Is it still worth playing?

Randomly generated equipment and skills grouped into archetypes fuel the hack and slash combat of this action role playing game for Windows from 2002. It is played from a top down camera, mostly by mouse. It also has branching conversations, lockpicking, pickpocketing and bartering, and a reputation system that tracks how characters react. Some items can be moved: a barrel can be dragged aside to reveal a key, or a hay bale spread out to make a bed. A character of any starting class can learn any skill, and the attributes are open ended too. Every class can grow in any direction, so a second character today can play out very differently.
