Could have been better, but it still has a lot going for it.

When I first saw that a new D&D title was coming out and it was in old-school Grayhawk, I thought I was in for a great game. Keep in mind, I have played a lot of D&D and I knew all of these rules front and back. One of the best things about this game is it plays almost just like 3.5 D&D. The fact is, the fun of this game wears off when you see that it barely has a story. The side quests just seem like filler that don't really mater. I really think that they could have put more thought into the story, because after all, RPGs are all about story. The game has many good points. You can play any party alignment, from Lawful Good all the way to Chaotic Evil. I will say that the opening stories for each party are good, but the overall story just wears off after awhile. With an evil party, you can go to work for the different elements within the Temple, which is very cool and, in my opinion, better than being good. However, even fighting on the side of the Temple, you end up killing most of the leaders in the Temple anyways. It's just that playing as an evil party puts a different spin on the game. The graphics and sound are decent. Overall, I really like the way the whole game is set up. In the future, another D&D game should be made with this set up, after some small improvements. The patch fixes most of the issues that had with it when it first came out. With this set up and a good Forgotten Realms story, we would have an awesome D&D game. After playing TOEE, I would say that only hard core RPG fans and D&D players will end up enjoying this game.
