Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny

Description

This is the first part of a computer trilogy of Germany´s most popular and successful P&P-RPG "Das Schwarze Auge".

You can create a party of six characters to explore a lovely crafted world called Aventurien. Each player is represented by a very detailed skill and attribute system, which is as complex as the well known AD&D game system.

In the first part of the trilogy, it is your task to stop Orkish hordes from plundering human settlements in the borderlands of Aventurien. Therefore you´ll have to recover a mysterious sword forged by cyclops, called "Die Schicksalsklinge (=Blade of Destiny)". Little is known about this sword and it will take a while to discover it and its secrets.

Trivia

The first release of the game was very bug pestered. You could get crashes simply by taking one route in travel, seemingly at random. They fixed that later, though.

They didn't even get the copy protection right: they included a VERY annoying doc check from the manual AND a large color map ("what town is north/south/east/west of that town"). But the manual was misprinted so some questions had the wrong answers. They included a correction sheet which made the protection even more stupid. In some cases, even correct answers to the map questions were accounted as wrong.
