The Dissapointment of Dungeon Lords

The Disappointment of Dungeon Lords - I say it twice for emphasis.



Sure, Dungeon Lords isn't new but last night, in an act of desperation for some role-playing I reinstalled the game and applied the latest patch. While many of the bugs had been fixed (there were a lot) the game was still just awful. The reason this game is so disappointing is because I can see what could have been an excellent role-playing game that wasn't finished. The world is still empty, the way things work for different classes is fundamentally flawed and broken and the way AI handles encounters is still a mess. It's a crying shame because this game could have been so damn good if they had just done the basic work.


And here I am years later still lamenting the shortcomings of this game.. Perhaps that is because I expected and wanted more from the guy behind Wizardry VII. I hear tell that Dungeon Lords 2 is being made. I hope that this time they don't completely and utterly screw all of us over this time.
