Full game first impressions thread

Yea. This is the first game in a very long time I payed full price ($40). Usually I wait till they are no more than $20. I do have one question and one comment:


What exactly do obelisk do? for example I click on Obelisk of fandor:
Which gives a message [left out in case it is spoiler]. But does having click on it actually change anything about the game? Does it open a new area that is otherwise not open until you click on it ?

Also - I purchased the box version and while it has a few of the basic commands (like H to open hero) it does not have all the commands (like alt to enable turn in combat). Is there any document that list every command/short cut in the game ?

Yep. It does.

I actually like the little jokes in the stories. Any quest in any game (even planescape/fallout/wizardry is going to boil down to talk to this person or bring the foozle somewhere...it depends on how well it is presented.

So,Zhuangzhi, if you are skipping the stories you may also enjoy homm which is about tactical battles.

What does clicking on the obelisk actually change in the game ?!!!

Also is it possible to merge troops together (if they are same type - like two groups of archers) ?

Finding all obelisks will help you to open special place in the dwarven world.

thanks. what are the best spells in the game like? are there loads more and more powerful ones than what we see in the demo?

[Imperial Dane]

Man, I just killed the kraken. What an awesome boss battle! I love this game...

this is really hard at the start as a warrior...

quick q...ive just got the corpse wife and am having a kid...if i change her back to a zombie that wont cancel the pregnancy will it?

it would also be better if the rage box gave you all 4 spells as an upgrade choice instead of just two.
