To answer a post in the linux forum, I installed he game on my 64bits Ubuntu to confirm it works like a charm so I just had the perfect excuse to play it again.
So much easier this time. I did play an atheist wizard, which prove to be soooooo coooll vs poltergeist to collect ectoplasm
Ok I knew it all so I did not lose any skills points, cartography, sword, divination, light armor, etc etc bought or I waited for the correct book to come by. (OK, I also reload quite often chest and drop but that was my second time
)So I have some remarks. first of all this game is so good you can replay it with pleasure even if indeed it is a small world. Some remarks that have probably been given already.
Spells are not quite properly balanced, compress atmosphere or supernova are so very consuming !! (but a potion of invisibility III + several mana fortify + 7 to 8 Mana III and you kill all the spire guards almost without the need of the incinerator fuel
)So you finish to kill all the taurax with fire dart 6 !!
Hide in shadow is too powerful. While hidden in shadow, I can kill anything they are just circling around me and receving damage without ever trying to attack me !! If I fail the hidden in shadow once, I just move a square and even in the middle of the desert I will be hidden again. And my skill was only 3 pts at the beginning + prowler armor + 2 points from the book so 9 points. While my elemental was 31 !!
It is even better than the invisibility potion, a taurax will attack me at 5% when I am invisible and not even try to attack me if hidden in shadow.
I think this is it. I was very fun again to play. I did use the reload often which allow me to discover quite a lot of new stuff. Oh no. my last remark is about arrows. I was a ranger last time. And I was running for gold just to buy arrows and they are also very heavy
This time no arrow almost no money problem. Especially after my first brewmaster ring, which allow me to gain money making life 3 potion Thanks again Thomas. I am even more impatient to see Book II now.
). BW i have been spreading the word everywhere to try this game!
