I spent a few hours dealing with mods required to make this game work properly with minimal bugs and on a widescreen. Well it didn't work well for me and my frame rate was terrible. But I still gave it 5 starts because the story was so damn good. It took a couple of hours to get used to reading a few pages of text every time you talk to a sprite, whether they are an important character or not. However, this mountain of text eventually paints a picture more exciting and imaginative than the best graphics ever could. This game takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and satisfies in every way. I also really liked that you could change class at any time didn't have to reload every time you or a party member died like in similar games such as Baldur's Gate. Anyone who hasn't played this game simply must.
I remember bringing friends over to my house when I was 9 or 10 and showing all the death scenes from this game. They were certainly scarier when I was a child. My favorite has to be when Zoltan smashes his wife's head into the wine bottle. Classic. Replaying the game brought a nostalgic smile to my face despite its flaws. The story isn't great but the cut scenes are still worth a play through. PS. Adrienne is a babe.
I like to solve as much of an adventure game as possible without using online help. There were countless times during this game that I spent hours driving from place to place trying to figure out what to do. When I eventually caved and checked a walk-through my response was always the same. "How could I possible have known to do that." The great adventures make you feel smart when you think of the solution to a puzzle. This game just makes you feel stupid for trying to figure it out for yourself. However I will say that I found the story to be very interesting and the twist and the end is well worth playing through the entire game. So I do recommend playing the game, just go straight to a FAQ when you get stuck.
