Oh... wow. That changes from time to time. Right now, I'm seriously miffed at Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance. It starts with the robbed and left naked premise, which makes no sense when you're supposedly a butt-kicking warrior type who can off tall Ogres with a single bash of your morningstar. It has the requisite cellar in the Inn that hooks in to the
sewers that hooks in to everything else in the world (find a new idea, please). The major insult, however, comes just as the dungeon crawl is picking up a bit of interest: They bring in this arcade type jump-fast-or-die level, with no means of by-passing the jumping thing. I hate that. Seems like the designers at Bioware could do much better.
::shrug:: she teaches game design at the local community college, btw. Again, I have never touched the game, so I am just quoting.
