So I got the demo based on your recommendation and I loved it.  Before I knew it, the demo was over.  It was pretty funny when the king was like, "I am sorry, but I can not give you any more quests because the demo version of King's Bounty does not go outside of this region".

I just bought it on Direct2Drive.  Downloading now!

EDIT: Has anyone noticed that ATARI is basically the official publisher of PC rpgs?  Basically every PC RPG I buy (The Witcher, this, Neverwinter Nights, etc) is published by them.  It is sad to hear that they are having financial trouble because they are actually one of my favorite publishers now.  :-\

I'm glad you enjoyed it mala!

Yeah ATARI is one of the bigger PC RPG developers, mostly because everyone else moved onto MMO's or other genres. Console RPG's seem to be more profitable atm.

Neato. I'm not much into ye olde fantasy... but this looks awesome. Definitely getting this.

It is sad to hear that they are having financial trouble because they are actually one of my favorite publishers now.  :-\

I can't wrap my brain around this because I'm pretty sure they still have the rights to the Dungeons and Dragons computer games and they release a butt ton of games every year.  As far as publishers go they're at the top but man it's like every PC RPG Publisher magically suffers from financial shit regardless of their profits.

On a lighter note, King's Bounty is a really misogynistic game.  Every 5 seconds your wife talks about how lonely she is and how making a baby will fix that (only to beg for another child 10 battles later).  If you dump her she instantly becomes pissy and complains about how you treated her like shit and then leaves.  I dumped zombie wife for frog wife in a heart beat and I feel kind of sad that I basically kicked 4 kids and a woman out in the cold but oh well I'M A FUCKING BARON I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP NO BULLSHIT, SON!

I think my hero died, how do I ressurect him? Or is he an actual 'piece' in the battle?
Also is there a way to get multiple mage 'pieces' instead of having them stack? Advantages? Disadvantages?

This confused the heck out of me at first.  Your hero is the commander and he's too high and mighty to be battling amongst the common folk.  Your stats (as seen in the hero screen) which are influenced by your skills and equipment directly influence every single unit in your army and no you can't get multiple pieces of them they always stack but some units do have the ability to "split" in combat.  You can't really die in the game; if you lose all of your units you return to Darion and the King funds another journey and gives you some cash to build a crappy army.

Oh, I'm starting to understand. I thought my 'hero' died, but I guess it was just a knight. I didn't understand how increasing my stats worked, but now I do!

hexagonal tiles! takes me back to my warhammer days...

Will it be beatable in 10 seconds?

It is impossible to beat this game in 10 seconds, even if you use every cheat.

I played this all day and my quicksave wasn't saving for some reason and . . .

Man . . .

I can't read Russian but apparently they released a new character for download.  Instead of a rage box, she gets a dragon with special abilities (who looks suspiciously like Stitch).

Also, there's rumors of an expansion which will include a random map/quest generator for full replayability.  Sounds fun.
