Excidium
P. banal
I think people are just dumb if they have problems with the BaK interface. It's very intuitive, has huge icons, pretty pictures, equipment slots, lengthy descriptions...Just compare it to the other games of that time.Wyrmlord said:Topic derail:
One could dream that Betrayal at Krondor being marketed through GoG and retrogaming sites would have shot the game's popularity through the roof, caused new mods to be released for it (especially by Feist fans correcting the lore and adjusting/adding quests accordingly), and perhaps gotten Feist eager enough to support a new sequel or Krondor game in the exact style as Betrayal at Krondor.
Apart from this view being unrealistic on my part, what has happened is not even remotely close. People who have bought or played the game very recently seem to play no more than two to five minutes and give up, after not understanding how the interface works and not being able to find a manual with their download. They complain about the movement, and although that is easily fixed by tinkering with the options, it may have been better to get the settings adjusted already in package. And they probably seem to have played the awful floppy version with the rotating maps, instead of the CD version with the fixed map.
I am not blaming anybody for anything. I am just saying I wished some more people got to see a game that I really loved a lot. And I am really not one for the silly "Don't throw pearls at swine" argument.
What do you guys think?
Their loss I guess...
