Hi there, sorry if this question is too trivial, but I'm curious to know the answer so that I can decide how to play the rest of the game.

I've got to the point in the game where I have just entered the abandoned village in the Wasteland (erm... forgotten the name, sorry) with Zandalor and his kitty. I'm finding it very hard to figure out how far through the game I might be (partially because I can't really remember how much I've played so far, since I've been playing it on and off in little sessions over quite a long time). I'd look it up myself in a walkthrough or something, but I don't want to read any spoilers or anything.

Just an approximate percentage of my way through the game (through the main plot at least) would be very helpful.

Also, will I be going back to the first map again, or will I be in this wasteland (or other new places) for the rest of the game?

Please try to answer without giving away any big plot elements <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You're about 90% of the way through the game. There's only a few hours left. You're stuck in the wastelands now. It's months later since the ritual, so going back wouldn't make much sense anyway.

Yeah, I thought I wouldn't be able to go back. That's a bit of a shame - I left loads of quests unfinished there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />. Oh well, I guess I can always play through the game again some time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hoping I'm on a high enough level to finish it off without too much difficulty. I think I'm around 35 or so. If not, I'll just let my scorpion traps handle it. There doesn't seem to be much that can stop them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Level 35 in the wastelands is early, especially considering you gained five levels during the ritual. Not un-manageable though.

If you do all the quests and get most of all monster killing XP, you should be around level 40 when starting the ritual, giving you 45 at the start of the wastelands, and short of 50 at the end.

That sounds like playing a second time round, after you finish, is a must! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I thought I should probably be a higher level this close to the end of the game... Although my character isn't having any difficulty with the enemies around there (or anywhere else so far), so it's not too much of a problem yet. I guess maybe the bosses will tear me to shreds though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

Oh well, I'll have to find the time to play through again when I finish. Maybe I'll play a warrior instead of a survivor, and use swords rather than bows next time. That should change the gameplay a little bit at least <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And then Beyond Divinity <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> (assuming I like the look of it... haven't really read much about it).
