I got a question, if anyone has played both EotB2 and EotB2, for someone wholooks for pretty graphics, massive exploration, game length, diversity in weapons, but not really too picky on storyline or puzzle difficulty, which is better, 2 or 3?
EOB2 or EOB2? Mmmmm..... I guess EOB10 would be the answer.

But seriously;

That is such a hard question. They both have their good points and each has their own unique weapons, and each is pretty large.

But right down to it, #3 would be the choice for what you want, probably because of the extra mage spells (bigby's crushing fist can be used from the rear ranks), and the underwater areas, plus #3 has the all attack button. But it's downside is the delay in the game while it plays sound effects.

But yea, go EOB3 for what you want, IMO EOB2 is the best.

I got all three EotB games in Forgotten Realms pack - they're great in a way yet also lack something. I think it's variation. Lands of Lore (also from Westwood) offered a far better story and more enemies/backdrops but EotB suffers a little with its samey dungeons. Or maybe I never played far enough? Very well possible - it's a cool game though but I think Lands of Lore is best if you haven't played that yet.

Personally, I think episode 2 was better...
Anyway, the major problem with any game of this series is that you get sort of ''tunnel vision'' after some time. I don't remember if this one has automap, but the other 2 didn't.
Dungeon Hack, for example, is similar to this but you don't get the ''tunnel'' thing precisely because of the automap.
Keep in mind that this is only my personal experience...

No automap in this one either. EOB is from the old school, you are on your own to find the way.

Or like me you bought the clue books for each one. Actually I only bought two, when I bought the third game, it had a free clue book offer with it.

I got a question. It may be so obvious, that I just don't get it, but my game dosen't have the "All attack" button. Do I not get it until later in the game, or do I have to have a certian party set-up? (I have a thief/fighter, a fighter, a mage, and a cleric). Just curious cause I see screenshots with the "All attack" button below the direction buttons, but my game dosen't have it.

You need to mark the characters of your choice first by left-clicking on their name, then it will appear. k:

I recently downloaded EOB1, EOB2 and EOB3. I have finished both 1 & 2, but I cannot figure out how to get 3 to run. 1 & 2 both had a start.exe file, but the download for 3 did not. I tried eye.bat, but it did nothing. How do you get 3 to work? Was a file missing from the download? Thanks.
