The ToEE plot starts differently, depending on the alignment of your characters, though once the initial story begins, the player’s party is inevitably sent to Hommlet, a sizeable town containing lots of interesting characters, many with side quests. (Regrettably, other than NPC’s, there’s almost nothing with which to interact in the town.) The party then completes the initial quest. All quests are conveniently displayed and earmarked as complete or not in a handy log. Once Hommlet is explored, and, if the player wishes, some side quests done, inevitably the player must travel outside the town to the moathouse. Travel around the world is very easy with ToEE’s World Map option. The click of a mouse sends you to any known destination, along a dotted path of travel. (Monster encounters can interrupt this auto-travel, but generally this travel mode is safe.)
