My thoughts are quite similar to the two guys above me, though I give it an 8. A very enjoyable game of which I wish there were more of these days. As stated, a little light on the dialogue side and the fighting could do with a little more extra's. Anyway, it isn't an Arcanum, but what is? Will defi...

I cannot believe people have suggested Demons Winter and Death Lord...oh well, to each his own I guess. I found both to be horribly boring, not to mention buggy (C64 versions anyway) and mechanically poor, and better than Ultima 5? Yikes! Wasteland I loved. Dragon wars was very good. Ultima 5, brill...

I say stick with solo.

The entire engine would need rewriting, and how long would that take? Book 2 in 3 years time or something? Stick with solo say I. A party based game could be incorporated in the next saga if Bas decides to create one.

I went with option 1. Unless there are story elements that need to have a party, or a different viewpoint, then just building on what there already is would be fine. Changing everything radically can be for any later saga's if that is what you have planned.
