Jade Empire: Special Edition

I am not the most pc savvy. I had to go into the drive and file to run the game. it wouldnt work otherwise. i would be stuck w my cursor in an invisible window. i ran the config multiple times until it worked and adjusted my video settings. then finally the desktop icon would work and the game would run perfectly. this is the best version to play compared to steam and origins(?). hopefully this somewhat helps. i love this game so much.

Classic 2000's orientalism, but actually done well. Definitely an underrated Bioware title! Also the only realtime action RPG of theirs to date, iirc. Playing different martial art styles is cool, and even cooler with mods.

Okay, so the combat hasn't aged all that well, but it's still perfectly serviceable. The game itself is an early part of the BioWare DNA that gave us Mass Effect and Dragon Age. The story is engaging, and well written and the characters are, like all our besties from Mass Effect and Dragon Age, well worth the time getting to know.

It runs well on my W10 machine and is a great game. The combat can be a little old school stiff but still tons of fun.

The gameplay does show its age more than the later Bioware games, but it is still extremely fun to play. The story is incredible.
