Man I got it for the PC a few years ago and like you said Spathi, it has lost it's shine. Still fun though. One thing that has kinda bugged me a bit about this game is that, in EoB your Rouge/Thief has a lockpick, but in this game you don't. That made me pretty much not pick a rouge my second time playing.

Yeah lock picking was a good mechanic, maybe it gets hard finding lockpicks, I forget, but it was something extra to do.

I vaguely remember hording scrolls as well. and was there detect trap and stuff, I forget, but you thief would warn your with enough XP about traps and hidden doors... unless it was another game.

Oh god yeah. I think with a rouge you started out with two or something like that. I would always break them about 20 minutes into the game on the third floor or something like that. I never did beat it, but when I was playing it was just so damn difficult.

I am a huge fan of the EotB saga. i played them originaly in a Comodore Amiga600HD dozens of times, in fact i have just finish another adventure of EotB2 last month!, lol. :D
I am 43 yo and i think i played the first one 3,4 months after it's release for the amiga! i got hooked instantly :mrgreen:

I just love the game environment! I think i had same nightmares with MindFlyers & Dran Draggore the first time i played... :lol:

Legend of Skullkeep was amazing, yet so freaking hard. I honestly never finished either of the games, but I really want to go back and see if I can do it now.

I'm not so sure about that. I would say somewhere in the high 20s here on the forums.
And since most players haven't registered here, I would say the average age of actual players is probably low to mid 20s.

EOB2: Legend of Darkmoon, for me the best rpg ever. Perhaps because it was my first touch wit this genre. Of course later I went back and played through the whole trilogy transfering characters from one sequel to anotther. Three great games but EOB2 stands out. For me it was close to perfect. A decade later, I played once again EOB2, and it shined like a diamond, as the first time!

Not that it matters but the only spreadsheet I've seen says 35.
