Temple of Elemental Evil...

browncat · #1 08-24-2003, 02:55 PM

Has anyone seen the new D&D game coming out for PC, Temple of Elementral Evil? I have done a good deal of reading on the game, and as far as I am concerned, It looks pretty nice. I wanted to know if anyone had actually played, or seen it played, at a convention or something. I hear it has unbelievable game-play graphics(lots of detail, etc.), not to mention it is turn-based(hell yeah!) but I have just gotten the explanations for the 3.5 D&D rule set, and I am trying to figure out a few things in time for the release. I would love info if anyone has it!! Cannot wait for the game!

I havn't really heard much about it...but I have played NWN and really liked that so I am interested in a new D and D type game....

you got any more info on it?

Sorry for the delay... went on vacation. I know that it is set on the 3.5 edition d&d rules, with turn based combat. I love that, keeps my hands off the pause button. The rpg factor should be great, lots of great features from what I hear. We should run into some creative characters, and really elaborate gameplay graphics once it comes out. I was hoping to get some feedback from some greekchatters on this. Anyone know about it? How's it look? I am really looking forward to playing this one. I want to know more.

I have heard it is supposed to be a pretty cool... kind of a NWN with more developed D&D characteristics.. I am looking forward to hearing more about it.

It is going to be a great deal better than NWN. The character development is much more developed than NWN, and the 3.5 rule format is VERY close to the original pen/paper D&D games. That is what I like the best, that the rule structure is so on target. I hate these games that claim to be D&D and end up being nothing like it. This will be right on target. Also, the turn-based combat keeps it very tactical. I am excited.

Obviously b/c no one except LSUquadKid is responding here, not any people care, but I just found out that Troika (creator of ToEE) is having developer Tim Cain on for a chat in the gamespy arcade at 4pm PST on Friday. Might give some good info... I am gonna check it out to see whats up I think.

I got to the chat late, but he said it was going to be Super challenging.. He said the developers still haven't beaten the game in the IRONMAN mode of play. I guess it is the hardest one. They also said it was the closest to D&D rules so far, so I predict it will be good.

NP at all....thanks for the info...as i said i liked NWN...whats this chat about? Any details...I need a new game I guess so I think I will check it out.

NWN was okay, but I wish it was a little more D&D based. I am a pretty big fan of D&D, so I felt is was a little off the mark. I am hoping this one is going to be better. I have heard it is supposed to be, so I look forward to release. I just heard it went gold, and I think it is coming out later this month.. I have a lot to look forward to w/ the Two Towers extended edition and the Temple of elemental evil game.

I heard that if you pre-order the game it will come earlier... Is this legit? Does anyone know if game companies can do this? I also hrd it might come out b4 release date that was scheduled for the 23rd.. There are so many rumors, this game MUST be great...

krazy · #11 09-26-2003, 03:52 PM

Has anyone been able to dig into this one? It is a step up from the BG, NWN games, a few bugs, but it was released early. I think it will really pan out as I begin to figure stuff out.

krazy · #12 10-10-2003, 06:34 PM

Does anyone know when a patch will be coming out for some of the bugs in this? It is great, but will be so much better once these bugs get worked out. Just wondering?????

browncat · #13 10-17-2003, 02:54 PM

The Troika patch should be out later this month. There is another one going around from Circle 8, but I don't think I trust it...

krazy · #14 10-20-2003, 03:05 PM

I don't think I want that one, I will wait for the troika issued patch... I cannot wait to get it though, I love the game, I just want to get further along w/out any problems. It really is a beautiful game. I cannot believe how far along the graphics have come since I was younger... Remember saving the princess in Zelda 1 for regular Nintendo? Great!
