I sure did fire the game up, and I was impressed with the amount and quality of text on the offer. Sure, it’s the same clues and side quests as in comparable games, but the way the prose is character driven and introduces you to the setting (and/or references it) I find impressive!
I felt the urge to reach for the notebook and the pencil pretty much right away and now having visited the first town on the way to Krondor (cool town music!) I’m afraid the game might be getting its hooks into me..
I’m continuing to wonder how carefully I was reading all the text 30 years ago! Some of the scenes I certainly remember, such as the intro and the first few encounters on the road, but I didn’t remember the characters and conversations in the first town, although I certainly remember the “menu town” screen itself.
