Default Re: Who are you? What is your purpose?

Czymra: Of course, those games are best played in 'total immersion' mode . It took me 3 years on and off (finishing icewind dale 1,2 in the middle) to finish all of them... each time immersing for a period of 2-3 weeks non-stop play. It was an amazing experience for me as there were some parallels (including the avatar) with what I was going through at the time. As the main character was discovering his 'outworldly' origins , so was I in my life . Throne of Bhaal was in so many ways the 'icing on the cake' this game deserved... but let's not get too much off topic here .
As for that memory of the fall of a major civilization (I think it was Atlantis but not sure as I read someplace else after this experience, some of the survivors of Atantis were relocated to Babylon), it indeed was heartbreaking, it still is.. it had quite an impact.. especially the part where I would never again meet those people. I relived the whole battle and fall in a dream..
