So I bought the game the other day, and I have been working on a Let's Play.

With a bit of a twist.

Its a text one, and it is done on-the-fly as I play.
This of course means that updates will be patchy since it requires me a large block of hours to do just one chapter!

People on another forum seem to get some enjoyment out of it, and I think you guys might like it.

I will warn you though. I'm literally learning as I play. I'm not brilliant at games in general, and I have only limited experience with Dungeon crawlers.
But I have played some Might and Magic for a bit, so I got the hang of most stuff, and I think I'm a fairly quick learner too.

Anyway. I hope you guys enjoy what I've done so far! :D
(I look forward to continuing it for sure)

LOL - I also have a rock collection, but I wasted some earlier thinking I could go back for them, so I am stuck at 5 - guard them well, there do not seem to be many lower down.

Enjoying the narrative, just a little tongue-in-cheek goes well with the game's tone I think.

Keep it up
Thanks! :D

I wanted to do a more light-hearted, slower paced playthrough.

I think one tends have more fun picking at and making fun off videogame quirks and cliches while actually playing the game at the same time!

Some of the humour comes quite genuinely as well.

The whole pit thing in part 4 happened to me in real time.
When I was writing it, I really was expecting that to happen at the time.
Then somthing else happens and throws me completely off, and its just too funny to go back and redo, so I build on that.

I think its something thats hard to do in a regular lets play.
(Trying to do a blind, live lets play is something I've always wanted to do, but technical cockups happen everytime I try it! XD)

Plus the written form gives me the chance to think out a reaction and connect that to something.
(And one can play on written words as well. Different writing styles, forms, gags ect. Its fun to come up with different creative ways to tell an experience)

Thanks for part 4 - I wonder if you got through the iron door? The suspense is too much...

Interesting to recall my memory of the similar but different story unfolding - did you jump when you saw what was behind the door by the face? I had a blind panic and lost the use of my direction fingers for 15 seconds or so, by the time I backed up I was one man down.

Hope you can keep this going further down - it obviously gets more busy and will be more of a test of your descriptive flair.

I was two men down when the skeleton guy appeared, and I realised my attacks may not be able to beat it without needing to heal, so I literally ran away to hide somewhere.

It was like this basically:
