The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Paul Garceau]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
DreamScapes II is an excellent place for roleplaying. In final play
testing now and nearly completely revised from DreamScapes I, while
still honoring it's deep history.
Are you a roleplayer? If you are, then this is the place for you.
With six different races and ten different guilds, you are free to
choose from up to 120 different game generated characters. You,
however, must be their 'breath of life'. Without you they could not
exist.
The real focus for DreamScapes II is in the roleplay. Sure you have
quests and mobs to kill; you also, however, have the opportunity to
take your roleplaying into battle.
Dreamscapes II is uniquely designed to facilitate and integrate
roleplay whether you are battling a powerful dragon or simply resting
in the town square.
In addition, you have a pantheon of eight different gods.
Your own unique personality can and does create endless possibilities.
Are you into Arena Battles? Dreamscapes II brings that to you if you
should choose to participate. Be prepared, however, to become very
familiar with the 'mortal plane'.
The veteran players are happy to assist any newbies in character when
it comes to orientation and understanding of the World of DreamScapes
II. In addition, there are extensive helpfiles easily accessible
from the command line.
An extensive online forum is available so that you can participate in
the forum while, at the same time, developing your character within
the realm.
Tired of wondering where to go exploring or find yourself getting
killed too often? Now you have the option to spend time in various
regions growing strong enough to move on to other more dangerous
regions.
It all depends on your characters personality, rank, alignment, guild
and skills.
Prefer being an important part of a party? There's room for as many
as eight different players in any given party. Do you want your
character to be one of them?
They can be.
Looking for that unique weapon and armor for you or for your guild?
There are hundreds of varieties of weapons and armor, if you are
willing to take on the quests to find them.
Overall, DreamScapes II seems to be a rarity in that its main focus is
still the roleplay while leaving enough space for those, who are, for
the first time, learning how to appreciate roleplaying and their
integral and very personal part in the larger whole called DreamScapes
II.
