An outstanding gem of a German RPG, I used to play this game a lot back when it was released, and always recall those times with great fondness. It has a very special and distinctive charm to it, and decent variety in terms of actual RPG elements, such as unique storylines tied to your player character's class and origin, and different approaches to solving certain issues that arise during your adventure. Battles and exploration are paced out evenly, and there's a myriad of fun little sidequests to do that help you feel immersed in the game. I also liked all the party characters, they feel like such a staple RPG party archetypes, but not in a bad way at all. Highly recommended for those seeking out a comfy classic RPG experience.

The game is good, sadly you have to jump trough hoops to get it running. Also the DLC isn't rate - so no buying it in Germany. Added to that the original Language (German) isn't here. Really a shame.

Wonderful bit of creativity. A whole lot of good intentions and low and behold they are no more. It is a great game sorry to see them gone.

Very solid old school RPG. I would even say it is a "hidden gem". The writing is brillant and intelligent. Music excellent. Graphics for 2010 very good, actually I like the graphics more than DAO. Combat can be a little clunky, it is RTWP (Real Time With Pause). But after some fights you know how it is done. There are lots of spells and skills to choose from, so there is some variety to combat. Game is quite hard sometimes, even for me as a seasoned RPG player. Overall, a very solid and often funny experience (the dialogues have a very distinct dry humour). Runs well on Linux / Proton / Steam. On sale, a clear recommendation!
