The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard

Clunky old school TPS that is just not worth experiencing.

This game is really something special but from what ive heard its just better to play on gog, if you did already get it here however and youre as foolish as I am to try and brute force it, heres some tips for bugs I found in my mess of a playthrough with the steam version, Game crashing when pressing esc to save, usually occurs with having too many saves in your file. Go to Redguards game folder>Redguard>SAVEGAME. youll notice the saves are formatted 0xx (xx being whatever number of save youre on) copy the saves to another file if you need to use them later. then delete all of the original saves that you no longer need and keep whatever latest saves you need and rename them starting from 001 so the game can properly count them up again.

I found myself specifically enticed with the sheer amount of lore and interesting stuff that was thrown into such a small game, this is my first time learning anything about Hammerfell and I feel like I already know more about it than most other regions of Tamriel. I believe a very surprising positive to this game is the voice acting, despite being from 1998, the voice acting feel…

i have mixed feelings but because my love of the lore and story outstrips the frustrations i had playing the game SO FAR.. ill give it a good review, subject to change.
