They took everything that was great about MM6 and improved upon it. The gameplay is addictive, the role playing element is fleshed-out, there are tons of areas to explore and conquer, there are multiple ways to solve the game (2 endings, anyway) and at least 2 completely different ways to play the game, and as a bonus, the mythology and history of Erathia are kept intact so the game connects with the rest of 3D0's world.
This is the best game of this type that I've ever played - I enjoyed this as much as I did the Bard's Tale 3 when it came out (and I played that game through 3 times on 3 different OS). My only gripe (and I don't really care that much) is that the graphics are third-rate - but if you are looking for a good game, you should overlook the graphics and enjoy a game that shines without having to be techincally superior.
RIP 3D0.
