Nethergate: Resurrection

I bought this on sale expecting a mildly interesting half-hour or so satisfying my curiosity about Jeff's very early games. I wasn't expecting to play the whole thing. Even in its embryonic form, the addictive magic of the Avernum series (and this is very much an Avernum-like, far more than any of his other series) kicked in and that was that. Obviously, it has its weaknesses compared to later games. The most glaring is that there's no "click to move here" pathfinding; you have to move step by painful step, and in some situations e.g. dense forests this can be excruciating. The world map is severely lacking, as is the quest log and explanation of many game mechanics. But it still has the satisfying combat and munchkin-bait item collection we know and love, and the knack of subtly ordering things so that difficulty feels hand-tuned without making you feel railroaded. Plus it loads instantly and runs on a potato. If you've never played a Spiderweb game, I wouldn't start here. (Personally the Avernum series are my faves, but tastes vary. ) But if you're already a fan, this is well worth a look.

I'm blown away by this game, very good writing and surprisingly accessible for an RPG from this era. Real Rome-heads out there do yourselves a favor and pick this one up.
