best game since sliced bread.  Better than Ultima 7 or even 5.  Great grafix to boot.  The character developement is similar to 2nd ed except for wheapon prof and wisdom attribute's big debute for main PC.  The game deals with your lost memories and finding your way through dimensional gateways(aka Ultima, Dr. Who: Warrior's Gate, SG1 ect.)  If you don't know everything thier is to know about the "rules" then it's a lot more fun. the compainions are -holes I would've preferred the "Kirk, Spock, Bones" comradery in SOME of the characters as was present in Ultima 7(Shamino, Iolo, Dupre, & Mr. A), but the skull guy is fun and your Undead so SoB compainions is appropriate I guess.  Don't let sum D&D nerd tell you how to play, discover it yourself.  It also runs flawlessly on XP which is a huge + for a game of this age(1999 I think) patch to 1.1.
