I tried Eschalon a few days ago and so far I have been quite pleased by this small scope classy RPG.
There are a few noticeable quirks in the interface, maybe a bit of code in handling character development and a few minor things is missing and a way to press your character to run or move faster somehow would have been welcome.
The way time is handled and it fits with all the mechanics is pretty nifty, and although combat can be a bit basic the game is really fluid in the way it plays out and it does not tax you much, a sign of solid design.
Ok now that my opinion is done with and I havent found any sort of walkthrough lying around....my char is stuck ...I heard the game doesnt take more than 18 hours to finish so I think im in the very late game, I just cleared Vela, put my brother out of his misery and now need to find some mage in shadowmirk ( I had already visited shadowmirk)..problem is I cannot this NPC anywhere! I assume I have to get to Shadowmirk level 2 somehow but I honestly dont have a clue how. Theres the candleholder on the far SW near the entrance that I only have a vague idea of what could be for....and the chests at top NW which I have NO IDEA what could be for.
So any kind ppl that would like to tell me what I am missing here I would appreciate it, im sure its something simple, but I it kinda irks me that I got "stuck" in game like this.
Cheers.
