Last week I stopped playing the old Amiga Ambermoon #retro computer #roleplay #game after I finished the starting quests on the first island. I lost interest and it was again because of something that I never like in rpgs: "Grinding to survive". So, I decided against going now below Waterdeep and rid the city of the evil that hides in its sewers. 👁️
But I wanted a second try in my "I want to play some the of the roleplay games. I enjoyed when I was young"...
Today I found my old "Das Schwarze Auge /Realms of Arcania" discs: "Schicksalsklinge", "Sternenschweif" and "Shadow over Riva" in the attic (sic!;-).
Yeah, it's a round based crpg. And I played through all three of them in the classical way. I played the DSA pen and paper with some friends in my youth. The whole introduction into AD&D came with the computer and EOB.
But I know I can work around the fighting system to fight pesky Orcs, Goblins and other creatures and let the computer do it automatically instead for DSA2 and 3.
Heh, never worshipped "Rondra" a lot, was more of a "Firun&Ifirn", "Phex" or "Hesinde" type of person. 😉 So, I want to play it more like an action adventure. If it fails me, we meet in the face of "Boron" :-).
Now setting up dosbox on my #RunBSD and the games my NAS and I'm off to Thorval, the Salamander Stones and then Riva for a while.
