Comments: This is one of the few RPGs that I have played that drew me into the story and where I found myself attached to the characters I encountered. My favorite is Linu La'neral who has some very amusing dialog, especially in chapter 2. I would have preferred a first-person perspective, but that is not an option. Some of the henchmen dialog is simply not appropriate for children. This is a very good implementation of the AD&D rules and is set in the Forgotten Realms. Multiplayer support is good and the game is very stable. Additional purchasable content and much free content is available on-line. This is an excellent game. -AC
