Now this is more like it. After a disappointing finish with Diablo II, I am playing another RPG but loving a whole lot more. The game is Eschalon: Book I, a turn-based computer RPG from Basilisk Games. This first entry in the Eschalon trilogy was released in 2007. It is much more my style. The plot begins with a classic amnesia story. Your character doesn’t know anything about his background or his whereabouts. He learns details gradually by exploring, reading, and talking to others.

I opted to play a Ranger, which I don’t recall ever doing in an RPG before. Here are the stats for Bomani the Guardian at the beginning of the game:

After playing about 20 hours over the last couple of weeks, Bomani is now Level 10 (Senior Artisan). I will post again after I finish the game.
