Instant classic:
It was then that I realized that the farther you go in this game, the less finished it seems. I suspect if you get to the very end you will be walking around in towns that are made of just line art.
But I will never know. Because I did something I have never done before in an RPG: I quit. Yes, the man who spent 800 hours playing Morrowind and all the expansion packs quit this one. But there is a big difference between Morrowind and Dungeon Lords. Morrowind is good.

That's... sad. I honestly don't know any more to say than, "People, we understand all that's wrong with this game, so look on the bright side. There's still some good points, and they can be improved(or created anew) by our *supportive* comments."

Well, my opinion is already out there, so I'll not comment on the GIN review.
But there is one at DigitalEntertainment (http://www.digitalentertainmentnews.com/review.php?story_id=9788) which seems particularly clueless ... the score, as always, doesn't matter, but check these quotes:
Dungeon Lords, a full-on RPG ... brainchild of no less than D.W. Bradley, who has helmed or consulted on some of the top PC RPGs of the last couple decades. Sporting one of the best-looking graphical engines this side of pixel-shading-capable graphics cards, Dungeon Lords seems to have a lot of things going in its favor. And indeed it does
The basic setup of the game is standard genre stuff. A ruler has died and no heir is apparent; a noble’s daughter who may be the solution is missing and you have to find her. On the way, you’ll enjoy tons of subquests and side-plots as well as plenty of main quests before reaching the game’s ultimate conclusion. :confused:
At last, a rare offline RPG that delivers the goods! Although the game is more of a dungeon crawler than a character-based, epic storyline affair, Dungeon Lords is a welcome addition to this gamer’s PC library!

Instead of actually playing the game, it sounds like they played wih themselves and then tried to review the game. What a joke.

Mike : That was actually an review of the board game based on what D.W. Bradleys has told us would be in the pc game from reviews and the main website ;) .
As allways nothing can beat a good dungeonmaster and a couple of dices.
