can't stop playing!

i played Dungeon Master (yeah, the old school one) back when i was a kid, like 10 or 12 or something like that... talk about a blast to the past.  i've been waiting for something like this to come out for a LONG time.  here's hoping i can finish it before D3 drops, otherwise, i'm screwed!

Hey, this looks interesting. Is it truly single payer standalone? Meaning it doesn't depend on an online account anywhere, right?

It caught my eye too when I saw it on the steam store, will definitively give it a try.

100%, the way these kinda of games should be. They really got this one right.

OK, purchased the game, got it installed, resolved the error message by installing directX. Now I have a stupid question. I seem to be stuck where there's a gate that opens when I'm standing on a certain square. When I move towards the gate, it closes too rapidly for me to make it through. I don't see any objects to activate or have any items to utilize to keep the gate open. What am I overlooking here? I'm sure it's something stupid.

anything of weight in your  inventory should do the trick... meat, rocks... even a spent torch

Thanks. I thought I was going to have to sacrifice one of my group.

This game is amazing.  I highly recommend it.  I've beaten it but I'm hoping more content comes out soon.
