Have some fun with this one. It's another classic you shouldn't have missed if you count PC gaming among your hobbies.
Not much needs to be said here. If you can operate a typewriter the magnificent tutorial/1st stage will get you up and running. Cast some spells. Wield your sword. Pick some locks. Its all very intuitive.
Best of all, however, the story will involve you to the highest degree (provided you can supply some imagination of your own). I've played the entire game (w/ Sword coast) three times and enjoyed it every step of the way.
My Blood pressure has been raised considerably by people who downgrade this game by comparing it to Diablo. Diablo may be a fine game, but Hack'n'slash has nothing to do with the richness you'll find here.
Go for the story. Cherish leveling up your characters. Find your destiny and heritage.
I might start another game myself.
