The stories tended to be plain "kill-the-foozle" quests and you were mostly limited to combat with little opportunity for actual roleplaying or interaction with the world. Impressive for the time, but still rather simplistic. Lots of fun though. I recall that the Dark Eye games (Realms of Arkania 1-3) always "impressed" me with their complexity, to the point where I had a hard time enjoying the experience. Lots and lots of stats, and rules for everything from disease to weapon breakage. The first two games were essentially fetch quests with high focus on combat, although the third did try to add a dollop of roleplaying and atmosphere.
