I played part of this game when I was like 11. A year after it came out. I remember getting stuck right after speaking with a guy in a bar, I don't know if the game had a bug or I was just too young to understand what to do next.

Not really hidden, but definitely a gem. I wish funcom had been able to keep this level of quality going forward, rather than arguably making design error after design error. (And moving from a strong genre to a weak one).

There simply isn't a better adventure game that has been created before or since.

Once, I've bought an gog only because I was too lazy to find where my game CD is. :-P

Wonderful game.
The sequel was pretty dissapointing. The introduction of Combat was a bad idea..it did not fit in with the game, and was badly executed anyway.....and I hate the cliffhanger ending. There are continuing rumors of a third game, but it always seems on the verge of being done without actually getting into production.
But the first game stands alone, and is a masterpiece.

Oh YEAH, bought.

YAY! Finally something which entirely qualifies as "my cup of tea."
Well... as they say, hope dies last ^^

i went ahead and purchased this.....i wont be playing it until later...currently playing fallout 2 (fallout 1 was hilariously awesome btw)

if i don't like it...oh well, i don't mind sending gog some extra dough...they are cool peeps, and CD projekt red owns!

sorry really don't remember the details, was years ago...
i remember that in the bottom half of the screen certain thing (maybe the character) sometimes vanished... that's was really annoying but don't make the game completely unplayable

Just bought/downloaded/installed it on my windows 7 64. It works perfectly all right. Perhaps the version of the game has been updated since you bought it?

Goodness gracious is it done badly. I always save right before I get into combat b/c I know that I'll die at least three times before I manage to knock someone out. I enjoyed TLJ2, but combat had absolutely no business being in that game.
They were talking for quite some time (not long after TLJ2 came out) about releasing the third game as an episodic adventure. Personally I'd just like them to release it at all. I agree that the first game stand well enough along by itself though. The mechanics can be annoying at time, but it is an interesting story and fun dialogue so that makes up for a lot.

If you are having problems on Windows 7, it might not be the OS but your video card drivers. The game has serious issues with recent NVidia card drivers on any OS..but there are work arounds, explained in the Longest Journey forum here.
I noticied that the Operating system often gets blamed for things that are video card drivers...in fact Video Card driver problems are probablay the biggest headache for retro gamers today.

It's why I switched vendors. I was a happy ATI customer for a very long time (hardcore) and slowly but surely my games started breaking. I emailed their tech support a list of about 7 games that broke with the last 2 or 3 updates and how I could make them all work 100% of the time by rolling back drivers and their first response was to not update drivers. When I explained that their older drivers didn't driver newer games like they should, they told me to stop playing older games (no joke, that was the tech's response). I switched to Nvidia and every single problem was resolved. However, since then, they have began the same process of breaking older games in favor of newer ones. Now I'm not pleased with either vendor as both have shown some poor decision making skills over time. Am waiting for a new company to break through with simplistic and basic driver support for decent hardware (no bloat) to force competition again.

its been ATI vs Nvidia for the longest...I'm not sure if thats gonna change any time soon...but that would be cool if there was a manufacture that strictly worked on older games

Another one I already own. Oh well.
