Ahh, I mind read everyone and I'm at level 33 and still have 3 fortresses to clear. I take EXP as a reward for every quest though to off set all that mindreading.
Still I've got my mindreading at level 4 and some of these guys are still costing over 2000 EXP.
If they don't give any good info at least they are entertaining.
Any body have a cheat so I can kick that sleeping fishing guy in the harbor in the fjords off the pier and into the water.
