The game actually made me feel evil for my choices. That's both disturbing and interesting. I admit, at this point, I'm playing to see if I can have multiple mistresses. IIRC, it is possible. I might want to grab a guide just so I don't mess it up. 'Cause I don't think I'll play through this more than once. I think that evilness is what I was responding to.

We almost didn't buy O2, because I disliked the expansion so thoroughly, and because the difficulty had ramped so quickly I got too frustrated to complete it. That being said, I didn't enjoy O2 as much as I did O1. Joe is right - the best part for me was wiping out that village, over and over. Yeah, some for the loot but mostly because it was just SO MUCH FUN! I don't like the concept in O2 of "levels of evil." I hated dominating people. It felt too much like slavery, which is just flat evil imho. I can see myself going back and replaying O1 again in the future, even though I have completed it a couple of times at this point, but unless I hear better things from Joe, I don't think I'll ever play more of O2. Besides, where the HECK IS MY LOOT??? Actually, we did get it to work on my XBOX eventually, and if you remember the expansion soured me on the game.

I'm not sure I actually finished the game, and I think that the expansion never worked right for Girl, since she was to the endgame of Overlord before we got it, and it didn't integrate well. She can probably speak more intelligently about it. I didn’t play the expansion, but I think I own it as DLC on the 360.

I gleefully went the evil route without realizing there was even a good route. It's funny, but I farmed the first village too mostly to gather souls. I have Overlord 2 sitting on my Steam list but I haven't installed it yet because the expansion, Raising Hell, completely soured me on the game. Watching people suffer in Hell was not my idea of a fun time. I didn't feel evil as much as I felt depressed. Did you ever play it? I finished the first one recently thanks to a sale on Steam.
