Been looking for a long time for find a game that could cure me of my DAOC disease, finally found it.
Only just completed the first "mission", some very interresting scripted fights and give the ending abit more beef then the old Baldurs Gate beat down fights.
Love the control's, the graphic, the sounds etc.. it's baldurs gate all over again. My best way of discribing it is... remember back when you played Baldurs Gate I and II for the first time, only now in full blow'n 3d etc. So far, the NPC/Hirelings have been alittle low on the interaction side, but you do get a sense of a story starting. Which's lead's me to my only realm complaint... why ohh why dont I have more options to control those NPC's.. im not talking showing the where to walk etc.. but you cant even equip them with anything. Found so many cool items for my Hireling, but... ended up selling it..
But dont let that fool you... Great game!!! Beat's everything else released since BG2.. not sure if it beat's that title yet.
Edit: Ups, forgot to tell about my character..
Race: Elf
Class: Ranger 1 Barbarian 3
Dual wielding 2 Bastard swords (Which is also he's focus weapon).
Wanted to really go nuts now that we finally got away from those 2ed rules.
On a note, the game seemed to reconize the Focus weapon.. drop of the final boss was a bastard sword +1...
