Tags: Eschalon: Book IGamebanshee has posted a review of Eschalon: Book I, praising the game's core mechanics but lamenting a number of flaws. Here's a paragraph about one of them:
Another annoyance is the burden of long distance travel in the game. You spend a lot of your daytime hours—the only period when I, at least, could actually see much of what was going on—wandering to and from quest sites, to town shops, and back. The presence of teleportal locations help somewhat, but they were far too few. And invariably, when I left a spot in a complex, winding dungeon, it was difficult to remember exactly my way back, or important features along the way that I wanted to recall, later. The ability to notate via the automap function would have greatly assisted this.It took all my self control to quote a piece that was actually about Eschalon, rather than the first three paragraphs, which brought a tear to my eye.
