So how the game was meant to be in the first place? ^_~

Yep, definitely something that owners of the original game should not have to pay for, and as I say in my [url="http://www.gamerdad.com/detail.cfm?itemID=3139"]review[/url].... not as good as I figured it would be once they sorted everything out.

It's still pretty fun. Lags up a bit if you summon monsters too much -.-' (Stupid me summoning 50 minotaurs just to fight rats...)


All in all if you have a really good computer you won't have much trouble.

It seems to me the game balance was tweaked too. New characters start with less items, and the encounters are fewer and harder to win ... making the first part of the game more challenging, and slower to race through. I don't recall what my original was, but my fighter started with a full set of equipment, even shoulders, a bow, and a full pack of arcane books, runes, crystals, the whole nine yards. The CE new fighter had a BP and a sword ... that's it. I turned up the number of random encounters just to equip him better to start, but that really made the sewers a nuisance; long past the point when hordes of goblins were easy, I could barely take a step without a new group jumping me. The original, I got to town in one casual evening; I have only just got the CE, so the jury is out on that, but I suspect it won't go anywhere near so fast.

The spawn rate has increased from what it was in earlier versions. 6 or 8 new items, 2 or 3 spells fixed, lots of trees and bushes that just get in your way, etc. Nothing anywhere near the cost of buying 1.5. I got it simply to find out, and am truly sorry to have bought it.
