Faithful: I also bought Eschalon Book 1 as it too is a great game and also DRM free.
Narakir: I'm interested about this one, how's the story actually ? The few reviews I was able to find said that it was an average-good game worth trying but nothing spectacular on any aspects (even for old RPGs fans).
I tried the demo too but it's very challenging if you start as a spellcaster (I love being healers or mages). You run out of mana very quickly because the mana costs are expensive for the starting spells. I suppose it makes sense, you've lost your memory, your skill and a level one mage shouldn't be able to nuke everything in his path, but potions aren't cheap and having to rest after every fifth kill is not only taxing but dangerous because of the random encounters. (Maybe I rolled wrong, I dunno)
I'll try a melee character to see if they encounter the same problem but, other than that, it's got pretty solid gameplay. The story seems cliche'd (how many protagonists have we met that with amnesia?) but the quests more than make up for it, not to mention the fact that it's an open-ended game and you can build your character to suit your preferred gameplay. This is taking into consideration I only have the demo but I'd definitely buy it (as soon as I figure out how to work my spell caster to my advantage).
