I have removed the story information for EOB2 for now. I want to know if you guys think the sequels should get their own pages. I'm not convinced there's enough, besides merely plot elements, that's significantly different in the sequels. The notability and significance of the series as a whole only really requires one article but there should definitely be more information on the second game as it was indeed the hilight of the trilogy. --JamesTheNumberless 15:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One crowning feature I remember from EOB was the ability to import your saved characters (and equipment) from EOB1 -> EOB2 and then EOB3. Allowed you to keep "ultimate weapons" like the Golden Halbeard!
I understand there's a project out there to remake the old Gold Box style games using a new version of Unlimited Adventures called Dungeon Craft. Is there something like that out there in development for EOB? Because that would be hot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.191.80.22 (talk) 01:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What about a section on how it relates to Dungeons and Dragons? Many of the things in this game (races, classes, alignment, monsters, spells etc) are taken directly from Advanced D&D, but there's no real mention of this.

I just made a change to the Gameplay section of this page, regarding some incorrect information it had.
However, it occurred to me that the list of NPCs you find in the game might be considered a spoiler. Should the list of characters go within a "show/hide" field instead? Or is it too small to justify it? Raven-14 (talk) 15:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the bit about 'creative differences' with SSI as being the reason Westwood didn't do the third installment of the game. Westwood was acquired by Virgin in 1992, that is why they didn't create the third game. Westwood did help in the creation of the third game though via code, asserts and advice were still shared. I believe Westwood is thanked in the credits.
I have some additional information that I didn't feel comfortable writing into the main entry. First, regarding the ending controversy. There is more to ending in the original game that most players were aware. Because of the EoB Two-step, the name we gave to the way players would quickly sidestep, turn and sidestep again to keep getting hits on the monsters without risk of taking much damage, they were able to kill Xanathar, the Beholder, with normal attack and damage. This took quite some time, but it easily do-able and how most people killed him. However, the intent was for the players to lure / push him into the spike trap where there was additional animation of him getting impaled on the spikes, remember this was back in the MS-Dos days and there wasn't room for a whole other animated sequence without adding another disk.
The second is more along the lines of a bit of trivia, a number of the portraits in Eye of the Behold were Westwood employees: Paul Mudra, Phil Gorrow, Joseph Hewitt (myself), Mike Legg, Frank Saxxon, Aaron Powell and Eydie Laramore. I have these portraits, but I don't know what if anything, I could do with them in regards to this wiki. --Joseph4th (talk) 03:44, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Eye of the Beholder featured a first-person perspective in a three-dimensional dungeon,[4] similar to Dungeon Master.[5] " Er... same keys, same spells, same sounds. Sounds like a sequel to me... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BC82:B600:ED60:4C65:3407:D79B (talk) 05:30, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
