Tome 2.x: what made it special? What did you like about it?

[Sky]

at one point early on in your adventure, you will go back to .. uh, well, i think there's different starting towns, anyway, i went back to *my* starting town and there was a OOD monster looking specifically to kill *me*, because of the quest i had just completed.

i never made it to the void. I only had one single character (a warrior, possibly the most boringest class in tome) make it to the final .. which i later discovered was not final ... fight with Sauron, only to die.


.. i should probably get back to tome 2. Does anyone have a working Windows release?

The Fury mod of ToME 2 is still one of my favorite games. It gets a bit closer to Tolkien. There are some incredible pitched battles like around Orthanc, ent army against orc army, and some wonderful ascii towns like Dale on the Long Lake. Really fantastic. I was sad when ToME headed away from Tolkien--although ToME 4 is pretty incredible.

Also like ToME 2 . especially character types and monsters.

In my view, another factor that made it very enjoyable is the fact that the gameplay was quite varied also inside the same game. It never felt like 100 levels of the same thing: there were many dungeons to choose from, a variety of quests, towns, and a general storyline to tie everything together. The dungeons had different enemies, different features, even different colors visually. In some you could cross walls; some had double tiles; some were underwater...

This is it for me, plus it just seemed to celebrate so many possible game mechanics. I didn't care that it wasn't balanced. That was actually a point in its favor for me. I could play a really challenging character or something really easy that would let me explore different quests or parts of the map without so much stress.
