@wakkaboom1987 I'd rather not have my voice dominate over the game music too much. If you turn it up some should be able to easily hear me. As for making more vids, I might at some point. Far busier now days, and I'd want to play through the games again for my own footage, and to refresh memory of all the little details.
@911bobiscool PvP =/= PvE..You're probably right for PvP, but in the single-player mode which I was referring to, against enemies that aren't ultra skilled at dodging/kiting and etc., warrior definitely kills with far more ease, not having to worry about mana or staff charges, and with such rape abilities (aoe silence), which is more than likely why you encounter more enemies as a warrior. Against another player yea I could see the mage being the strongest with all the kiting spells they have.
@Deometris I guess in PvE the conjurer is the best as he has 3 types of damage-dealing stuff around him: pets, spells and ranged weapons. And you don't need to care about your health as your pets take the damage while you finish your enemies with your ranged weapons/spells.
@tidusN1 It's true the conjurer has the most gameplay options, but most of what the conjurer's could do wasn't really too powerful, or as insanely good as what the warrior had, even when all combined. The warrior only had 1 row of abilities to use, but they were all incredibly useful abilities that made the warrior really efficient at killing when combined with their lethal melee. Also Warriors have shurikens to use for range combat which I found to be more effective than the bows/crossbows.
@Deometris I was talking about PvE, but it's true that in PvP you won't have time at all to summon your beasts, while Force of Nature tend to be very slow for killing. In fact only warrior's grappling hook + charge are his best.
@tidusN1 As for the summoning, it wasn't something you could always rely on and if you tried to rely on it too much would just lead to delaying you. Creatures require a TON of mana to conjure and while they can certainly be useful a lot of times, there were also times their AI would lead them to dying to shit like fire, spikes, a hole, a mob, or to just some insanely powerful shit that you need to dodge. You certainly couldn't just have them tank everything and not worry about your own health.
@Deometris I don't rely too much on them, what I was trying to say is that he always avoid melee fights, his pets are good to take a few damage and delay your enemy for a couple of seconds while you finish them with spells and/or bows/crossbows. Still, he's not my fav character as only a few summonable creatures are good.
@tidusN1 I know, I was talking about PvE as well. Still gets annoying even in PvE using all that mana for summons that can end up dying really fast. Also you forgot about the Warriors War Cry which can aoe stun/silence, insanely useful.
Yea obviously to some extent you can use the summons to tank but my point still stands their not something too reliable, which is just one of the reasons why the conjurer class isn't as good as the Warrior in PvE.
@tidusN1 Man talking about the game-play in such detail is really making me want to play this game again lol, even though I already beat it over a dozen times. Such a fun experience.
A small correction, you mentioned that EA bought westwood after they released Nox. This is not true, EA bought Westwood 2 years before Nox was released.
@niqhtt True but I recorded game-play footage months before I made this video while I was just playing the game for fun and wasn't about to go back through the game just for a good example of voice acting that I would then have to sync to video. People that haven't played this game before so as to hear the voice acting definitely should.
I started playing this a couple of days ago and I'm really liking it so far. It's a lot harder than Diablo 2 (at least on Normal) since you can die really quickly if you're not careful. In Diablo 2 most of the monsters are just a superficial challenge and the only realy tough parts are the bosses which makes it pretty boring at times.
Anyway, I like your reviews dude. You should make more!
@dageezerboi Yea I thought it was overall pretty good. It reminds of a Diablo 2.5, though I still consider Diablo 2 far superior in most ways, but that's what it seemed they aimed for. The Skill Tree system was pretty cool, you get to mix any 2 skill trees of your choosing to make a hybrid class, and there were a ton of different environments to go through, as well as enemies to kill. I'd definitely recommend it to any Diablo fan.
Sigh i miss the old westwood rpg games. Their hero always had such charisma.
If you really want a great old westwood game that will still work now lands of lore thee i'd recommend! cant get this to work on xp...stupid lines all over the screen.....
This game is amazing, one of the best isometric rpgs I have ever played and I highly recommend it for any rpg fans, especially myself because I need to buy it agian :(.
@The1WithoutName Thanks! Haven't actually played that rpg yet, but I've heard of it before and it does look pretty cool, so perhaps I'll check it out sometime.
More! I've been waiting to see your other favorites ;) raise your voice volume too bro.

Nicely put together insight into the games, you do a good commentary.
Have you tried a game called "The Chosen" or "Frater"? (I think)
Many compared it unfavourably with Diablo but I thought it was definetely worth a try. (the narrative is so bad that it s funny)
You clearly being a fan of the genre have probably tried it already but I thought I d mention it anyway.
