Temple of Elemental Evil
The Temple of Elemental Evil is
a single-player-only adventure with a straightforward premise that's
mostly an excuse to put you through a lengthy, diverse dungeon crawl.
This isn't an epic-scale adventure--most of the game takes place in the
titular temple (though, at the beginning, you explore the countryside
until you find it), though the temple is a sufficiently huge,
multistory affair. Initially, you create a party of up to five
characters (or you may choose from pregenerated characters), who begin
as neophyte first-level adventurers and can eventually grow to 10th
level, which isn't as high up there as some other recent D&D games
have allowed you to get. Make no mistake, this is no flaw--Dungeons
& Dragons is probably most well balanced, tense, and exciting at
the earlier levels, so this game's focus on relatively low-level
adventuring leads to many nail-biting battles in which you must take
great care to keep your party out of harm's way as best you can.
Indeed, starting out, your party is vulnerable even to common thugs,
though later on, you'll start to feel quite powerful as your fighters
gain multiple attacks per round, your healers become much more useful,
and your mages learn to cast damaging area-of-effect spells.
One interesting aspect of The Temple of Elemental Evil is that the
characters you can place in your party must be of similar moral
alignment. In fact, you must choose a moral alignment for your party,
which governs who can and can't be a part of it. For instance, a
chaotic evil character wouldn't have any business being in a lawful
good party, though a neutral good or lawful neutral character would be
welcome. This choice affects the brief introductory sequence for your
party (there are nine different variants, in total) as well as the
conclusion of the game. Other than that, alignment doesn't play a huge
role over the course of the game, as there isn't much in the way of
dialogue with non-player characters--not compared to other D&D RPGs
from over the past few years, anyway. Good, neutral, and evil
characters alike will still find themselves fighting for their lives
against the countless vicious foes defending the temple from any
interlopers.
