Very much so.  The game has an inspired amount of 'flavor' and 'dressing'
for a computer moderated game.  That's one of the things I truly enjoy
about it.

I remember my early turns...I was running around with about 15-20% Health
for a while, and was thirsty to boot.  As per finding stuff...Well, the
first structure I found was a Tomb of Mumi, and I found it around turn
15.  Cracked it on turn 18, and got a message from Jack saying I was the
first to crack a Tomb, and the first to get Silver Gauntlets...

As a general rule, the Coastal areas are rather bland.  Gwardon is where
things really start to pick up.  Kunbar is where the REAL fun begins! ;)

I agree, whole-heartedly.
