The Dungeons & Dragon world has always provided a lot of shake'n'bake potential for creating computer games. All the elements are there for a standard RPG adventure, it just requires the appropriate bindings to take it off the paper and on to the screen. Although Bioware might have taken a box of standard D&D Victoria sponge and somehow managed to turn it into a triple chocolate fudge cake with their hugely successful Baldur's Gate series, not all developers can bake up an RPG as well as these lads can.
Troika Games has had a fare stab at emulating Bioware's winning recipe with The Temple Of Elemental Evil, which uses the new 3.5 edition rule set in a party-based adventure. D&D fans, start getting excited now.
Creepy Crawly
Let's get one thing straight. This isn't an 'epic' role-playing game. In fact it doesn't have many locations, and the ones it does have could have been taken out of an identikit RPG 'village' or 'dungeon'. There are no big surprises here, and much of the game is taken up by a large dungeon crawl through the titular temple itself.

To begin with you're provided with the usual collection of village quests in which you help out a bunch of useless squabbling locals who couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Much of the early part of the game is spent toing and froing between houses, talking to NPCs and slowly accumulating experience points.
Generally these villages are good for two things - experience points and bolstering your party numbers. You start the game with up to five characters, which you can either create yourself or choose from a respectable pre-prepared pool. Your chosen alignment has a bearing on the characters you have access to, both in the initial party creation screen and later on in the game. The NPCs you encounter in the game are a chatty bunch, right up until they join your party, at which point - save for a few perfunctory comments when entering new levels - they are silent. They also get a bit stroppy when you try to sell their things. Fortunately, this lack of a party atmosphere is eased slightly by a nice-looking isometric engine and a great soundtrack.
Fight For Your Right
Also of note is the excellent combat system (see boxout). Even if you're not used to turnbased combat in an RPG, you'll find that under all the complexity, it works surprisingly well.
However, a great combat system doesn't make a great game and there are plenty of niggles too. Faithful adoption of the D&D rules is fair enough, but you can't help but feel it's too inaccessible for non D&D fans. There's a distinct lack of information about the weapons and spells, and it would definitely have benefited from something akin to the 'Recommended' button in Neverwinter Nights.
Matters aren't helped by the multitude of bugs and annoying issues either, such as monsters spawning in walls and dodgy Al path-finding, which can suddenly leave half your group stranded down a comdor. None of these are hugely detrimental to the gameplay, but they do make it feel rather rough around the edges.
Hardcore D&D fans will get some enjoyment out of TOEE, especially the battles, but lack of information, party interaction and bugs mean that it's a rather unappealing and inaccessible prospect for anyone who doesn't regularly use 12-sided dice.
No, After You
Wait Your Turn Like A Good Adventurer
Those who grew up on pen and paper role-playing will find the combat system in The Temple Of Elemental Evil reassuringly familiar. However, those whose experience of D&D just extends to the Bioware games may feel a little out of their depth. But it's worth delving into the manual because the combat system is one of the best parts of the game.
When you enter a battle, your comrades and enemies will form an orderly battle queue in the best - although not very realistic - traditions of turn-based combat. Through your characters' menu system, you can choose your method of attack (which will often depend on the kind of enemy you're fighting). You can also swap their weapon combos.This works extremely well, allowing you to focus on your individual character's attacks, use them as a team and protect your weaker party members all in one fell swoop, which is essential, as the enemy will often try and target your weakest member first. Bastards.
Oh, Troika. Troika, Troika, Troika. Back in the day, a company named Black Isle was known for creating good, solid, intelligent RPG’s, such as Fallout and Planescape: Torment. Then Interplay went mad and killed it. Twice. The first time caused it to Regenerate into Troika, while the Third Doctor wound up being Obsidian Entertainment. Sadly, while Troika continued to make good, intelligent RPG’s, they apparently forgot to bring any decent coders with them, and each of the three Troika games was released as an unplayable mess. Obsidian may get some flak for bugs, too, but trust me, their games are at least Newtonian solids compared to Troika. However, by being good, intelligent games, Troika’s catalogue was picked up by the modding community and fan patches were released for each, greatly improving the experience. For ToEE, the Circle of Eight site has done wonders, and I’m currently using the site-based package patchThe Temple of Elemental Evil is the second Troika game and the most faithful adaptation of a pen and paper RPG to a video game I’ve ever come across. There’s still something lost in the translation, mind you, but playing ToEE taught me some things about the game system I never knew about, and that’s got to count for something. The Temple of Elemental Evil is a computer RPG adaptation of a D&D 3.5 module which is itself an adaptation of a 1st edition D&D module. The game takes place in Grayhawk, the original setting of D&D, but that’s hardly important. ToEE is pretty light on plot aside from some vague “go kill the Evil Elemental Prince of Something (or free it, whatev’)” objective that only appears a third of the way into the game. It’s basically a linear sandbox, as odd as that sounds.
Still, for all that, the game is pretty fun, and it shows why third edition D&D did so much to revive the franchise after TSR basically dug itself into a grave. You might find my approach…unorthodox, but I’d say it’s appropriate for all that.
Oh, and one last thing: NO EDITION WARS. This means you may discuss game mechanics within their own context regardless of system, you may praise or critique game mechanics within their own context, you may discuss the history of any game system, and you may share stories about your experiences with any game system (although D&D would definitely be more on-topic), but you may NOT compare game mechanics between systems, favorably or unfavorably, and you may NOT insult any game system or edition regardless of how well it’s deserved. Except for FATAL. That one deserves all the scorn you can muster. While there may be reason to carry on the arguments about edition changes, this is not the place to do so. Thank you for your cooperation.
P. S. if you don’t know much about 3.5 rules, they are both free and online. Here, have an intro movie:

The GM named
Bob, he's the one running this campaign. He doesn't get a portrait because he's supposed to be narrating, except when he's playing an NPC.Garrett (human multiclass Rogue/Ranger)
played by Suzie (multiclass Otaku Artist/DM's Girlfriend), Bob's girlfriend. The 'new guy' of the group, but learned the ropes during a solo campaign. Fortunately for the others, she took the Defend Group from DM class options instead of the other way around.Hammerdown Hardboot (dwarven Wizard)
played by Hal (Ass Kicker). He likes playing as a dwarf and like most of the group prefers the game aspect of RPGs (as in killing stuff and looting it). He's also a cop.
Big McLargeHuge (gnome Barbarian)
played by William (Lurker (Apatheticer))
. He played in the previous campaign mostly because he had nothing better to do and didn't want to spend time with his 'crazy girlfriend'. He's not a roleplayer by any means, and has been known to sleep during exposition and town exploration. Oh, and he's gay.Josephus (half-elf Bard)
played by Paul (Roleplayer). Unlike the majority of the group, he tries to act and think in-character. Has played female characters previously, to his fellow gamers' chagrin.

Alex, another gamer rather than roleplayer. Moved away so he won't be playing with the group.
