My DM of M&M Experiance (spoilers Minor to Major through

Unread postby Arthas154 » 31 Oct 2006, 16:16

Ok, I used to play the M&M series a long time ago but got out of the habit and then decided on a whim to pick this game up when I saw it. I have only played single player so far but this is what I feel about the game:

Played through the prologue, liked the video at the end then hit the 1st chapter Stonehelm, Frame rate started stuttering when the ghoul starts chasing you through the first building but it was fixed by putting the graphics on Medium (I Have a 6800gt) and then quite simply played the game through as a mage. Graphics were good, Game play was good, Story line was good (Cliche but good) although I did start to wonder if Sareth was brain-dead after he asked Xana just before the getting the boat chapter. Leaanna falling in love seemed a bit quick but again put that down to cliche.

Only noticed a few bugs actually, the first being the inventory bug, Game crashed when I tried to pick up an orc cleaver without having picked up my backpack. (I also dont understand why I cant use my spells if only my inventory is taken). The second was where Xana remained after you got rid of her in second last chapter. Also noticed a bit of stuttering in the intial speech of a chapter but put that down to auto-save feature.

One thing I did notice that our special form after getting the skull for the first time seemed a bit weak (Also I really want to get a look at how the char looks in that form), the giant worm was also annoying. My major problems were the endings though, I was all set for *at the least* a bit of nice end scene with your chosen girl but zip.... Also I was hoping for at least one scene where Xana and Leanna actually meet each other but *sigh* ..... Battling Sareth's father would have been a plus as well but *again...sigh* All in all it seemed like a short game which could have gone on for a bit longer and with more detail.

I was very surprised though when I went online and downloaded the trailers to hear quite a few voice snippets and video scenes which did not appear to haved made it into the game, I still cant think of why. I would not mind an expansion pack or Mod to game to continue it further Or at least some idea of the true ending (with a longer end scene or new boss).

Edit: Almost forgot, Would have loved to have picked up that demonic armour that was in the intro in the game as well. Another cool thing misssing. Also any explanation as to who our guardian from the prologue was ? or how we ended up with him?
