Firstly, virtually no story or interaction of any kind - not rpg, just hack and slash. Second, number of game-breaking bugs, including the bosses you need to kill at the end of each island to continue sometimes don't spawn so you cannot proceed. Ever! You need to wait for the patch to fix it. Very disappointed by the quality of this DLC.
As someone who played AD&D through the 90s and pretty much every computer RPG since, this is THE best translation from the tabletop game to computer I've come across. All the tone and feel is there and the storyline so far has been excellent. Very atmospheric and tactical, with that extra bit of chance livening things up. I highly recommend this.
Excellent game in the style of baldar's gate. Rules are more advanced than most of this style of game so suits higher end RPGers than those wanting a hack'n'slash. Storyline and mix of dungeon crawler with city builder really worked for me and I cared about all elements of the game. The alignment system was far better than normal and more flexible for non-LG builds. I would certainly recommend this game and having finished both Bard's Tale 4 and this game in the past month, this one is far superior!
Really enjoyed this and not as hard as people say. Standard rules for Risen, etc - don't think you are invulnerable and can kick butt from the start. Begin slow and build up - loved the mix of magic, tech and weapons!
I played Pirates back in the early 90s and that was far superior to this game! I'm actually surprised at the good reviews as the play was clunky, unstable and just plain annoying. I like the concept of a free range game where you can head anywhere but I just didn't have the experience I was hoping for. I bought both expansions and while they were improved, still uninstalled and added to my hide list. Good luck if you buy this one!
