I wanna read something that’s fucking brutal with fighting and sex and all the things, but also WELL WRITTEN (so NOT George R.R. Martin, I can’t stand his shit). I want Lord of the Rings on crack and steroids.

    I have never encountered anyone else who ever read the books or played the games.

    Well now you have. I played (and finished) Betrayal at Krondor.

      That game was fun, but it was really big and easy to get bogged down by like halfway through it. I started it a lot but never managed to get through it all.

      I never got to play the full game, myself. Had a demo of it on one of those CDs that had like 50 “games” on it, all demos or shareware versions. But it is what made me notice the first book I read after seeing it in my high school’s library, since I recognized the name already.
