Maybe because they have a much better reputation?
What reputation? |

Straw man argument. You basically read what I said and proceeded to completely disregard it.
If they did that, you'd have reason to complain. But a bunch of people here seem to give an irrational amount of slack to a game simply because it's by an indie developer.
I've put a bit of time into LoG myself... it is quite good. Still has its rough edges, but it does, as the Brits are fond of saying, what it says on the tin. Definitely a worthwhile scratching of a nostalgic itch, now to see just how deep this rabbit hole actually goes...
I think the fact (and argument around) it is by an indie developer isn't purely the reasoning... It's more the other aspect... Indie title are typically cheaper...
If this were an indie title priced at $50, I wouldn't have picked it up, and if I had, I would be disappointed...
If it were an EA title at $15, I don't think things would be much different, for me, but I would have expected more...
So essentially, I agree, but think the cost is more of a factor than that it's labelled 'indie', especially in these times when some big big companies label their shit as 'indie' : )
Oh and yay 100 : )

Really? I haven't fallen down any - what exactly do you/can you get from falling in them?
I haven't been in each one, but you can get gear (there is even a note somewhere that tells you something is down one), as well as an achievement (that I believe can be gotten no other way), if you care about that sort of thing

Who else found the secret room right at the first room when you start playing the game?
Speaking of spoilers:
The room with the pressure plate in the middle was obviously a trap, but who else was surprised when it turned out to be 4 of the skeleton warriors. Before that, the game was pretty easy.
Actually there's quite some neat loot in that room. |

There was some minor complaining here and elsewhere from people who were apparently expecting and hoping for a Wizardry/Bard's Tale/Might & Magic turn-based crawler, which I think is a little silly. There have been a fair number of recent turn-based crawlers (albeit mostly on consoles and handhelds) while the last real-time one was... Stonekeep? I can't think of newer one. And I didn't even like Stonekeep (although EotB 1 & 2 were aces).
Also, I'm not a fan of the magic system. Yes, it's the same as Dungeon Master. It's still bad. I don't know why anyone would make players find recipes and then not randomize them. The game is downloadable, so it's not like they haven't heard of the Internet.
Also, the game sure lets you put points into skills (e.g., bows) that you're not going to get to use for a fairly long time. The system seems a little more vulnerable to min-maxing than most. |

Just make sure there aren't any monsters nearby. I woke up to an unpleasant surprise.... 
Additionally the blue crystals can be used to resurrect more than once, not sure how the limit is set but I just used one on the same level twice.
No limit, just a cooldown...

BTW, when making a party, DON'T FORGET to name the mfers. I forgot to name one, and its bugging me. They should have default name of something other than NEW PRISONER.
There, I found something to complain about for the whiners about lack of whining.
Sure I'm being punished for something that's my fault in the first place, but I'm still going to complain 
Then again, it was my rogue, so I'll just pretend I meant to do it that way, and its just a rogue with a secret history and shes the kind who never gives out her name and doesn't even speak much. |

I did, it was almost literally the first thing I did. Turn around and spot the hidden button. But I wouldn't have noticed it, likely, if I hadn't watched the TotalBiscuit WTF - the buttons tend to be similar.
On the other hand, I seem to already be stuck - stupid hidden keys! 
edit: lol - I actually watched the part of the wtf which showed where the key was. Doh! |
