Cipher
I am only half-way, rough estimation, through MOW but I felt tempted to post a bit of praise for the game, cause I think it deserves it...
At first I was sceptical about the module, but now I feel that it deseves every Euro I spent. It teaches how a world should be built and it clearly blows away the OC and SOZ. MOB is a very different beast so I am not going to compare it. Gameplay - wise though it is much more enjoyable than the core game and the two expansions. It has challenging battles, realistic (at last!) loot, good writing and it doesn't feel like an arcade.
My opinion could change once I complete it, but I wouldn't think so...
Atari fucked - up Ossian for good on this one. If it was released about 2 years earlier as scheduled then these guys would probably have more time to please us with a second module by now. A real pitty but it is understandable given that it is miles ahead SOZ...
A quick-tip: Play in Strategy mode, puppet-mode, free - camera to actually enjoy it. Anything else simply does not work.
Quick Pros
+ Engaging, interesting story.
+ Challenging battles.
+ Realistic world where you have to fight for your gold.
Quick Cons
- Dreadful camera.
Do not be discouraged by gamebanshee's review. It hardly does it any justice.
