OT: a nice RPG-ish game?

[Crandaeolon]

2. Betrayal in Krondor . Graphic is relatively primitive, but the game is amazing. It is the only computer RPG game in existance AFAICT whose story was created by famous fantasy author(Feist). He wrote story, dialogs, item description... (Clip)

Actually, mr. Feist didn't write the game; the Krondor name was licensed to Dynamix, whose creative team is responsible for the writing. The following is straight from the "Author's afterword" section of Feist's book Krondor: the Betrayal, which is based on the game, not the other way around.

Neal Hallford and John Cutter wrote the game. I got to review things, but they wrote it. I talked with them about story, gave them ideas, listened to their ideas, and the game took form. But even I had no idea what it would look like, or play like, until it was finished. I got the script, but John had simply printed everything and sent it to me, without any idea of how it hung together.

Feist adapted the game script into book form, removing silly subquests and focusing on the main story. The book is of quite average quality IMO, Feist's earlier works are much more enjoyable.

All in all though, the game is absolutely great, but let's give credit where credit is due, right?
