Not my first time in the realm of Nosgoth through the eyes of Kain and wont be the last. The game is just at good at story telling as any of the later titles. There are some odd design choices to things like enemies in dungeons after 1st death become ghosts that heal mana instead of health, and items can become rare if playing badly in some areas. Just remember the game does show its age, so take time and it will all be worth it.
