Award-winning Black Isle Studios unleashes an epic RPG like no other. In the 12th century, a supernatural catastrophe tore the fabric of reality, unleashing spirits and magic, forever changing medieval Earth. Cast into this world and besieged by spirits and power groups, you must gain allies, take up arms and find your destiny.
To the common folk, magic was something to be feared and undoubtedly the handiwork of evil demons. People across Europe sought protection from the forces of evil and therefore relinquished utter control of their lives to the Inquisition.
To this day, the Inquisition still governs most of civilized Europe, directly or indirectly. In their relentless hunt for heretical wizards and magical creatures the Inquisition inspires awe and faith among many, and is despised and feared by others.
Choose your champion – Feralkin, Sylvant, Demonkin, or Human Pureblood – and align yourself with the Knights Templar, the Inquisition, or the Wielders. Explore 16th century Europe, twisted and changed by magic, and encounter the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo.
An original story set in a warped alternative timeline
Meet historical characters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Gallileo and Shakespeare
One of the greatest, if often overlooked, RPGs of all time
I just bought this when i was on sale for 3 dollars along with stonekeep. Played it all night 10 hours none-stop. Got to the part with the goblin kahn. Failed at lockpicking his chest.... and ran out of the zone... when i got back into the zone he was gone and he just vanished. AWFUL! Sooo many bugs... I don't know what to do! sometimes when you pick locks it won't register your lockpicking bonuses which is terrible... Game could have been great if it didn't have so many bugs.
I don't own it as of now, but I used to play it on many various occasions. Once, I even managed to finish it. ( It was kind of a paladin build, where I focused melee, but had tons of healing, and shielding magic.). To describe how much this game became a thorn in my side, the music from this game plays in my head when something disappointing happens in my life. This is by far my most hated piece of digital garbage; I've ever had the discomfort of playing.
On the surface, seems okay, but the longer you play you notice glaring problems. Like, why does mage, or archer focused abilities even exist, if you won’t ever, and I'm being absolutely honest. YOU WILL NEVER have a pure wizard, or pure archer build that actually works in this game. The enemies come at you in massive swarms. You cannot by design, be a pure anything, but a fighter. Fighter can do anything he wants.
The music is a drowning, boring loop of shit. At first you might actually enjoy it, for the first few seconds, but then it gets mad boring real fast. Its cool there's a lot of skills, but you won’t be using most of them. Basically 80% of the skills are not viable, especially the summoning skills. Oh my god, it's horrible. You summon a thing, and it drains your mana endlessly until you banish it or it drains your mana completely. So, if you wanted a summoner build tough luck.
Charisma is only useful at the start, later on it’s pointless. It's basically the illusion of choice, you get all this cool stuff, but the game only wants you to be a dumb warrior. That's about it. Also, don't bother power game, and train yourself, monsters level up with you. So, chances are, the game will be EVEN HARDER, if you try and level yourself up too fast.
Few game have been so disappointing as this one. The universe they have created is genius, and it has so much potential. Yet, they squandered it. The combat system is broken and the game feels rushed, especially after early game. They should have made it a PS2 hack'n'slash, like brotherhood of steel, because unlike brotherhood of steel, it would have worked. But this? An apprentice of both hack'n'slash and RPG but a master of neither.
but it isn't i was pushed out unfinished as the developer was going out of buisness and received no real patching ETC
GOG you need to clearly tell buyers this is a broken and only semiplayable game
