A Wonderfully great game trapped in another Terrible, terrible game.
Ah Temple of Elemental Evil. And also: -UGH- Temple of Elemental Evil. No other game deserves High praise in quality and also be told that it stinks. To understand how a game can be so good -and- so terrible you must picture the game being created by two people: Adam the smart, and Joe the Idiot. You begin the game creating your own D&D party. Everything you could expect from D&D 3.5 is there! Customization is at your fingertips! But its here that Joe the Idiot strikes, without you knowing! If you ever played a D&D game you know about Character Alignment. Good, Neutral, Evil, Chaotic, and Lawful. Most D&D games pay very little attention to this, with a few Dialogue changing because your character is good or evil. But not in Temple of Elemental Evil, Oh no! They'll have none of that! Alignment changes how your party may start the game, but after that it doesn't matter! You quickly fight your Lawful Good Paladin figuring out a bunch of Merchants have been selling out the town and are in fact evil, has the Dialogue choice of "Pay me 50 gold and I'll look the other way." Truly my Paladin brings Justice to the world. Ah, but Idiot Joe isn't done with you there. He's got game breaking bugs to leave into the game. Characters getting stuck into walls! Idiot Joe can't be bothered to fix these stuff on himself. Patches come only from Fans of the game. That's right! You paid for the game, only you should be allowed to fix it! Just when the terrible Dialogue, and all the bugs have pretty much drained your soul away, and your about to give the game a 1 star black spot on the shame of D&D games, your attacked by two giant frogs... ...And Idiot Joe is Slapped away by Adam the smart. Suddenly your characters don't get stuck in walls or floors anymore! It runs like a dream! A Wonderful Tactical game has suddenly loaded on to your computer, replacing that mean old nasty Temple of Elemental Evil you were just playing. Combat may be a bit tough at times, but its ever so rewarding to overcome the difficulties in front of you. But just as combat ends the control of the game has been given back to Idiot Joe again. Do you dare attempt to go through -MORE- of his stupidity by continuing the story? Hell no! Head for the forest for random Encounters! There have been plenty of Fan made patches that may fix most of the bugs that plague this could be Diamond of a game. But quite frankly I don't know why they just don't rip out the combat system and stick it on they're own Module. They're pretty much having to re-make the game over again anyway! If you looking for a game like Baldur's Gate or Planescape, Stay the Heck away from this game. You will find no Intellect talking to the NPCs of this world. But if what your looking for is a good Hack and slash Tactical adventure and don't give a damn about what the plot or the NPC say because your going to just skip it and demand to be pointed to the nearest Gnoll to slay, This game is a must for you. To the Combat of Temple of Elemental Evil I give a full 5/5 stars. To the REST of the game I give 1/5 stars. I guess that makes the game a 3 star game on Average. No matter how great the combat is (And it is great!) having such a mess of everything else in the game is no excuse. Full 5 stars should be saved for games that can do both of these things right.
