It's so peak, so much flavor in the game. Something about the difficulty in getting into the systems makes the immersion better. The challenge is just right to be rewarding and you disappear into the world. Love it

Amazing game and cult classic, made whole CRPG genre and brought it to main stream. Still holds up today especially modded. I played it back when it was originally released and fell in love with RPGs because of it. 10/10
