I loved this game as a kid. I remember saving up money and going to my local mall to the KB Toys to buy myself something. They had a bin of PC games and so I picked this game and Spellforce. Spellforce confused the hell out of me as a child but I was able to get into this game. I'd be really happy to see this game on GOG but it's so little-known that I don't see GOG going through the trouble of hunting down the rights and fine-tuning the installer and launcher to get it running on Win 7. Also, didn't SSI publish it? It seems SSI games are extremely hard to come by on here, I know I'm not the only one clamoring for more.

They say its roots grow all the way down to hell itself, and that only murderers grow parsley!

oasis789: the game is pretty hardcore difficult. you have to find all these items scattered across a huge labyrinth, and its really easy to miss them
Automap takes care of exploring the *whole* map.
Magnify replaces "to-scale" items with their inventory icons.

Wikipedia says SSI was bought by Ubisoft. We can only hope.

As an aside, The Summoning (RPG, same engine) is awesome.
"Daughter, who was that on the phone? What did he want?"
"My friend from school. He used up all the Gebos and got stuck, so I told him how to cast teleport."
"...kids these days..."

I really love the "lol, wut?" reactions you get when you make that accusation, most characters seem only mildly offended. Then again, the PC does run around dual wielding swords, clubs, staves or even a fricking pitchfork, so I guess they might be a tad intimidated.

I played Summoning before Veil of Darkness, got stuck and typed the Russian word for "retard" in conversation with a particularly annoying NPC. Now, in Summoning and VoD, if you type a nonexistent keyword, the input field will just clear. But if the keyword exists at all, the dialogue window will blink. And it blinked. WAT. (This was before I found the list of keywords in plaintext.)

Eventually, I realized that the game was checking the first four letters of the input and there indeed existed a legitimate keyword starting with the same letters.

Later in VoD I was talking to a shifty character who I thought was obviously lying to me (he wasn't, actually). I was very annoyed at the game apparently forcing my character to carry the idiot ball, so I insulted him back. This time it didn't work. I decided to try random words that might be keywords. A relative was watching me play the game so anything rude was out of the question, which meant I ran out of words to try without even starting. I asked for a suggestion and she told me to try "werewolf".

For the next half an hour, I ran around the map accusing everyone of being werewolves. I lucked out in that I failed to find the real werewolf - this was waaaay before I got the quest so I'd have died if I did.
