The game world is rendered in three dimensions, with most objects and bad guys being two dimensional images. It can take a very very long time to completely scout out the Dimwood Forest, but exploration certainly does have its rewards. It also allows the player to experience far more of the side quests, and fictional flavour that has been written into the game. This is a highly effective strategy for advancing the characters very early on, making them rather powerful for the rest of the game. For example, when you start the game out with Locklear, Owyn, and Gorath, you can go straight down the road to Krondor, or take the long way around. The Broad: Most every chapter gives the player the run of the map of the Kingdom. As long as the player presses on, the game will get won. The only way for the game to be lost, is for the characters to all die in battle, or for some critical quest item to be lost in a game quirk (bug). The characters follow the storyline in each chapter, and must complete the chapter objectives to move on to the next one.
The Narrow: There is a linear progression of chapters in Betrayal at Krondor, with only one outcome. Gameplay in Betrayal at Krondor follows a simultaneously narrow and broad path. There are some very involved side quests, which have little impact on the actual story, but serve to get the player much more involved in the game. Many non-player characters ( NPCs) have lots of dialogue, and even (gasp) quests for the characters to complete. There is a massive amount of side story in Betrayal at Krondor. The player must try to avert the war, and in the course of doing so, travel to many different parts of the Kingdom, the Moredhel lands, and even another planet. The course of the game has the characters uncover the betrayal which has set the Kingdom and the Moredhel up for another war.

The game follows a series of chapters, each of which is a different part of the story, and has different objectives for the player to complete with his party of characters. Owyn Belforte joins them, and their quest to get Gorath to Krondor alive. Betrayal at Krondor starts off with some action, with a scene of an assassin attacking Gorath and Locklear on the road to Krondor. The dark elves, the Moredhel (Gorath's people) are on the war path, and the Kingdom is threatened with a terrible war. Gorath bears a warning for Prince Arutha of Krondor. Locklear, a squire of the court of Krondor, capital of the Western Realm, is escorting a Moredhel chieftan, Gorath, to the city of Krondor. Feist was not terribly upset, though, what with Betrayal at Krondor being a good game overall. This led to a few problems after the release of the game, when Feist said that the artists on the game must not have read descriptions of the characters (for instance: James looked like at least 30 years old in BaK, when in fact he was quite a young man). Feist was not involved in the actual production of the game (though he was in on the writing).
That adventure is the one of Betrayal at Krondor, a chapter of which revolves around that very spyglass (and a poison dispensing spider object).īetrayal at Krondor is draws heavily from Feist's universe, and he had input for the game's story, Raymond E. For instance, in Rage of a Demon King, the character of James uses a 'magical' spy glass, briefly, which he alludes to having acquired while on an adventure. Furthermore, Feist has taken the events of Betrayal at Krondor to heart, and has included ever so subtle references to the story of the game in his later books. The game is actually billed as being part of the Riftwar Legacy, which has been expanded to include several books (one of which is a Feist-written novelization of Betrayal at Krondor). BaK (as it is frequently abbreviated) includes many of the memorable characters and locations from the Riftwar fantasy series by Feist. Betrayal at Krondor is a DOS computer role playing game set in the world of Midkemia, which is the domain of the renowned fantasy writer Raymond E.
