I was wandering through New Phlan, hitting every door in the Civilized portion of the town so I could accurately map where every temple, shop, tavern, and "other" was. Then I found a tavern and forgot that when our friend the fearless Addict was in a tavern, brawls broke out all the time. So imagine my surprise when, while listening to random gossip, a fight broke out.
I didn't get the screenshots for 3 of my 5 team members dying :( but then I started getting screen shots so you could all witness the horror of my 5 1st level schlubs being attacked by SIX 6th level thieves.
I think you can guess how THIS went down without screenshots. But I
must... document... the
horror. So, here we go :)

I was so surprised by how quickly I was chopped down like wheat from a sharpened scythe and couldn't get the screen shots in. The game is turn-based, but when it has more than one screen of info (it takes 3 screens for one character to die!) it erases the last screenie and gives the next in line. Have to move fast! |

Basically it was one shot one kill. Sigh. | | |

At last my final living character gets a turn! Not good. | |

How ignominious? Very. Very ignominious. | |

I think I'll be seeing this screen a lot. |
So now I must start over from my last save. Which was when I first started the game, dumped by the tour guide. Oh well! That's Role Playing! :)
See yez all next post! Hopefully I'll have actual XP that time.
Ouch! Brutal!
ReplyDeleteNice start to the blog so far. I don't know if I'd have the stomach to play the NES version of the game. The graphics are really sub-par compared to the PC version.
That's why I'll be having fun watching you play it instead!
I quite like the way the little sprites look though!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteAt least you still have your map. :)
I like your blogging style, very honest.
