I didn't play this GOG version. But It was love at first sight. I don't understand why everyone bashes this game, that's probably because i never played the games that came before. This game provided you with an epic adventure, with mystery, magic, and a realistic medieval world. You could even consider house yours to keep and store your items in there. ( They would be there forever ) Kinda like the Elder Scrolls. The Story is great and keeps you sucked in. I get that it probably strived too much from the Ultima Franchise, but if you look at it outside the box, outside de fan aspect, It really is a Gem, try it.
