For fans
I was thrilled when these games came out. Being a fan of the pen-and-paper-world the games are based on, I looked forward to their release for month and must've repeatedly played and finished all of the three games in the series. For me, these games are great. But I always considered myself one of the few people who enjoyed playing them and not really expected a lot of others enjoying them as well. That's why I never quite understood why they dared to release these games for any other market than the german one. Back then, this software was aimed at a thriving community of the corresponding pen-and-paper-system. Nobody minded that they implemented heaps of useless stats and talents and spells. On the contrary: People probably wouldn't have received the games well otherwise. They would have been considered a watered-down version of the original gaming-system, which was all about a shitload of stats that rarely mattered once you started playing. As a consequence, for people unfamiliar with the roleplaying-world of the Dark Eye, the computer-games must've been terrible to play. I am surprised that the series did rather well internationally nonetheless. Keep in mind that the system had never been translated into another language on a large scale and that it relied heavily on language, despite all it's maths and tables and stats. That was years before Fantasy Productions took over and started messing with the gameworld in a way that scared off a lot of the german fans. Storywise, these games had quite a bit to offer, as well: They give an adequate impression of the northern part of the gaming-world and I would have loved to see other parts of Aventuria come to life on the computer as well. They eventually did, but only much later: The Drakensang series, is, as far as I am concerned, an even better adaption. It's less hardcore but still very true to the orginal gaming world - and therefore highly recommended.
