This is perhaps the most colourful of all the quest locations, but even with this, the model definition spoils things. On the other end of the scale is the horrible Duskwood, with it's simplistic depiction of forest enclosed pathways. The sound is also terrible. For instance, there's no variety at all in creature sounds. One Shambler dies, he makes the same noise as the next, and so on.
Ambient sounds are nice enough throughout the realms.
Music is a bit of a let down. There's just nothing truly dramatic to warn you of impending danger, or anything that grabs your interest playing in the background. Voice acting is pretty laughable too. Drake's 'cuttingly funny' sarcasm will become tiresome very quickly. The more I played Crusaders of Might and Magic, the more I wanted to be playing something else.
