IMO, it's worth playing, but read back through this Tavern to find out the right way to play it. But as I said there, I'm in a minority, and most people don't like it. Don't try playing a Crusader or a Ranger. My best two parties were Gladiator, Assassin, Priest, Lich, or Priest, Druid, Mage, Lich. The second (all-magic) party is not great at ranged combat, but once you work the Druid up to GM in Unarmed and Dodge, he's a very bonny melee fighter indeed.Get back to me for more detail if you want to play it. In particular, take enormous care over your characters' promotion quests, and ALWAYS keep a back-up savegame before starting the promotion dialogue.
