Inquisitor = Ultra Hardcore, Dark, Atmospheric RPG = Awesome Game

If you haven't heard of Inquisitor, you should check it out. It is a very hardcore, serious, dark, and atmospheric RPG with tons of dialogue and a very deep story. It is very unlike most games made these days. Inquisitor was made in the Czech Republic and it took almost 10 years to make the game. I just started playing Inquisitor recently and now I'm hooked! I don't always like old-school isometric RPGs because sometimes I find them boring and tedious, but sometimes they are great! And there is something about Inquisitor that makes me want to keep playing it. It might be the atmosphere, music, and great dialogue. I think Inquisitor is more addicting for me than Baldurs Gate 2 was. I soon got tired of Baldurs Gate 2. However I would say Inquisitor is just as addicting for me as Planescape Torment was. Planescape Torment was awesome and so is Inquisitor!

By the way, Inquisitor is on sale for $7.49 on GOG.com right now. Here's the link: LINK

Also, check out this video of gameplay. You can see the awesome level of atmosphere Inquisitor has. I haven't gotten this far in the game yet, but I can't wait! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shEZk5Q5W_I#at=32

It is pretty awesome, some of the writing reminds me of the Spiderweb rpgs.

How have I not heard of this game? It looks pretty ****ing awesome. KHAndAnime

   Looks pretty cool.  Too bad it has mindless/boring Diablow style combat/gameplay

To be honest it feel nothing like diablo lol. Its more like Divine Divinity or the spiderweb rpgs.

Well, it is a single character/real time (no pause) action rpg with point & click gameplay, right ?

Yes, it is real time, but it is MUCH deeper and more involved with MUCH more dialogue than games like Diablo, Torchlight, Titan Quest, etc. Inquisitor is more similar to games like Planescape Torment or Baldurs Gate. However, in my opinion, it's a better game, deeper, and more atmospheric than Baldurs Gate.

Bold statement? Maybe so. However, it's a matter of opinion as to which game is better. Baldurs Gate has less dialogue but more micromanagement than Inquisitor. Micromanagement is not always a bad thing in an RPG, is just depends on the game. Also, Baldurs Gate's atmosphere, music, and artwork/graphics are not nearly as good as Inquisitor. I do admit though that Inquisitor's movement animations are quite dated, but that's a small flaw in an otherwise amazing game.

Yes, but development for Inquisitor began in approximately 1999 I believe. Therefore, they were probably using technology no more advanced than the technology used to develop Baldurs Gate. However, maybe they were able to update the graphics a bit over the years before Inquisitor was released. I dunno. Either way, it still looks a lot better than Baldurs Gate.

Doesn't look or sound very interesting, then again these games aren't my cup of tea.

I think the Czech version came out in 2009 and it took 3 years to translate it properly to English. The English version came out in 2012.

By the way, are you being sarcastic in your comment? Because the game had a lot of thought put into it and is very long. I have heard it takes at least 150 hours to finish, maybe more. Inquisitor is a masterpiece! It is not an ordinary run-of-the-mill RPG.

I believe they are on Steam Greenlight. I'm not sure if they were accepted yet but, be sure to vote them up if you haven't already.Pvt_r3d

Yes, Inquisitor has been Greenlit by the Steam community! This is awesome news! This means there are probably patches and updates to come. And if you look under the comments on the Steam Greenlight webpage for Inquisitor, apparently those purchased on GOG or elsewhere will be able to work on Steam too (if and when Inquisitor is released on Steam).

Looks pretty damn sweet. I think I'll bite.

Bought it yesterday, I've been eyeballing it for a while now and this thread made me buy it. Not 100% sure what to expect out of it yet as I haven't had time to play it.

You won't be disappointed. The game is amazing!

Will probably get this. looks amazing

Just wanted to let you guys know that this game has been greenlit, so it is coming to Steam soon.

That video was 10 minutes of walking around in a cave.  I don't understand how that can interest anyone.  Plus the description of the story makes it sound like the developers didn't even spend 5 minutes thinking about it.  The graphics look good though.  If its ever free maybe i'll give it a try.  

It looks interesting, but I've heard the combat is sh*t, and combat is a big part of the game. Any truth to this?PernicioEnigma

I'm on the fence, at first I really didn't like the combat but it seems to get better as you progress, still it's really rough and i'd say playing on easy is more fun. Winning the tough fights on medium can be really rewarding however but it's really clunky. The one thing I absolutely hate about the combat is that it's heavy on the potion chugging, kinda like the first Diablo to a point where it's just downright ridiculous and really hurting the game. Some of the mechanics are strange too, like the durability of items, i've had 3 swords break in the span of 2 minutes of combat, not sure how that works. I kinda like the fact your weapon can break in combat but it seems like this whole thing wasn't really all fleshed out.

I'd say overall the combat is on the shitty side, the potion chugging is really terrible and bringing the whole thing down. On a side note tho, I find the setting really amazing and the story fairly intriguing. It's worth playing if you can stomach the combat.

Depends if you like old school style combat or not compared to 100% action combat like in alot of so called rpgs these days.
