Have you ever played Microplay’s Darklands? It’s very good at portraying Germanic myths and their clash with Catholic personality during the sixteenth century. Baldur’s Gate was actually inspired by it’s game play style (but the overall environment went to D&D’s Forgotten Realms rather then a living personification of actual medieval history and legend). The game’s pretty old now and I haven’t seen it for sale in quite some time. But it’s well worth checking out if you can find it (the instruction manual goes into detail describing the actual history and how the game drew its inspiration).Originally posted by fable:

Yes! I love Darklands! It's a wonderful game, even at this distance, and I keep wondering why nobody has ever done a followup to it with modern technology. There were so many new ideas in it, some of which later became standard (like our third person pause and issue orders combat), while others, equally good, were never used again--including a cleverly designed alchemy system (M&M's doesn't even begin to approach it), and a clever magic system based on praying to holy saints. Would you believe it's still on my hard drive?Kayless writes:

Interesting Side note: When I was first playing Darklands my speakers weren’t working so I had a radio going instead (on an oldies station). Now whenever I hear Blue Moon or Viva Los Vegas I think of Darklands. Weird, no? Yes, well, some things never change.Originally posted by Mr Sleep:
