Game questions!

Post by Stilgar »

I just saw a small movie of the game, what kind of game is this?
A sort of Turnbased BG?
And is it more rollplaying and talking(PST) or more battle(IWD), or a good balance(BG2?)

I ahve no idea what to expect, and since i cant find the demo anywhere, i'm not sure if i want to buy it.
I do not have the touch, nor do I have the power.

Combat is turn based - and it is a pretty darn good translation of how pen and paper D&D works. The turn based combat is the best part of the game.

The game has a good background story - it is a literal reproduction of the classic D&D pnp module T1-4. You can play with a party of up to five characters that you create - and you can add up to three NPCs. Don't expect party interactions and dialogue like in BGII however. TOEE uses a blend of 3.0 and 3.5 rules. It is at its core a big dungeon crawl with loads of combat.

I would say it is most similar to IWD II in the mix of story and combat. The game has some bugs - but a patch is on the way. If some of the major bugs are fixed I would say it is worth picking up - if you are a fan of combat strategy - then this game is very good.
