The worst dice rolling ever
I used to play this game on my old computer and it was running fine, all good. Some decades later I had an itch for playing this game again after so long, back in the day I was never able to finish it so I wanted to close that chapter once and for all. So I read that I needed some circle of eight mod and temple + to make it run on my system. All good but the first thing I notice is that every monster is super strong and that every attack I make misses all the time. I just made this my test run, gave myself a couple of levels using the console and tried the combat again but I was still missing every attack while the computer was hitting everything and doing a lot of criticals, so I thought maybe I had a bad party. I restarted the game and did my run legit, just reading a guide on GameBanshee to try and get enough experience to get to level 2, great let me try some combat on my party full of min maxed characters with 18 and 20 in their main stats. Nope, miss after miss after miss, I noticed I was never rolling higher than 1-5 on my d20 dice for attacks on the console log, I was baffled, I kept playing but that was the general thing, the only way to hit enemies was to give myself big bonuses with bulls strength, bard song, etc. I felt like a little munchkin, it was very different from the experience I had with this game as a kid, no idea if the circle of eight or the temple + increased the artificial difficulty in some way, but this game is not satisfying to play at all. You know that a low level party will miss everything, it will be a miss fest, but when the enemies keep rolling 20s on my party, it just gets boring eventually.
Is this helpful to you?
