Advantages: Storyline, leveling up

Disadvantages: fighting system

This is one of my favorite RPG games for the computer ever made. I have had such a good time playing this, from beginning to end.

This game starts with a blimp crash and a man telling you something, and the point of the game is to decipher his meaning. Throughout the game you meet all different types of people, some good, and some evil. The best part is that there is a meter for your character that measures whether you are evil or not, and that determines what you can do and who will talk to you. This makes the game that much more intricate and exciting.

The leveling-up system is really intricate. You only get a certain amount of point during the game, and must use them wisely. There are so many stats you can level up and magic you can learn. My favorite is the stealing stat, because then you can steal from merchant's inventory without them knowing. The better you are at something, the better of a chance you have at not failing.

The fighting system is really nothing to write home about, as it is very basic. Really you can either use magic or attack. The armor and weapons although do have a great system. Most weapons have different attributes and different attack power and attack speed.

I always say that a good RPG is based on its story line, and that is true with this game. Since it is magic based, the story line could be a little hard to follow, but pay attention! There are so many great quotes in this game, and you can learn a lot.

Summary: My opinion of the game.
