First real memory was Buffy's introduction to combat in the game, described here in Episode 2.1 of Buffy's first book:

* * *

I heard shouting and the sounds of fighting ahead. Stopping, I pressed myself deeper into the shadows. Shortly, silence returned and I slowly continued.

The squeaks gave me but a moment's notice before a pair of giant rats bounded into view. I started backing up, and fire instinctively flew from my fingertips - over and over again. Smoke, light and the acrid smells of burning fur and flesh filled the air. Fire blasted harmlessly into the walls ahead several times before I could make myself stop casting.

Once my pounding heart slowed, I stepped over the charred rats and crept forward towards the source of the fighting sounds I had heard. The woman soldier and a pair of men in red robes lay dead on the stone floor. Searching them yielded a pair of swords. I wasn't strong enough to do more than irritate someone with a blade, and wasn't about to try using one now. They were also heavy, so I left them. The little fire spell that Delphine Jend had taught me would just have to get me by for now.

Missing stones in the wall ahead revealed an opening to a cavern, which I entered. . . .

Trust me, you don't want to know what my first memories were. :confused:

My very first memory is seeing my younger brother playing it after buying it on a whim. I had never even heard of the series at that point. I was a big fan of rpgs already, having played Dragon Quests 1, 2, 3, and 7, and Dragon Quest Monsters, Final Fantasy 9, Pokemon Blue, Yellow, Red, and Silver, and Chrono Trigger at that point, but this was the first rpg from America that I ever played.

My brother lost interest very quickly, but I was hooked.

My first memory was being totally blown away by the freedom to do what you wanted and that you could pick up and use so many items that weren′t weapons of some sort.

Also, voice acting :)
