Hilariously, you both missed the grammar mistake in that very same sentence at almost the exact same spot.

That having now been said, I don't find this review very relevant. I would really like it if you could convince me more that Baldur's Gate whatever is something that I should be interested in reading about.

Despite your open wish for my demise, I will accept your apology. I'll also say that while the review convincingly covers the game's basic, I feel the focus of the first half is all on a story that, really, is just there to give you an excuse to slaughter more things (that you pretend is me) and then, when the review progresses, that focus is lost and you become quite vague. I would like to hear more on the other classes, what they actually are, an what their abilities are and how they all ineract.

Some good advice there from Zipp and my friend/nemesis Stuffl. In the interest of RotW fairness, I will act on nothing until the results are up.

This seems like as good a place as any to plug the modern reimagining of the Bard's Tale (2004 I think it was) for a solid single player experience using the same mechanics as the Dark Alliances, the Norraths etc. It had me in stitches, at least. *shrug*

One of these days, I might have to look up that Bard's Tale game. I remember thinking it looked interesting when it came out, but I never got around to picking it up.

Made a few minor alterations. Didn't feel like any ambitious revamping, but hopefully at least kinda addressed some issues people mentioned.

Thank you for that critique, ASchultz. Very in-depth and helpful to me. To address a couple of points.
