Here's another game that i vaguely remember playing a long time ago, all because i remembered the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loading screens.

No beating around the bush, this game did not age well at all, the gameplay is so outdated it affects the difficulty by itself, some enemies are also constantly spamming heal abilities. Storyline is so easily forgettable with a out of nowhere last second plot twist where it turns out you were accidentally helping the villain. I find it very strange that people think this is "underrated", it does hit that old school RPG charm, but nostalgia should never be a games saving grace. The "DLC" Flames Of Vengeance is supposedly meant to fix the rushed original ending, but i don't think it really matters anyways.

It's very impressive how Larian managed to vastly improve from this to Divinity Original Sin, and then eventually Baldur's Gate 3. They managed to actually learn from their mistakes and know what works and what doesn't.

old skool game is good

This game still holds up many years later! The best dragon transformation world changing choices matter RPG from 2012 money can buy!
