Challenge of the Five Realms [PC DOS, 1992] longplay part 1/5

Challenge of the Five Realms: Spellbound in the World of Nhagardia is a top-down 256-color VGA RPG with a few unique twists. As Prince of Alonia, the player controls a party of up to 10 characters, battling the evil lord Grimnoth in a standard fantasy setting. The game features "Ultima-style" character generation, in which the player's answers to situational questions help determine the protagonist's character type (diplomat, warrior, thief, or wizard) and attributes. An immense number of skills and attributes, akin to that of Daggerfall, add variety to the gameplay, allowing puzzles to be solved in different ways. Dawdling endlessly in side quests to build up your party is not a good idea, as the player has 100 days to stop the encroaching Plague of Darkness, whose spread is shown graphically in the interface. Characters have their own personalities (aggressive, cowardly) and will speak up and volunteer for tasks they are best-suited to perform (e.g., lockpicking, bribery).
