For a low budget silly little thing it turned out to be not half bad. I probably wouldn't play it if I had a life, but well.... The main plot is pretty bad.From the other hand, there is a lot of good storytelling hidden in it. Destroyed villages and cultures, some suggested relationships between characters, various routes.Still, though, it's too basic as far as the writing goes. Good humans, evil goblins (they are evil = they torture people), great war between nations, the main hero with amnesia. There are some role-playing choices, but not too many. In most of the cases you can either accept a quest or refuse it (what gives you no value whatsoever), threaten someone to give you more money (which almost never works) and basically you can only choose between being an annoying a s s hole or a good guy. When you get actual choices, it get's quite interesting. But generally speaking, I don't think you should play Eschalon: Book I for its writing. As far as the gameplay goes, it has A LOT of walking and some cool strategic fights with strong RNG elements. The basics are very strong, but there are some details that provide issues or don't work well with each other. Some abilities are overall useless, while others are very significant. Most of the strategic value seems to be addressed toward melee characters - I played as a ranger and while I used a bow, there were a lot of enemies that were very punishing (even exploding) when they were dying next to you. Some of this depth vanishes when you can keep a large distance.Magic in this game is great. Various spells are focused on utility and even a fighter should play around with some basics spells during its adventures. It has some The Elder Scrolls vibe, but I found myself needing to use spells in this game much more. Also, you never reach the point of becoming hilariously overpowered aside of the very end of the game, where it gets rewarding and satisfying. At the same time, the character creation was quite pleasant. You can screw yourself in many ways if you don't know which skills are strong and which aren't, but it's nothing like the oldest TES games where you were spending half an hour reading everything. The only problem is the "roll your stats" elements. I hope the sequels avoided it. It's a 5/10 game. 6/10 if you like RPGs, 7/10 if you like open world RPGs, 8/10 if you absolutely don't care about bad story. I'm definitely going to play the first sequel next.. If you like old school single character RPGs than Eschalon is exactly what you're looking for. It's 2-D slightly skewed perspective is reminiscent of the later Ultima games, while the character development is more on par with a Baldur's Gate game, allowing you to choose which skills and spells to improve as you level. The story is simple but effective, and you consistantly feel there is a purpose to your actions, propeling you on to the next area or quest. It's simple old school fun in an RPG, and it works. Eschalon Books I and II provide hours of entertaining gameplay and are recommended for anyone looking for that early 90's feel from an RPG.. I bought the trilogy of this at 50% off and I'm still playing the first FREE episode after more than 14 hours. Totally engrossing, it has blown me away. Yes the graphics are dog turd but the gameplay and story progression together with the large open world put the majority of more modern RPGs to shame. Also the difficulty and balancing are spot on and I am told by reliable sources that Eschalon only gets better with each chapter. AAA developers could learn a lot from this. Highly recommended.. A good old school RPG, but very challenging.. I can only recommend this game to people who are extremely patient, forgiving of an uninteresting plot that has been done countless times, want to play either as a mage or fighter, and have absolutely nothing else to do with their time.The majority of the time I played this game, my character was walking. Endlessly walking and walking and walking. There are a few fast travel points in the game world, but only a few, and you will frequently find yourself fast traveling back to town to heal or sell items only to spend ten minutes walking back to where you were. Enemies and loot don't respawn, so the trek back is just boring.When night falls, everything is pitch black, and unless you have a light source, you end up blindly clicking around hoping that your character is moving somewhere. You can't just wait for night to end, because time only progresses when your character moves or performs an action. You could try resting to skip through the night, but if you're in a confined area when night falls, you might not have enough room to pitch your tent. There's also a chance that you'll get ambushed by bandits while you're resting, which is really a problem when you rest in order to replenish your health and mana.You can't use maps unless you put points into the Cartography skill. One point in Cartography lets you draw crude outlines of trees and buildings. Five points in and you can finally draw roads and water. Unfortunately, your maps don't retroactively update when you put more points in Cartography. You have to walk over the same area again to redraw the map. If you use a potion or spell to temporarily boost your Cartography skill, once the effect wears off, the fine quality map you had becomes overwritten by the crude map representing your actual skill. In other words, in this game, Cartography isn't the skill of drawing maps on paper. It's the skill of memorizing maps in your head.It's not viable to make a character who uses a bow and arrows as their primary weapon. Enemies take a large number of arrows to defeat, causing you to constantly go back to town to buy more arrows. This means that you're constantly broke, as well as annoyed that you keep having to fast travel to town and then walk back to where you were.I completed the game using a mage type character. In the beginning of the game, mana recharges very slowly, and fights with minor NPCs take at least ten minutes to finish. Fighting in this game involves kiting around an enemy waiting for your mana to recharge before you can cast another firebolt, hopefully killing the enemy so you can get on with your life. Kiting is necessary because you only get so many health potions in this game, resting might cause you to get ambushed, and fast traveling to town to rest is annoying on account of how long it takes you to get back.When your stats are high enough to support a reasonable mana recharge rate, combat is still boring. I ended up doing the same thing every time - apply buffs, close in on enemy, swing axe until it's dead, repeat. Cast a healing spell if I lose health.I'm only speculating that it's plausible to use a fighter type character to complete the game. When magic isn't involved, fights are basically statistical matches. If you have better stats and equipment than your opponent, you'll probably hit harder and more often than they will and win the fight. So a fighter is probably destined to either win or lose every time they enter combat.A fog of war covers each section of the world map, and you have to walk through every square inch of it to see what's hidden beneath. You never know where anything worth investigating is until you've wasted lots of time slogging through empty space.Locked chests and doors can be broken into with your weapons. I actually like this feature, but there are a couple of problems with it. The first problem is that in many situations, your weapon will only inflict 1% of damage to a locked chest or door per hit, and your weapon loses durability as you use it. In other words, you could spend two minutes trying to break through a chest and lose your weapon only to find an inferior item within. Magic can also be used to break through chests and doors, but since mana recharges over time, you're always guaranteed to be able to break through a locked chest or door if you spend enough time pacing back and forth waiting for your mana to recharge so you can keep casting destructive spells. There should really be an option to tell your character to keep doing that until they've broken through, and skip that amount of time. As it is, it's just an enormous waste of time.Another mechanic of the game I liked is how light affects hit chances. If you or an enemy is illuminated, they're easier to hit, and if you or an enemy is in darkness, they're harder to hit. It's possible to position yourself so that an enemy has to stand partially in light, while you're concealed in darkness, thus giving yourself an accuracy advantage.The time progression mechanic (time moves when you move) is also pretty cool, and lends itself to better strategic planning during fights (even if it's just figuring out the best way to kite around an enemy). It also lets you take more time to think about what your next move is, or even take a break.But these few positive notes aren't enough for me to consider recommending this to anyone. I personally wish I had those 49 hours of my life back. I could have been doing something better. Like reading. Or knitting. Or wrestling an alligator.. Holy♥♥♥♥♥♥there are a lot of trees. Everything wants to kill you, and most of it can.. My play time (16 hours) is what you will spend on one playthrough without much grinding and if you know what to do and were to go. As long as I know this game by heart (played it long time ago), it was just a refresher before playing Book 2-3 and Balrum. If you expect to try different builds in Book games please consider to go with warrior in this Book as next Books will add useful additional content and mechanics to test your healer and mage. Performance.Flawless as usual :) My OS is Linux - Debian 9 x64. This game is what we can call a true Linux port. works as expected, no issues found. It uses somehow limited screen resolution 800x600 (blends well with game old style look and feel) so make sure to select fullscreen and use 4:3\/5:4 screen if you have one instead of widescreen to keep original picture.10\/10 highly recommended! it's a real gem, and it's your lucky day to find this game FREE.

They were ♥♥♥♥♥♥ because the smarmy morning show hosts and their sidekicks that laughed at everything they said were annoying and asked ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ questions. And also because I had just woken up since they called me as early as they possibly could. If I remember right though, I got calls from New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Seattle. The LA guys were actually considering flying me out there to "kick someone's♥♥♥♥♥on the air", but I have no idea how that would've worked. I guess that's my 15 minutes of fame. Posted by Bonk on March 18, 2007 Updating for recent confirmation. Henry Rollins answers a good portion of fan mail through his website, so I recently sent him an e-mail to confirm this. He responded that his role of "Mr. Jericho" on the Drew Carey Show was in fact inspired by my auction, and that they showed it to him when he appeared on set.
