My "First" Computer RPG
This was, as I just said - my first computer RPG. I'm still playing it today.
Some people find the game too hard. The problem with this accusation is this - one cannot lift (in real life) three hundred pounds without dedicated training. The same holds true for any video game. If you challenge a Wyvern the first time you pass its cave, you will probably be killed. If you are a low level, you won't be in luck. Though it is not "necessary" to finish all side quests, you will not be able to face many of the challenges ahead the best you could have.
You must also realize that this game is "older". The graphics are comparable to the first "Myst" game. You can't expext to turn on your monitor and see Max Payne quality graphics. It's not "pretty", but not terribly ugly either.
Also - as a tip from me to you - set your AI Script. If you aren't the best at mangaging all of your people, the AI can help you keep track of them.
The plot is...interestingly minimal. There is so much to do and so many things that can be done. The plot is there, but if you don't play for a year, you can still figure out where you left off. It's basically a conspiracy plot - dealing in secrets and the nearly-lone hero who takes on the huge evil. It's engaging, but it doesn't beat you over the head and annoy you with (many) long speeches of just plot. The game moves, and that's what I like.
