People generally seem to prefer this game over its predecessor Champions, but I liked it a little less; there were too many random encounters (particularly in that damn dwarf village) and the glut of magic-resistant or -immune undead enemies was less interesting and more tedious to deal with than the various types of draconians in Champions. On the plus side, characters now automatically re-memorize the spells they have cast without requiring the player's input at every single rest.
