I chose to play a dark elf Shadowknight. I took red eyes, my god and my starting city are imposed.
Surprise, we can at least create ourself eight different personnalities, which allows to test several races
and social classes. After the creation of my elf, I receive a little message telling me that the chosen
combination is "highly difficult"… I don't care ! ! Pfffft ! Here I am at Neriak, my homeland… I got a
slap on the face, the graphisms are great, the quality is the one of "halflife" if you know it. Immediately, I
explore my interface. Boum ! ! It's worth one of the greatest roleplaying games, the skills, the food, the
graphism of the characters with weapons and armours, etc… Let's look at my equipment. Oh, the
beautiful short sword ! ! Oh ? A scroll… "bring this scroll to jfdghfggh, your instructor". Heu… Yes…
Where is my guild ? Oh ? A book… "Book of hatred and blood". No thanks, I'm not thirsty… Oh ? My
skills… "fishing", "hide", "heading sense". Ok, where shall I go ? "You don't know how to guide
yoursels". Ok, but to where ? "You don't know how to guide yourself". I cry out my despair. A guard is
coming my way… Heu, no, everything's fine. I will go fishing. "You should have a fishing rod", Gna, gna,
gna, gna.. Ok, I explore… Plouf ! ! ! Glou, glou, glou… The handbook saves my life, I'm the first guy in
the world who learned to swim in no time ! ! ! Furthermore, my skill "swimming has risen ! ! Oh ? At my
265th push on the "heading sense", I have "you face South"… Quick, the handbook's map… Damn it, of
course it is. I run to the guild… Wouah, the graphic are really great ! ! ! Did you know that elfs used
fluorescent marks to guide themselves ?
Oh ? Somebody… Heu… "hail" Argggg ! ! ! It's a qwerty
keyboard … Ok… "hqil" !
- "Hi, I'm a newcomer, do you know where is the guild ?".
- "Hi, I'm a newcomer too, yes, the guild is in the North, bye".
- "Argg ! ! Wait, where is the North ?… Anyone's here ?".
185 clicks on "heading sense" later, I discover that the North is opposite to the South, well, somewhere
there… I get to the guild… Wahouuu… It's bigger than at Lecourbe ! I find my instructor and give him
the scroll… "Welcome to the guild, take this tunic (+ 5 in CA) and go and see dkglhsfnir to train
yourself". I find the guy and I start to talk to him… GARGLEEEE ! ! ! I forgot to "enter" to be in the chat
mode, the guy took my first "A" for the "Attack" command… And here is my first death… Being lazy in
finding my body with the poor naked guy they gave back to me, I decide to recreate my elf… Passing
through the guild and I come out from the caverns to fight a litte bit… A NPC offers to take my "book of
hatred and blood"… Yes, of course, take it… "From now on, you belong to those who can shed others'
blood but don't forget that others can kill you too". WHAT ? ? ! ! ? Oh, no, I don't want to become a
player killer ! ! ! Give me back the book… "Irreversible". Oh great ! ! Hop, creation of my third elf…
I finally come out of those caverns… Wahouuuuu… It's lovely out there… There are lots of guys fighting
against monsters… Skeletons, spiders, snakes, wolves, there is enough for everyone's likings… I go for
a little walk and I see a little snake which has lost its nest… Let's attack ! ! ! After a fight in which I lost
the 5/6th of my PV, I kill the terrible monster. I take its skin and look for another victim… Maybe behind
this rock ? Oh my God, what 's that ? ! ! My God, it's the most gigantic spider I have ever seen… Turn
back and RUN, just like most of my little pals… Well after two hours of playing, I killed five or six
monsters (small ones) and I come accross at least fifty corpses… I'm leaving you, I'm almost at level 2 !
