Hello, I am some guy named CWheezy, and here are my correct opinions on the black pits!
The Good:
-Making a min maxed party can be pretty fun, if time consuming. 1 Int half orc warriors everywhere? Yes please!
-The voice acting is great!
-The secondary parties you meet are pretty awesome, I enjoyed their banter quite a bit. A lot of the characters feel pretty cool, and how they shift as you get closer to killing the drow holding you hostage is nice.
-Instant free rests is great to get your party in the correct adventuring shape, that was a good feature.
The Bad:
-The black pits pretends it has a gold limit for you to spend, but you can replay old combats an infinite amount of times for basically unlimited gold and xp, so that is a weird design choice
-The npcs don't "Remember" that you already talked to them, so sometimes to buy things you have to skip through some things.
-I was hoping for some type of escape, or a jailbreak, or something like that. Instead the drow breaks down and you kill him even though that is basically a lose/lose situation for him (He loses his most popular gladiator or he dies and loses everything). The arena battles are nice little puzzles to complete, but I was hoping for more than just rest and kaboom.
-Immunities to the +1 weapons generally bones some characters, like my shapeshifter druid. It kinda sucks my werewolf gets to be a flat caster for the last 7 fights or something like that
The Troll:
-Selling quivers of unlimited +1 arrows and bullets when all the enemies after the shops upgrade to the new quivers are immune to +1 and lower. Woo hoo, unlimited totally useless actions for my archer!
