This game was a cooler idea than it was a game but this update seems like it may be epic.

This is the game from 2006 that made me wish I had a sick computer and could finally become a PC gamer... I was a Xbox Supremacist at the time.

I watched the videos for the level editor of this like 100000 times and the developer zooming in on a tree and pointing out every individual leaf was rendered made me blast white come in my gym shorts.

Yea it's not just Greece... IIRC it's Greece, Egypt, China and then you go to Hades or something and the monsters are all based on the Cultural Lore and the equipment is as well.

I remember I had the most fun with this game playing with a game hack software that I adjusted XP gain to like 1.75x and loot drops to 2x or something. The neat thing about loot drops in this game is that the enemies are using the loot that would drop so you can actually make the game sort of harder in a way by cranking up the MF multiplier.

The actual amount of loot is kinda small so don't go crazy with it or you'll be liable to see every possible item but adjusting it a little bit can be fun and you can probably make other adjustments to compliment it and make it harder too. The program has been out for years so who knows what's in it at this point.

Though I'm not sure if it works with the update because they added the cheat prevention or whatever they were talking about.

my only problem with this game is how long it seems to take to level up, generally.....played for 5 hours and im level 12, which seems a little longer than diablo. it's not too bad tho



also as far as i can tell you cannot rebind these. i keep accidentally hitting E instead of W when i'm trying to pull out my bow

I rebound them. It just doesn't show on the hud.

that happens to me whenever I die and sometimes when I teleport on a 960

anyway so I'm curious am I doing something wrong, build-wise, or is running around popping potions a good way to deal with heroic mobs in this game? cus if i stand still and smack them they tend to ruin my poo poo

That's just playing Diablo 2 style games before people decided potion spam was boring. Plus it's essentially a single player RPG so if you can make a completely lovely build its more the game's fault than yours imo.

Obviously unless you're like making a melee mastery character but only using a bow or whatever.

The circle mastery things are passive and if theyre linked to a skill it modifies them.

Larry Parish calling out Plutonis for being AIDS is like when Spock had to fight Kirk to marry the woman on Vulcan.
