install the latest Co8
play the game and realize its awesomeness

The first one is kinda the condition for the second.

 

[Ruprekt]

Is this GoG version compatible with Co8?

 

[Zed]

ToEE really isn't all that good. IWD is a lot more fun. But that off GoG instead if you have to buy something. Includes expansion and runs great on win7.

 

[Andhaira]

Do NOT install the Co8 mod. It adds in cloud's sword. Avoid like the plague.

I post less now. Please ignore me anyway

ToEE engine plus IWD content would make such an awesome game.

It has not come to be

 

[getter77]

Ha, I was suspecting them to offer this for $9.99---smart move GoG.

What's Co8?

 

[Kz3r0]

I bought the original, boxed, for two Euros, straight out from the bargain bin.

 

[Mrowak]

What's Co8?

Circle of Eight Mod for ToEE. We have two lps of it on the Codex.

Grab it (the NC -New Content version of it) bro and embrace the Glory.

 

[someone else]

Buy it for the tactical combat, not for story and stuff.
The best Troika game.
The worst is Arcanum.

 

[DalekFlay]

Still have my boxed version, thanks anyway.

 

[Gragt]

Arcanum is the best Troika Game.

TOEE with Co8 is almost as good as Arcanum , the best Troika Game.

 

[nekkerbee]

The bestest would be Arcanum with ToEE-style tactical combat. The world would drown in the Codexian spooge flood.

in post apocalyptic world with mike morgans soundtracks

 

[waywardOne]

so if i enjoy and still mod bg2, i should get this?

 

[thesheeep]

Yes. It easily has the best combat of all those games.

 

[Mrowak]

so if i enjoy and still mod bg2, i should get this?

By all means, yes!. Though TOEE lack bg2's fast pace in combat it does more than make up for it with sheer variety of options and really interesting encounters.

I cannot stress enough how much this game improves with Co8 mod. Even on your first playthrough - install Co8 vanilla version to get rid of annoying bugs. Then once you finish it install Co8 New Content - it really really adds to gameplay.

We have this here, outside reality. AND IT IS GLORIOUS.

 

[jiujitsu]

I hated ToEE. I believe I reviewed it long ago on these forums and concluded that it was a "buggy piece of shit." Oh well.

 

[Archibald]

ToEE good old game? I`m probably getting too old for this shit.

 

[CraigCWB]

ToEE good old game? I`m probably getting too old for this shit.

Yeah, it's not that old and it's not that good. I set the box out on the shelf over my PC to remind myself to replay it about a year ago. It's still sitting there, un-replayed. Main problem is it's only about 1/10 of a game. There's not enough content for me to muster up the motivation to even bother with it again. I realize they were doing a PC treatment of a very brief D&D packaged scenario but there's no rule saying they couldn't have added a bunch of stuff to flesh it out. Seems a damn shame they did such a good job on the engine for such an abbreviated adventure. I'd still recommend it to any D&D fans who haven't played it... if there any such people.

Is it really that short? I could never get past the first omelette place or whatever it's called...
