Descent to Undermountain - Playing it in 2024...

[Saint_Proverbius]

For the technical part, probably. The engine was not designed for _that_...

The Descent to Undermountain development was so troubled and widely known in the company that the threat of being moved to the project was used as leverage at Interplay.

I've always wondered how much the Descent to Undermountain engine diverges from the original Descent engine, because there's source ports of Doom that can play Strife, but the I have never seen anyone asking why the Descent source port doesn't do DtU.

I was a frequent poster in the old Interplay Dragonplay Tavern back before DTU came out. When it hit, the forum went batshit. A lot of the folks started recommending Faery Tale Adventure 2 as an adequate alternative, since it had just come out around that time. The whole fiasco is similar to what happened with Dungeon Lords. Big promises, big potential, utterly incompetent developers.

Thank you very much for the recommendation, I didn't know that game, I'm going to look for a little more information.

Didn't wanted to necro some old thread...

What's wrong with replying to old topics?

Ok, some points that bother me :

- What should be done with the skeleton on the bridge talking about the Kelemvor temple ?
- The woman in the Inn talks about a priest that is supposed to be trapped in the Kassalander crypt. Never found him... ?
- There is a drow woman trapped behind a green glass in a treasure room in the alastar's apprentice lair, how do we free her ?

Any help whould be appreciated regarding thoses quests...
