This was one of my favorite games when it came out. I had been a huge fan of the Might and Magic series.
The gameplay is a bit cumbersome by modern standards, requiring the use of function keys and without good mouse support, but the story is entertaining with many side quests to keep you entertained. There are a couple of key quests which are required to complete the game, but in general the world is open to exploration and much of the game need not be completed to “win” the game; you are not tied down to one path or location and are free to wander as you please.
