PoR Impressions

Looks like RPGDot has put up their first impressions of Pool of Radiance: RoMD, citing many of the same concerns other people have around the web.

I will add one thing here, though. Many of these reviews and impressions around the web are coming from people who haven't actually played the game past the initial dungeons. I really feel that the game starts to shine after you start adventuring through the outdoor areas of Myth Drannor, but as of yet I haven't seen a message board post or (p)review that talks about these areas. Nobody seems to mention some of the more exciting things about the game, like when you enter the Freth Drow Treasure Archive, when you lay siege to Castle Cormanthor, or when you pull the Draedsword Daemoniac from its tomb. These are the things that make up the finer points of the game, in my opinion.
