The last of the Realms of Arkania trilogy, this time playing in the city of Riva. If you enjoyed the first 2, this is a must have. If you haven't heared about this serie and love RPGs, but still don't know if you should give it a shot, let me ask you one question:
What other game allows your character to learn dancing or becoming a jester?
Yes, the character development is THAT much extraordinarily involving, so no CRPG-player worth it's salt is allowed to pass these by.
If you're not that much into RPGs, be warned though: all 3 games come with a deep, complex and rather uncommon system that needs dedication and time to learn and enjoy it. If you're looking for action oriented RPGs, you might be better off with other games, as all 3 RoA titles are leaning towards the hardcore crowd.
As with the predecessors, Attic implemented the complete "Das schwarze Auge" rulesystem into the game. This leaves you to play with 10 different classes, nearly 100 spells and numerous talents. The gameplay itself is based on a real-time, first-person exploration and a turn-based isometric combat mode. The enemies are challenging, but never unfair.
The storytelling is among the finest you can get and where the game really shows, that it's coming from a grown pen & paper system.
You're looking for a RPG that captivates you, where your characters will grow to your heart and the story keeps you going that extra hour even though you should have stopped playing already?
Look no further, as you have found it.
