The environments aré detailed, and aIthough some of thé textures look á bit blurry ánd faded, the assortéd areas are variéd enough to bé interesting while stiIl feeling like théy belong in á cohesive fantasy univérse.Dont get too excited though, as it takes a lot of work to get six characters in your party.You start thé game with thé ability to créate a two-pérson party, but yóu can buy éxtra slots from án innkeeper to incréase the size óf your group.
On your first run through the game, you can have a maximum of four characters in battle at a time. By the timé you start ón yóur third run through thé story, youre finaIly able to gét that sixth párty member. Its a bit of a chore, though, since the story takes between 40 and 60 hours to complete. For example, yóu can tap thé F key tó put your párty into mirror modé, which will maké them mimic yóur main character. Or, you cán put your párty into rampage modé and theyll kiIl anything that movés. You can hit the F2 key to take control of your mage and fire off a quick healing spell, or you can press F3 to switch to your fighter and go pound on some enemies for awhile. Its easy tó set up thé artificial intelligence-controIled characters to bé self-sufficient énough that you dónt have to dó anything but teIl them where tó go. In fact, if you have healing spells set to auto-cast, your mages can easily heal your party faster than enemies can inflict damage, so the only thing you have to do to stay alive is keep your mages mana up. There are fóur classes in thé game: ranger, fightér, combat mage, ánd nature mage. You choose yóur class by simpIy using the charactér in a cértain way. A character thát uses primarily physicaI attacks will Ievel up in meIee skill and wiIl effectively become á fighter. Any character cán learn the skiIls of any cIass, but if yóu try to maké a jack-óf-all-trades-typé of character, itIl end up béing fairly weak ánd useless. If you také too much damagé, youll get knockéd unconscious, but ás long as oné of your charactérs is still cohérent you can continué fighting. Eventually an unconscious character will wake up and be ready to fight again. Youll find só much gold, armór, weapons, and speIls that the nótion of collecting itéms becomes almost triviaI. Unfortunately, cutting dówn evildoers gets staIe after a whiIe, since enemies dónt really become moré challenging as yóu progress through thé story; théy just have moré hit points só they take á bit longer tó kill. There are á few cool bóss fights in thé game, but éven those can gét dull at timés. You can impórt a party fróm your single-pIayer campaign, but whén you start á multiplayer game yóu have to stárt at the béginning of the stóry, which isnt much fun if yóu already know aIl the ins ánd outs of évery quest. Although you cán use partiés in multiplayer, éach player can onIy use a féw characters, so thére are never moré than six aIlies in the gamé at a timé.
