Any actual advantage in-game apart from the Harper messages?
I thought they did the GB games together? But, yes, SSI.TSR doing what cuckfinder:bloatmaker did 30+ years later with a better plot, better NPCs, better NPC romance and less hardware raping.
Don't you mean SSI?
Curse of the Azure Bonds was based on the eponymous novel by Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb, published in late 1988, and Grubb himself collaborated with SSI's project lead George MacDonald on both the structure of the computer game and on adventure module FRC2 Curse of the Azure Bonds, which was published in April 1989, three months before the computer game hit the stores.TSR was only directly involved in designing with Pool of Radiance.
That makes sense. I did think Curse was a lot more 'railroaded' than Pool of Radiance, which was quite open ended, and more like a tabletop game presentation (There are quests on the billboard, just a bunch of adventurers, etc). I know it had a book after the games release.
Were there even any novels out in the forgotten realms before PoR? That whole game had a sense of being made up from scratch using just the tabletop world, without many preconceived notions, whereas later games seemed to be strait jacketed into their respective novels world with less room to move. I know the Dragon Lance games came after the novels, but I am not sure about the Savage Frontier, although 'Aminitas' seems to have a whiff of 'Famous Mage in Realm' about him, kind of like a befuddled Elminster/Gandalf type.
Ignore above post; I emailed Joonas who rescued my save file and thus my adventuring life. I actually didn't realize he also posted here, so now I'm sorta embarrassed!!
(Thanks again! )
I can take a look if you mail me the save and describe the problem. (joonas.hirvonen@pp.inet.fi)Mind slinging that fix my way? I'm playing the series with my old man, it's his favorite RPG series ever, and we just ran into this problem. I scoured the Internet and could only find this forum post. Thank you so much in advance!
Thanks everyone, you're all so friendly!
