It's the contrary with me. I see it as the first introduction of ED
background (even they didn't even plan to do this RPG at that time). The
sense of a strange past and of fonderful powers acting behind the scenes...

I really like the temptation to use the object. It's a bit like a
damnation. Even after we concluded the module, I used their actions as
pressure on them (with the dweller for exemple) and as a reward. I stated
that they couldn't regain their lost magic and attributes but H'back quest
gave them the possibility to regain some of these.

And the final battle was really wonderful...

>I agree about QE, though.

IMO, the way we see modules is a lot influenced from the game we used to
play/GM. For exemple, you think you can do a fine use of DNA/DOA with some
changes while I don't see how I could make it fine. When I GMed QE or BD,
there was a lot of good RPG and epic scenes. That makes the sessions
memorables.
