Oldschool Gem
Yes the game is a bit clunky in the beginning and I had to push myself to start... but if you accept the graphics and and interface you will get sucked in the game and enjoy it more than many flashy "modern" games. I liked it for example more than Pathfinder WotR. The story is actually nice. The difficulty can be really hard but its doable. Bonus: The game doesnt want you to lecture about transgender/lesbian generals/kings like others these days...

Cannot Pause !
Would have been a good game if you could pause it. Unfortunately, there is no way to pause the game. I like to play these games to relax, not twitch. Zero due to the lack of pause.

The 1st impression - the max. difficulty
I started the game at the "Grandmaster" dificulty (because I am real Grandmaster). Crafting and questing was not a problem, although i have to use more than the grandfather field to have enough food. When i saw the wooden toilet, i was looking forward to make my own poop to fertilize my land, but unfortunately it gave me just a black screen :(. When I saw a Wisp (without trying to find out HP of the Wisp) I told to to myself: "This is just some fen-fire, I should be able to kill it at level one even with Grandmaster difficulty." And I fireballed it. What a surprice! I have just litte bit more than 1000 HP, while Wisp had more than 4000!:( And arcane immunity! (Which seemed logical.) I was like: "Oh no, I am dead!:(". But then I remembered the TAMING TRAP, so I put it before me and when Wisp got close, it get trapped!:) I was playing mage and alchemist (what a combination!:)) and suvivor, so I was sure, that i will be not able to tame the Wisp (I have no hunting skill). But I survived the fight with so strong opponent :). I will try to find information about taming and try to tame the Wisp - welcome my new pet, lol. I was little dissapointed, when I planted my two two magical seeds, they grow in magical chests (the watering and ferilizing helped it:)), so I was looking forward to two walking magical chests (read books from terry Pratchet), but I get just a scroll for forget a crime and a little pig. I would also like to have availabe the ATTACK TARGET order for my pet. I have the Phoenix ring, so I can risk my pet as much as I want, lol. My future strategy will be to let the pet stay in approximated way of the target, the fireballed it from distance and then give "HELP ME" order to my pet.
