Seriously, it's so silly when you have the previous head masters and high ranks who probably have been studying half a century / several centuries depending their race and then this new guy around the block comes in and becomes the most bad ass in the order within a week. Sigh. On other news, level 29 and still looking for challenge, not finding it. Have 4 million gold though, damn if I know what to spend it on. Finished 2 "main areas" still 2 or 3 to go, depending how the right side continent is structured. Combat is still nice and flashy, but at this point really repetetive and one dimensional. Oh hey ambush, meteor, lightning storm, oh loot.. | ||

It's totally OKAY if the PC can reach decent rank for obviously being super duper gifted as the chosen ones tend to be, and then put it in the epilogue that they eventually raise to the position of grand master whatever.

Like, there's one thing about being a hero/badass, but doing that shit makes the world seem really weak. Also, if you don't want to be stupid easy, don't take meteor or the fire spells. They're stupid OP. Any form of lifesteal also makes the game really easy. | ||

i love broken balance in RPGs like this, but it shouldn't be a factor until much later in progression. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [End of the Warsworn Quest Line] + You have to kill a few of this guys disciples and then finally you meet the guy who was attempting to summon the Lord of Niskaru who would unleash an army of Niskaru to defeat the bad people (or that's what this guy believed), but you have to kill the guy summoning the Lord of Niskaru first, then the Lord of Niskaru talks to you directly, and he's like "If only I had a better person to help me" and then asks if you're willing to help. You then get the Thumbs Up (help him) or Thumbs Down (walk away). If you Thumbs Up, he asks you to kill all of the leaders of the Warsworn and then steal that item from the Warsworn's cache of loot. But for some reason, all you do is steal it and that's it, you get the fatecard for being a baller traitor and can no longer talk to the Warsworn NPCs as they attack you on sight. I went around like Anakin in Revenge of the Sith, killing all of the jedi in the temple and felt like a genuine bad ass. But then when I went back to the Niskaru guy, I wanted to summon him and then obviously betray him, because that's who I am. I get there and all that happens when I apporach his rock is "You don't need to come here, I am always with you" or some bullshit. Granted I may have misunderstood the quest, but I was pretty sure these guys wanted to summon this super evil motherfucker, but when I try to be super evil. The guy is just like "lol thanks for doing all this, I'm not actually interested in being unleashed, please continue with the main quest." After unleashing my fury upon all of the Warsworn and playing out the "evil" as far as I could, I went back to a save I made directly before fighting the guy summoning the Lord of Niskaru and chose the Thumbs Down "good" path. | ||

Can't have it both ways. Kill the Warsworn or kill the Niskaru Lord. | ||

In one you choose NOT to summon him after killing his disciples, in the other you choose to ... help him.. again after killing his disciples but he is still not summoned... The second scenario ends with "thanks for the help, here is your fate card or whatever, but I don't actually want to be summoned, that other guy was just messin' around." | ||

The graphics are outdated and I absolutely hate the world of warcrafty style, the controls are clunky and not very PC friendly, the menu navigation is horrrrible, it annoys me to no end. Still, I like the game and I'm having fun, it's really weird! I went full might and blacksmithing but I'll probably respec because the game kind of has become to easy with crafted weapons. Just turn on relentless assault and kill everything with a few blows. | ||

Sometimes I summon my skeleton and watch him stand next to me doing nothing while enemies are attacking me. Sometimes I wonder where those little orbs I should get from my shield disappeared to. Sometimes I throw my chakrams around out of pure boredom. In the end, I'll call in a meteor and move on anyway :x | ||

But it breaks easily. I tried re-roling different classes but in the end you only need to dodge sometimes and then just unleash whatever you have that does the most damage : [ | ||

Try that if you like. Also from the hints i figured there would be Diablo like immunities but I'm already level 30 and still everything is vulnerable to fire. That's a bit disappointing. | ||

Bow rapes at least as hard once you put enough skill points into it. Game is just too easy. | ||
