Difficulty doesn't affect combat, it only affects the % success help info you get.
If you mean the interface in combat/exploration mode then yes. It is very bad. Interface during other parts of the game (party creation, or travel - very nice map with changing seasons) was ok. What is worse than interface however is how slow the characters are moving. It makes exploring castles or mines painful instead of enjoyable.Awor Szurkrarz said:The interface is quite cumbersome for a computer game.
I doubt many people here have played it back then. I played it for the first time a year ago and I loved it.Gregz said:I'm certain those of you who played it 'back in the day' loved it then, and the memories you have are why you still love it today, but it has aged terribly.
I never got into any mines. I was mostly exploring cities and the wilderness, killing thugs and robbers and stuff like that, which was quite enjoyable. I guess, I haven't experienced the bad part of the game, then.Gregz said:Like the OP, I saw a lot of fanboyism here for DL, so I took the time to install, learn how to create a proper party, and spent approximately 6 hours in play before quitting. (Inside one of the dungeons for the dwarf mine quest). Movement, and interface were what killed this game for me. I love sandbox RPGs, but I'd take Daggerfall (closest analogue of the period I can think of) over this game any day simply because the gameplay and interface is far less cumbersome.

So let me start this bitch up : Darkland is shit, real time with pause shit, old DOS shit, bad interface, no point in the fucking game, running around killing bandids for mollah how stimulating is that, it's a stat grind, sell potions and win game kind of bullshit, no one gives a shit, everything's repetitive, they put fantasy in because of lazy writing and boring rpg tropes, etc etc.
So how does that make you feel? Are you angry? Frustrated? Tell me about your feelings.
I want a counter-point to every of those, chop chop
