Finally - Someone Gets it Right

[Axel Cleavage]

Congratulations Basilisk Games! While this comment will clearly date me - I want to say, "Thank You". Not since Lord British and the Ultima series have I found a FRPG that I have been happy with. I think you understand that it is not all about stunning graphics and 50+ memorized variations of key combinations for success but rather it is about the story, the puzzles, and the freedom to venture off script. I love it!

My only requests: Regeneration of wild monsters (wolves, rats, etc.) as I don't think I should be able to cause extinction and two - how about the ability to have characters join you and thus form a party.

Overall - Great, I have not played Book I, but I think I will while I await Book III. Stay the course - in my book you are the new Lord British.

Welcome "home," Axel.

In Eschalon, the only respawning is during rest. Think of it as the creatures have learned to avoid you if you aren't sleeping.

Check out http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/. Their game is 'similar' to BW's and it uses the party system.

Eschalon engine and general gameplay idea are just great!
I just hope it will be constantly upgraded with new ideas....and new scenarios ;>

I think it could even handle a s-f RPG.
Eschalon: STARGATE system - with open editor that allows fan made "planets" or smth like that
