Saphire, thanks for the walkthrou and maps DHL link. Very good indeed!

I am playing the speech version, which makes the game 10x better! But one little thing can show you how games are not the same any more. And that is just watching the intro and seeing the little goblin running to his Mistress and having to take a little breather in the middle of the stairs! That was probably no more than a few minutes work and yet it shows how the developers/publishers thought. Even a character killed straight away gets a personality by that little breather at the top of the stairs! In any modern game, that gremlin would run up those stairs in one go and not be out of breath at the top because the developer/publisher would say 'lets save a couple bucks by not bothering, given the character is a bit part!' That's if they would even give it even that much thought!

So that little guy, taking a breather halfway up the stairs is a little thing, but it says so much!

You know, I never looked at it that way. But you're completely right! Lands of Lore is a true masterpiece; best game I've ever played.
