I looked at the official site and it looks a little little-kiddish or something. Something about it just doesnt look right. Am I missing some sort of style hit or something?

Well its cell shaded, but its the same old dragon warrior that I played when I was a kid (guess that makes it a little kid-ish) with updated graphics. I was just wondering if it was still somewhat challenging unlike most RPGs that seem to come out and are based on storyline more than gameplay.

Again, we return to the Baldurs gate concept! Gameplay or good storyline? HOW ABOUT BOTH, GOD DAMNIT. That was why i liked those games.

Kensi Mage = solo the game :)
Kensi with group to level 6ish, then to wizard and scribe tons of spells to level the wiz to level 6 then, win!

Great game series though.

All of them clearly~ Shadows of Amn > all imo, but the Lycanthrope Island on the first one was pretty hardcore.

Well as long as the battles consist of one guy yelling while some dude looks on with an amazed look on his face. Oh and no partly bald guys orgasming to it all.

Rofl, nice. I'm pretty sure whatever it was though had nothing to do with Dragon QUest or Baldurs Gate~

After reading it I have decided it must be some sort of odd dragonball z porn thing, either that or my brain took a dump on me yesterday.
