" was an aristocrat's manifesto when it was written and the language was specifically that of an aristocrat declaring the game was not going to be designed to appeal to the masses. I am too proud of my finished product to permit it to be turned into simply another commodity in a Steam sale. I won't permit it to be sold below it's retail value for any reason. "I want to assure anyone waiting for the game that Grimoire will never, ever sell at a discount at any time it is on the Steam store ever again. "I found my own product to be more satisfying than any of the Wizardry games and even better than the original Eye of the Beholder series."

even BG has you pay the traditional 100gp for identifying items in a shop (although using the spell from your spellbook apparently comes free of charge). It's strange to me that so many CRPG D&D adaptations tried to remain 'faithful' to the pen&paper rules when it comes to the Identify spell.

Despite the movement issues I encountered (I expect to be addressed in an update) this is a highly enjoyable game that will be easy to spend many hours on without realising just how long.It's traditionally an important part of the game to identify your stuff.
Overall: I love this game, if you enjoyed the original this nice new spin will delight you, if you are new to the series, no prior knowladge needed but I highly recommend playing the original also (they can play as standalone). This is however where my only gripe seemed to come with the game, sometimes it was a struggle to make the character move or move faster than a slow stroll and required a couple of flicks of the stick to get myself on my way again, then occasionally the character would freeze in place with the game still active however I was unable to interact or move and had to load up my prior save.

The controls are very simple to learn and remember, keeping it simple seems to be key in this slowly growing series and the controls keep with that philosophy. However the settings are beautifully designed and a great amount of detail has been added all around without compromising the simple design style that we know and love. Visually Beholder 2 is much like the first, sporting the signiture Black & White & Grey tones with big bright white eyes. With plenty missions and mini side quests to go along with your nefarious or legitimate activities, Beholder 2, much like the first, offers hours of great gameplay. Will you plant banned items in their work desk and report them? Or will you befriend and ask them nicely to step aside? The choice is yours but the road to the top is dangerous and long.
Using familair mechanics in a whole new way you must reach the top of the ladder and take down whoever stands in your way in whatever manner you see fit. Your father has been killed, you gain a job at The Ministry and you are tasked with finding out what happened. Beholder 2: A Dark, Violent totalitarian game is back!
