advanced tech demo of what can be done with the toolset, than a fully developed/produced/written adventure that bioware was known for.

Thank you for this. It inspires me to try it out.

Oui mais j adore ce jeu.

At this point I believe the NWN fanbase has different expectations than rest of gaming. I talked with many of them and very often they seem like prefer to stay at their comfort zone.

I have this game, and still pull it out to play it every so often, I've even got a current campaign I'm taking a break from. Even with the player-fixes, the game is still flawed. At the endgame you'll face at least two monsters that require magic holy weapons to damage at all, and all of the ones in the game are polearms or other two-handed weapons (except the longsword you can get from one of the Hommlet in-town quests.) Giving up your shield to do +1 damage on average just wasn't worth it. What if one of my PCs was a two-weapon ranger? Players had to expend too much effort having their own characters be able to craft all the magic items they needed themselves. Despite the flaws though, I really love that a character can marry Melony the druid, and get a +1 holy longsword as a wedding gift from her dad, before even going to the moat-house (first dungeon). And despite the fact that her strength is unbelievably low, she's still got stuff to contribute to a party with her healing and offensive magic. BTW: Troika folded after producing this game, the two bug fixes were created by Atari who had the license to all D&D CRPGs. At least that's the rumors I've heard from inside the fan community. One of the biggest, most egregious flaws in the base game is that NPC hirelings all have a loot system implemented, they all have a chance to swipe some of the loot you found on the field, and they don't care that they are loading up with heavy rusted weapons. Once they've looted something, it's THEIRS, with no real way to get rid of it, they will not sell loot they've taken, but everything you give them? Even the magic items, if it's not in their in-use inventory they'll sell it at the first opportunity. IMHO that was a huge bug that Temple+ fixed. Before Temple+ the looting fix was to buy each NPC an entire inventory of gloves so they didn't have room for any loot and thus wouldn't take any.

10:45 That wouldn't seem so irrational to you, if you weren't a moron.

Westwood's 2D games of the era had this amazing 'high-quality' feel about them, oftentimes surpassing LucasArts. However, in later Lands of Lore installments (2 and 3) they decided to jump on the 3D bandwagon and those aged badly.

This game looks awesome. Could have been released this year as an Indie.

Is Dawn the same person as Zanthia from Legend of Kyrandia?

Great review, I doubt I would have found this game without it. Not sure I will pick it up until it goes on sale, as you said the price seems a bit steep.

I have it given a shot based on your recommendation, and it was a pleasant surprise at how many improvements have been made to the base game (all spells are working, all feats are working, the game doesn't crash, added content was decent). The problems and bugs start to pile up when reaching the end, though. I like the new town and all, but the new quests are abysmal and not very well explained, and I find myself struggling with where to go next with no guides. I'd commend the modders on a great job and employ them to work on the temple aftermath it still needs a lot more refurbishment to at least have you engaged and this can be narrowed to simply giving the NPCs a lot more dialogue to steer the player in the right way also summoning huge elementals on your weakest companion gets pretty old by lvl 12. enemies need more AI scripts.

I grew up,playing similar games and honestly I agree. It’s a slog to say the best being played these days without mods and Addons to fix it. I love the classics, and other games, but I can’t get through it anymore. I can understand why the little ones struggle these days.

Yes AD&D is the greatest, and gosh I loved IWD more than BG1. As mentioned by someone else, the setting, intro, music, ambiance. I love it.

Found this after finally deciding to play the EE after years of original puritance. Beat video, and quality. Thank you mate. I appreciate this and yes Icewind Dale is a true gem. One day they’ll release the sound tracks on vinyl.

its basically necessary for Dark Sun campaigns, right?

$3.95 Those were the days!!!

I remember being so excited for this game when I was a kid. Then I played it...

Icewind Dale 2 and BG2 are the BEST OLD SCHOOL!!! They are my favorites, was waiting for Xbox to bring it to Xbox.... impatiently. Just have a old gaming PC that Dont go online for over 14 years or so now, with the highest Nivida Video Cards and All the Original Games the Deluxe, Enhanced, all cloths maps, a extras two boxes of all the games Unopened Still sealed!! Just how we roll, hard copies offline because you never know..

If only they hadn't lost the source code. I'd love a remastered version with true HD support. So many problems getting this to run properly on modern systems, so I have to play on an old retro Pentium 4 system.

what were the 2nd and 3rd clips shown right at the beginning of the video?

all i remember is camping the dracolich with strangers as people popped in and out of line

Well this really brings back memories! God knows how much time I spent playing these games, both at the time and many years later using DOSBox. I actually got the EOTB2 first (I think my dad bought it) and enjoyed it so much that I bought the original game after I'd finished it. A year or two later, I got the third for my birthday, which while it was a definite disappointment, I don't think it's as bad some people say. (Subscribed BTW! 🙂👍)

I could never get past the spinner level 🥲 Always found it funny that you get an amazing cinematic intro but a wall of text congratulatory end screen...

After you beat the final boss you get a single line of congratulations and you get dropped back to DOS. However if you play this on the Amiga there was an ending cut scene. From what I heard it would have required shipping another 720K floppy disc with the PC game and they didn't expect many people to reach the end so they dropped it to save costs. The Amiga floppy format was 800K per disc so it had room to include the proper ending. You can find the true ending if you search on RUclips.

i felt the same way about eye of the beholder. A mini map would change so much! i may have to try it again!

It'd be interesting to see your opinion on comparisons between this and it's future genre title Legend of Grimrock. I'm only halfway through the vid so apologies if you already mention it

I was such an SSI fanboy back in the day. I was in my late teens and early 20s when all these games came flooding out and I played (mostly pirated lol) all of them. I loooved mapping them out on graph paper etc. Good times.

Seeing this at a friend's house (around 93) quickly morphed into an entire evening spent spelunking. Oh, we found all the traps, never fear fellow adventurers, lol!

TBH this is a good game, loved playing it. Get "QuestBusters: The Book of Clues 2" if you want to play it today. It will help!

I wish I could get into Neverwinter Nights. Idk why I never can.

I played this game for the first-time last year and fell in love pretty quickly. Not instantly, because I first tried it on mobile and didn't love that version of it, but for some reason, ended up buying it on Stream and giving it another try on PC. Probably in my top 10 games tbh. I still haven't beaten 2, because I started it right after finishing the first one and just got burnt out about 10 hours in.

I'd love for them to release an Enhanced Edition (Like Baldur's Gate) with the bug fix mod included.

The Blackwell series is SO good. Each takes around an evening to complete, which I really enjoyed. The story is great and the puzzles don't have any moon logic. Can't recommend it enough.

I'm looking forward to the new stuff!

Looking forward to new stuff, but I hope you will do an Eye of the Beholder video eventually.

I’m fine with however you go, can totally get how easily it would stagnate interest if you’re feeling trapped in trying to describe a game but it’s so similar to many others and you just wanna get to where you feel you can say the most. To be fair it doesn’t feel like it strays too far from what you do since plenty of your videos comes with these digressions like with the I have no mouth and I must scream review and its relation to how it adapts the original short story. Nonetheless I hope you can get to a more comfortable pace with this change up

Good luck!

Or game rot has compromised the CD...?
