This is nothing like Descent.

Oh yes I have been looking at this one with fear and intimidation for a long time. The famous, or infamous, Ghost Bear's Legacy expansion pack/new campaign was released by Acti-Vision in 1995. It required a copy of the original MechWarrior 2 CD, however it introduced an entirely new campaign, all new mechs, and new weapons that went beyond what was seen in MechWarrior 2. Most importantly, Ghost Bear's Legacy adds an even greater depth and sense of immersion into what it would be like to actually be a Clan MechWarrior.

The story follows the (fictitious and non-canon, uh, extra fictitious I suppose?) journey of you as first a common MechWarrior, then being chosen in the batchall of your commander for the Trial to seek out and restore the stolen Clan Genetic Legacy of Jorgensson and Tseng. Along the way we will pitch head-long into so much Clan Lore and backstory, this is going to be so much fun.

As a game, however, Ghost Bear's Legacy was somewhat overlooked due to the sheer difficulty spike of some of its missions, a few which border on impossible. In the spirit of bringing the best possible experience I can, I will attempt to play through these missions 'as intended' at first. But I am not afraid to admit that I may have to use cheat codes or other dezgra tactics in order to advance the plot. GBL is not for sissy stravag freebirths.

This will be fun, quiaff?
