I didn't play it, but other people say that it's not nearly as good as the first part, which the reviews on some sites just confirm.

AH Guest you make my mouth water

But then to an extent Scatty is right...most Returns...are not as good as the originals despite the better graphics and sounds!

For the First Problem you are best Using magic to pull him into his own traps and then use one character to navigate the traps. the seccond set is more difficult. Easiest way to do it is to send your strongest party member through the least painfull route and accept the little damage. Rememebr you only have to get one Party member through it alive.

BTW the best web site on gods green earth for this game is http://www.hi.is/~eybjorn/krondor/krondor.html

This is great! :w00t: I remember playing this game back with it first came out, yes I'm old, it was my favorite game for years. I can't wait to play this again!

This game was the reason I started reading Raymond E. Feist books in the first place, I wanted to know what this awesome world was about and what else happened there. Heh it would have been a help with all those chest puzzles in the game.

Krondor is my favourite game because of it's brilliant, almost detective story, nice puzzles, variety of items and on-it's-times great graphics. Although i stucked for long time in chapter, where i needed the Guild Pass and surrended, last week I happily done it all.. :brain: thx for bringing people such brilliant piece of art again.

Loved BaK when I was younger. Got me hooked on all of Feist's works.

I'm using Dosbox to run the game (I couldn't get it to work in winxp). And I only have one big issue: the mouse speed. It's way too slow. Anyone know how to speed it up?

Sadly this game did the opposite for me, and killed off a long running appreciation for his writtings

Insofar as your mouse speed problem is concerned, perhaps speeding up the dosbox cycles might help?

Oddly enough, Feist knew nothing about computers when the game was in development. He simply sold the rights, and had no input on the project other to make sure that facts drawn from his novels were correct.

On the other hand, he had a great deal of input into Return to Krondor, one of its two followups, and the better of the two. (Though Betrayal at Antara was one of the worst RPGs I've ever played, so improving on it wouldn't have been difficult.) Unfortunately, he insisted on changes to such things as the magic system that turned it into a standard AD&D style product. What Feist touched in the new game, lost imagination.
