I agree with everything you guys said and to each his own is always my point of view when discussing games, or books or movies. There is no right and wrong. And like I said, I spent some great time with the game, especially when it first came out and then again when revisiting it a couple of years ago (I think I made quite a few posts about it at that time). I just can't help thinking how much better the game would've been with some improvements, but I do that with almost every game I play
Just a few more thought that would've made a game more interesting (IMO): - a few merchants wanting the same item and you can offer it to the highest bidder, - haggling when buying/selling stuff - some thievery (pickpocketing or burglary when you actually steal money) - not having quests where you actually have to spend more money to do it than what the reward is. As for favorite RPGs, mine is Realms of Arkania 2: Star Trail (Part one was ok, but not as good as 2 and part 3 didn't have such a big map to wander around, though much better graphics).

You know, somebody should probably do a Darklands clone set in another part of Europe, perhaps France, with more activities, so that the current rights holder can't claim copyright infringement. Last edited by Borodin; 07-06-2011 at 05:38 PM. |

If I really read it, it was probably in this website: http://www.darklands.net/faq/faq.shtml

I donwloaded the game, and besides having some minor graphical glitches, which aren't really that annoying, there's no sound. I tried dl'ing VDMSound, but i get a -Could not load 'VDDLoader.dll- error.
Is there a way to fix this? Or can i play it with sound without the use of VDMSound by doing somethilg else? EDIT: Nevermind, i donwloaded the game from another website, and it works ok. Last edited by earty91; 10-08-2011 at 10:52 PM. |

Thanks for reporting, I'm replacing the download. It was OK but the configuration wasn't ready to go.

I'm seeing a couple of messages on the Yahoo Darklands group that Darklands is now on GOG. Shame really, since nobody involved with the actual creation of the game will profit from this. But it's the way the business works, and if it didn't, a lot of companies wouldn't be able to sell their assets when closing their doors--unacceptable. So there it is.

Man BSGOG (Blocking and Stealing Good Old Games) lose all my support after blocking the download to the games that they (re-launch) i even made a bad idea of buying a game there...
Im not against they making money when they upgrade and make the game compatible with actual systems, but blocking the old version and if i have understand Borodin post not sharing the money with the creators... UNFORGIVABLE!!! |

The creators aren't getting any money cause their business either went bankrupt or they sold the games copyright to someone else. Who ever is holding the copyright for that game is getting money from GoG for it.
And about blocking the download, I assume you mean from this site is that correct? Cause if it is, we did that not them. Abandonia does not host games that are being sold legitimately and has nothing to do with the people at GoG. In fact if anyone else had picked up the game for sale we would link to them. And now you know and knowing is half the battle. |
