Realms of Arkania III: Shadows over Riva 1996

Is it still worth playing?

The party from Star Trail comes to Riva, a harbor city under siege by organized orcs. It is a 1996 role playing game for MS-DOS, the third Realms of Arkania, in German from December and in English from May 1997. Underneath lies a conspiracy, parasitic worms steered by a sorcerer called Borborad, and a mystery around the Holberkians, elven and orcish hybrids who used to serve the town. It is the only part of the series made without the writers of the tabletop game, so the plot was written to suit a computer game and the adventure is composed more tightly than before. It is turn based and heavy with statistics: a party in dungeons, conversations to work through and fights on a grid. The city is still a port under siege, with the enemy already inside the walls.
