Only if your strength is very low.

I doubt "communicating" is what Blargh aims for.

on my first play-through i had max. strength and could kill everything in one or two hits for most of the game. So its good that way I guess.

hell yes. since combat is so crappy, why not get it over with quickly? just get some ogres, automatons, whatever, and let them do their job. you can recruit your first ogre after just 5 minutes of gameplay.

Still it's fucked. Especially against mages.

I went with a gunslinger and never ran into a problem. I'd switch between my elephant gun, mechanized gun, and sharpshooter's pistol as the situation called for it, and I can't say I had much trouble killing anything except in the final battle, when I had difficulty keeping my party alive.

It's the only game that's allowed me to be a machine gun wielding knight in platemail, so I'm all for it.

Installing a game and creating a character can't take more than 30 minutes, noob.

Ooo, gunslinger, well met. The hardest to play.

I was running around with dwarven gunslinger/technologist myself. Nothing like army of automatons and Master Repair. And Mechanized Plate, and two Electrified rings, and Tesla, and...

Damn it Kashluk, you can be a real asshole when you want to

This means that in the 2 said hours, I :

1) Extract the ISOs from the rars.
2) Mount the ISO and install the game.
3) Create a character. (and yes, creating a character for a game you never played and reading the description for everything can be quite long)
4) Play for around 30 minutes before I discover the game sucks.

And it's not "2 hours" it's "like 2 hours" which could be as much as only 60 minutes because I like to exagerate

I had tried the demo and a few years ago after Christmas, I had some money and bought the game. I played for a whilw but I wasn't feeling it much. Then a year later, feeling guilty, I passed through it and liked it a lot. I think it's worth playing. And the box smells good. It's better than those rehashed fantasy setttings copy-pasted everywhere. This makes me wanna play again...

It gets better near the end.

See, just the fact that there was something called the "IRC wars" makes me embarrased to be here.

"cRPG" as in "computer RPG"? I hope you're kidding.
