There are some annoying problem with the combat party AI and pathfinding, and especially at the beginning it's very annoying. Pratically, no matter if the party AI is set to aggressive or passive, your companions more often than not straight up charge to the enemy, or they can't position themselves properly but starts to run around like headless chicken. There are some other minor nuisances like an incredible slow running speed and corridors dungeon that are filled with one, maximum two kind enemy. It becomes boring pretty fast. Otherwise the game is good, i suggest to edit the party run speed.

This was one of my very first RPGs. It has a fantastic calming atmosphere which always reminds me of the "good old" days when you went home from school after a troublesome day and just dived into this magnificant world.

Positive: It runs. GoG did what the original cd version doesn't wanted to do anymore. Negative: The biggest negative factor is the totally stupid combat system. Before someone starts with "learn the system, learn to play etc": I know the system. Played the pen and paper version for years. Have beaten all games of this series before. If you (like me) like tactical combat: stay away from this title. There are NO tactics. Example: Positioning three armored melees to block a narrow path, so that in theory no enemy can pass and the ranged/caster is proteced. This game: Pure chaos. Will your characters stop enemies from running right through them? Nope. Will they run through enemy lines to hit the enemy right in front of them from some seemingly random angle? Yes they will. Will they often totally ignore your orders ("like stand still and get healed" or "the three melees to the front, caster stay way behind")? Yes they will. Will they f*** up every tactic you try? Most likely. Winning combats is pure gambling. Minor negative: The game doesn't care what you play. You are a dwarf, standing before three dwarfs that try to scam you? Can you call them out and pray the rage of father angrosch on them? Nope. You get the same stupid vanilla lines everyone gets.

But to have fun, you need to know the rules. Training becomes difficult if you do not know the reasons for success and failure.

the game is fantastic. GOG is to be commended as well, i own this on steam and it wont play onlu the GOG version runs without issue. iI just wish GOG would get the other games in this series.
