Have Arcanum already. Great game, highly recommend it.

Have Betrayal at Krondor Pack in my wishlist and I can't for the life of me remember why O_o
Gonna pass it up for now unless I remember I think. Bought a lot lately and more coming up xD

Leroux: I don't know this from experience (haven't played Antara myself) so I can't say for sure but several posts on the forums suggest that it is: some agreed, noone objected, that's what got me worried. Thanks for looking into it, especially since I'm now an owner of the BaK pack, too! :)

GameRager: Seriously? Because I just got the BAK Pack(already had gotten Return to Krondor earlier, and already owned VtM:Redemption(a game which I LOVE TO DEATH(lol) but never finished(Got to the first daylight as vampire sequence with all the shaodws you have to navigate through.).....so I got BAK Pack.
I used to own a boxed version of Antara and ran into the same chapter 4 bug. i never finished it because i had no idea how to get past it. One of the reasons i bought the BAK pack was to finally finish Antara. Thanks for looking into this GoG.

mothwentbad: Arcanum is nice... But the learning curve is something horrible, and it smacks you in the face for even TRYING to be a gunslinger even a little bit at the beginning.
Being a class that uses limited resources as ammo is a lot harder. I don't recommend starting as a gunslinger as the first character because you need to know how to make money.

It actually takes only 1 skill point to make money in this game, and also diligence in checking garbage cans. The second is to make sure you use the slowest gun you find. Machine gun? BAD idea :D

I never got far enough that even while using ammo, I was doing more damage than a boomerang. With a revolver. That's just *wrong*. There's limited resources, and then there's "oh hai, we hate you for making this character."

You need to be several revolver upgrades down the line until you do enough damage to be worth using. The starting revolvers are all a trap. They fire super fast and do almost no damage. There is a reason why enemies with those revolvers do not kill you.

I don't think you can go pure revolvers though. You'll be going up the tech trees to make your own weapons and you will want to make the other stuff too due to high Int. You will get plenty enough skill points to go melee and revolvers. Thrown is not a bad deal either since you can switch between your home-made grenades and the boomerang.

Here's hoping that more people bought Return to Krondor during the sales, so that someone may be able to reply my unanswered question about it.

Yeah... revolvers that sting less than boomerangs......
