Overall I think the product has good value, particularly for those who want an adventure filled with political intrigue and no clear lines drawn between good and evil characters. I can see it being an adventure that might test a group of paladins, who would likely find themselves eventually facing off against every faction. If you want hack n slash though, I'm fairly sure this wouldn't be a good choice.
Also, in reference to the computer game again, Murder in Baldur's Gate would make a pretty terrible basis for Baldur's Gate 3 (assuming such a product were ever made). The BG series had a storyline, but it was primarily about combat. Most computer games are, with exceptions like Planescape.
I'd also like to know what happened with Viekang over the years. How did he go from a scared little mouse who involuntarily teleported away at the first sign of another Bhaalspawn to becoming the angry attacker we see in this adventure? Bhaal essence really messes with your head apparently. And Imoen's fate is also a mystery. If the end of the game is invalidated then what happened to her? Perhaps she died in the novelizations. I never read the second book. |
