I just beat the game for my first time, as a level 43 mage...
Few things.. I never used charms because I didn't know what to do with them... Ended the game with a billion charms in my packet... How were you supposed to use them? Also, where was that dragon breastplate? I searched quite a bit in Verdistis... Talked to both rich nobles.. Did the Dante quest... Patrick gave me no quest... Did Tilgurf(or whatever his name is)'s quest as far as I could.. I alerted the guards, found the black market... But the quest didn't proceed farther.. Don't know if that had anything to do with it...
Apprently it is due to the buggy game that I never got the quest... Oh, and also, let me ask... When you save the boy from the vampire in the dark cave NE of the merchant area, how do you get into his chamber? The door locks and I couldn't find a way in...
