Story:A sequel to Betrayal at Krondor, Return to Krondor's third-person perspective and linearity in both story and gameplay were somewhat of a departure. The game's story was later novelized by Feist as Krondor: Tear of the Gods.

This game was an enjoyable continuation of the story started in Betrayal at Krondor. They made some interesting and unique changes to the play style that were in keeping with what Raymond E Feist wanted for to try out for the stories his books told. All in all a fun game.
This is one of my favorite games. It was released in 1998, a period where writing and voice acting in video games had just started to be taken seriously. For example, Metal Gear Solid came out a few months before, and some of the cast members were credited under pseudonyms to avoid being associated with video game work - not realizing it would be a huge hit. Return to Krondor was another game making strides in the right direction. It has a compelling story, some impressive voice acting for its time, and some unique game mechanics. That era of games is particularly nostalgic to me, and RTK just has the perfect balance of quality and old-school atmosphere, without feeling archaic. I revisit it from time to time, and would love for it to be part of the GOG Preservation Program.
