Description
Thus begins your adventure within the Realm of Greyhawk. It is an adventure that will lead to the source of a deep and abiding mystery, to the very core of evil itself.

An evil demoness founded a cult dedicated to exploring evil in its most elemental forms. This cult was based in a temple just outside the village of Hommlet in a vile shire known as Nulb. Soon, this cult rose to rule the region with tyranny and grim times of chaos and violence ensued. Hard-fought battles were waged and the war was eventually won by the good armies of nearby lands. The temple was razed, the villains were imprisoned, and order was restored. The temple itself faded into distant memory. Until now...

quite unpolished

Honestly there is the base for a great game here, but it just isn't there yet, everything it does feels half-baked and the huge number of trash mobs and slow beginning in which both your characters and the monsters miss the attacks again and again as you patiently wait for the animations to play ironically makes me wish it was RTwP instead. The late game also suffers from being really buggy and unfinished, even if it has some cool battles. I won't blame this 2003 game for being crash heavy in a modern system, but bugs like skills clearly not working as intended or some summons being so buggy its impossible to dismiss then and they are somehow immortal or even buggy quest progression are things impossible to excuse. Story-wise there is nothing that interesting either, but at least the village and environments are quite nice, would have liked to see then expanding then a bit adding more depth to then(for example you barely interact with the environment itself in this game) and adding more vendors too, there is a lot of money in the game, but very few places to use it. Maybe the fan mods fix some of these problems, but as far as the unmodded game goes I can't say it really impressed me.

Completely Unplayable

The game itself looks good but it is unplayable because of the bugs. I had bought this game and spent several hours playing it over the weekend; constantly reloading after crashes and save file corruptions. Even fully patched (and this even includes unofficial patches) the game will continuously Lock Up, Crash, Corrupt your save files, and a host of other nasty surprises. From minor to crippling, this is the buggiest game I have ever played. As fun as it may be, you will very likely suffer from an unrecoverable error early on.

Not worth the bother

I bought this game when it came out. The bugs were so bad it wouldn't even start up. A patch was eventually released so we could actually get into the game - and man it just wasn't worth it. There's actually a good ruleset in here, but it's choked by breaking gameplay bugs and a terrible interface. Considering this came out ages after Baldur's Gate et al it is shocking just how far away it is in terms of polish. Avoid unless you are a D&D completest.

It's okay.

As far as Obsidian titles go this one is not the cream of the crop, but it's definitely playable and the combat is reasonably fun.
