I don't think a year has ever passed since this was released without me doing a playthrough at least once. This article really shows why - it's about the story, so it's not so different than having a favourite movie you watch every year.

Of course, if the novel were based on my average game, the first half of it would be Gorath wandering around the middle of nowhere sharpening a pile of swords with hundreds of whetstones for a month.
