The city of Waterdeep is in dire need of heroes to defend it from the evil below the city. Assemble a group of four heroes, heed the call of the Lords of Waterdeep and start your quest in the sewers below the city!
But beware, for this is not your only quest. Archmage Khelben needs you to investigate strange happenings near the Temple of Darkmoon. People around it are disappearing and human remains are found in shallow graves.

One thing I love about ScummVM is the way they're always adding games that, years ago, would have got you shouted down on this very forum as being 'outside the scope of ScummVM's vision'. Hell, I remember when they said AGI games would never bee supported! Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2 are awesome. Keep up the good work.

There was an extensive discussion about this in the devel mail list. In essence, EOB 1 and 2 are exceptions to this, as they are based on an engine used for adventure games, and it was hard to keep two different versions of the same engine in sync (one with EOB support and one without it). The argument about the scope of games supported by ScummVM still stands. These two games were a notable exception to it.Tinhead Ned wrote:One thing I love about ScummVM is the way they're always adding games that, years ago, would have got you shouted down on this very forum as being 'outside the scope of ScummVM's vision'.

Both are great games and a very nice addition to ScummVM. Thanks for these, keep up the good work!-

Finished EOB1
Again thanks for adding the games. I've enjoyed part 1 and part 2 is up next.
I just finished the first part and filed the following three bug reports. The last one is for EOB2 because ith crashed when I tried to import my EOB1 party.

- When dropping a party member he becomes a set of bones.
When resurrecting dead people by the dwarven cleric with a full party the person you replace ends als as a set of bones

Sounds like a bug. I'll try to fix the reported issues. Thanks for testing.
EDIT: I just tried to reproduce the issue mentioned above ("when dropping a party member he becomes a set of bones"). I didn't get a set of bones here. What should happen is that all inventory items of the character you remove are placed on the floor in front of the party. So if your character happened to carry one or more bone sets these bone set will also appear on the floor. But obviously these sets should be for different characters. Could you please check this again?

Retested and you're right I was dragging around a set of bones and that's what I'm seeing.athrxx wrote:Truus999 wrote:Further more I have a two question which MAY be bugs.Was this the same in the original?

The new question is
The dropped party member is gone. Is that the same behaviour as in the original game.Re: Finished EOB1
Truus999 wrote: The new question is
Yes, that's normal behavior. Where else should these characters appear, anyway?.
Re: Finished EOB1
Ok Thanks. I didn't remember and expected them to just stand in the place where I sacked them waiting to be re-recruited.athrxx wrote:Truus999 wrote: The new question is

Finished EOB2
Finished this one also. No problems found.
Thanks again for making it possible

There's support planned for the official Amiga releases. There's no promises about the fan-patched AGA ones though.klum wrote:I'm sorry for asking this at this point, but I would really like to know if amiga file support is planned in the long run, especially considering the amazing fan-patched AGA version, which many consider to be the best version of EOB there is.
