Just played it through for the third time. It never gets old, all you need is a few years between to forget the plotline and the riddles and you can enjoy it all over again. The game mechanics of Betrayal at Krondor were so ahead of its time, it took until Skyrim to have something comparable. All the little details are thought through, the character development system, the story and the sidequests, the references to the Midkemia cosmos, the balance of magic and weapons.
Don't be fooled, this is a really difficult game to play - imagine Fallout in Survival mode: you have to take care of your equipment, of your food, of sleep, of wounds.
