Hell, you don't even need a thief really to get you to the endgame baddy. Non combat skillset usability is hampered too of course. Just get a couple of fighters with reach weapons, throw in 2 sorcs and spam fireballs/cleave all the way through the game. Not only particular classes/tactics, but *most* of them. Chars are cardboard cutouts, and the battles (contrary to what people would want you to believe) just cannot fulfill the potential of the d20 3.5e system. Guess it's designed for replayability but that's not done right either. Backgrounds, models and animations are some of the best in class. Evidently the development was grossly mismanaged.Īll of the combat, balance, and script/plot components are far from being alright. It's much easier to debate a game when the developers fulfill at least their basic duty of actually completing the product which in this case hasn't transpired. I haven't tried KotB, I'm currently having a go with the Co8 New Content.Īdmittedly ToEE is a sitting duck for pelting the stones of criticism and much if not all of it is justified unfortunately. I don't know if you would agree with those criticisms or not, but I am curious as to whether KotB improves in any of those areas? I am also curious as to whether anyone can give an idea of hours to complete? How much content is there? I know it is for level 1 starting characters. the game seems to love springing somewhat unreasonable ambushes on the player, with multiple enemies appearing out of nowhere, and often somewhat overpowered. Not much in general for a rogue-class character to do. There seems to be not much in the way of loot to find and relatively few traps and locked doors/containers. many of the areas are quite lacking in terms of things the PCs can interact with (very few containers to explore). the plot is very weak and the game seems generally quite lacking in direction. So, KotB seems like it would be worth a try.Ĭriticisms of the ToEE campaign have been listed in many places, but the main issues I have with it are: I have often thought it would be great to see the engine being used for a different, better-designed campaign. I have tried to play it several times and just can't get through it.

I have always really liked the excellent ToEE engine and combat system however, I find it difficult to enjoy the ToEE campaign (even with Co8/Temple+), as it seems to be fundamentally quite poorly-designed.
