I've been playing this quite a bit, but I stopped after I hit a few too many bugs, will pick it back up after they patch it. | ||

I wonder if they considered giving Slicken to the wizard companion you get early on but decided that would make the game too easy. I ended up getting it from a grimoire. | ||

Concerning mages, please balance spells to a reasonable level. Why is my cone of fire doing more damage then my fireball, and a bazillion times more damage then the single target spells of the first spell level? Makes nooooo sense. the game is still great, i hope they put the money the earn from it into the details and build a game that is truly awesome. | ||

And oneshotting someone 2 times per rest as a bonus. Figther with less life pfffff The rogue doesnt have to be in melee if the barbarians AE is better than rogues bonus damage, he gets most of his things at range as well. I do agree on spells, i find myself casting lvl 1-2s more than the other levels, especially with Cipher i had a lot of "meh" when leveling up. | ||

I agree about ciphers, every level seems to have 1 very good spell, 1 kinda useful and the rest is meh, lvel 6 could be better than previous ones but for me amplified wave is bugged and prones enemies for 0.0 instead of 8.7sec. Having huge aoe and decent damage the skill could be really nice, on the other hand mind plague is "I won this fight" button so you don't really need to bother with other spells. | ||

Turned out I was just an idiot and I missed the obvious "north door". Who said mages are smart? Anyway, got 8th level and I'm really disappointed in spells from 4th level.:/ Spent already like 10 hours just walking between districts in the city and making quests - quite a lot of them, lots of reading, loving it. Just now I will leave the city first time in weeks (game time). Game has flaws, some mechanics could be better, but still it feels so good just wandering about. | ||

I have to agree about the mobs feeling all the same. I'm (the equivalent of) 40h+ in on Hard, and I have only learned that shadows/shades don't like fire. Everything else is exactly the same gameplan: pull, tight formation, use all free skils, and maybe a few spells. Most of the time, you only pull half the mobs and slaughter them anyway. Honestly, the biggest point holding me back is my mechanics level. You need a character with +2 starting mechanics, otherwise you have to go back to the +1 inn all the time. I kinda wish there was a +1 or 2 mechc item somewhere, or if there is one, that it isn't so damn hard to find. It could even have a huge drawback, I don't care, I'll give all my gold for it. | ||
