Is it good or something? So far reviews seem mixed, a bit like people will probably play through it once or twice then leave it?

'ToEE's other major shortcoming is that its storytelling is somewhat lacking. (...) You occasionally talk with creatures you encounter in the temple, but it's rare and the story seems to progress pretty much the same way no matter what you do. (...) It's not as minimal as Diablo or Dungeon Siege, but it's definitely short of other RPGs like Baldur's Gate or Morrowind.' (gamespy)

damn, big disappointment for me. I counted on ToEE in this respect :( what do you guys think about it?

I sat a couple of hours yesterday and I'm slowly biginning to like it, but I'm only at the Moat house. Damn, that viper looked good! Battles are almost as tedious as pnp. :D
Conversation seems a bit lacking yes, but I don't think it was meant to be another PT or something.
The most annoying to me so far are those messenger boy "quests".

Troika should have done a remake, not a copy of ToEE.

A dungeon crawl with stats and gear to play with. A smattering of choices.

Remake of what?



Anyways the game was really buggy and had poor performance for me. I also took it upon myself to learn all the nook and crannies of the character system. God I hate DnD.
