Did you guys play the 3rd one at all. I rememebr it was a big deal when we finally got it but I don't seem to remember anyone playing it? I have no idea what this series is like.
It was fun. I never got as far as I wanted to, due to time constraints at the time, but I plan to go through it, as soon as I'm done with a couple other games I'm working on at the moment. The controls are simple, but the movement takes a little while to get used to. There are tons of items, spells, people to talk to, side tasks, etc. The world is HUGE, and you can go pretty much anywhere you want by multiple modes of travel. Though some places can only be reached certain ways. There are tons of places that are just there, and only serve to up your level, or hold secret items too, so you don't have to go everywhere, but it pays to explore. The graphics are still pretty good even now, though they are aging a bit. I was actually even thinking about starting from the DOS games, and working my way through the whole series. I hear they are all very good.
