When you realize it was made by people who for some time weren't being paid, under a publisher that had one foot in the grave and the other chopped off, you start to realize that maybe Lionheart was about as good as it could have ever been.

Interesting... makes sense. Found the game to be great... a potential classic up until you leave the city and the game takes a nose dive in quality. Honestly, I've never been able to actually beat the game legit. What happens is I reach a point where my character can't handle the combat and it is no longer fun. At that point I export my character, start a new game and run them through again so they have higher levels for the end game.
