Just wanted to drop this video essay/narrated playthrough (not really a Let's Play) about the best CRPG ever made (tied with Disco, ofc). This channel makes them for a lot of popular RPGs and obscure Fallout mods. He's very thorough, so it's going to spoil the entire game, but if you've already played it, I thought it was interesting to get someone else's thoughts on things.

oh nice. I really loved this game and I remember liking a video by this guy about jagged alliance 2. It'll be interesting to see if the games holds up based on this video.

I really enjoyed that game. The UI leaves a lot to be desired as a game player in the 2020s but the story and art are top notch. If anyone is thinking of playing it, do it - max wis and to a lesser extent int and you can talk your way through all the toughest combat encounters. The combat is stupid anyway, find out what can change the nature of a man with brute wisdom.

There's also a planescape "book" that is basically an extraction and consolidation of all the text descriptions and dialogue in the game. It is a bit awkward as a novel but it is cool because it's literally all the text from the game.

Surprisingly few uses of the TOOOOOOOOOORMENT line in this video.

He also misses a whole companion. They are optional and a little out of the way, but still.

Or "Updated my journal" for that matter
