[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 6054560, member: 5868"] That's better than the alternative: "Pee-lore". Edit: Finally finished watching the DVR, so here's the best and worst (spoilers, but it's a bit late for that): [u](+) D&D-worthy[/u] - Opening background sequence (though who splits a completed book into three parts consisting of cover, pages, and ink?) - “Gather Information” in the red light district - Joining and following the adventures of an evil party - A vermin-lord in the party - PvP killing during party assembly in the tavern - Dragon special effects - Wizard eye spell special effects (ewwww….) - Just like in real parties, the PCs have names but don’t actually use them - “Favorite forest creature?” “Zombies!” - Inter-party assassination plus a body in a bag of holding - Undead child suckling - Checkov’s gun – er, the ring of force – makes its appearance - Mage hand trumps all other spells [u](-) Cringe-worthy[/u] - Most of the dialogue - Knights of Pelor – a sun god – conducting their rituals in the middle of the night - Hooker with a heart of gold - Magic mart with a going out of business sale (“Paragon, or heroic?”) - “Shaddar-kai witch” is a human with some facial ink and piercings (but as we see in a later scene – no tats or piercings anywhere else!) - Silver-skinned goliath dude - “Evil” equals head tattoos (but the citizenry ignore the obvious signs) - First wandering monster the party encounters is a dragon. No, wait, it’s actually a wyvern - Math -- “Sixty thousand gold” split five ways “That’s almost 12,000 gold each!” Uh … how about exactly? - DM is a Monty Haul – a vorpal sword? But we never get to see any vorpalness, so this particular Checkov’s gun never goes off. - “Extract the liquid pain” felt like a “Princess Bride” flashback - Evil witch suddenly turns good and loves the cleric - Abrupt ending – the budget ran out before the script I'll give it this: it was better than the first D&D movie, though I think I preferred "Wrath of the Dragon God" to this.
