If you don't have any trouble, you really shouldn't bother with them. IMHO they're just tiresome, boring hack 'n slash levels. I finished the whole game without visiting the BF (well, without fighting there, I did buy stuff from the merchants there) and I did just fine.
Very good. I'm off to enjoy BD then--Act II. I'll keep a save game for the end of Act I just in case.
The fifth quest by the way you can get from Keith (he's always hiding someplace). I believe in act I there is a path leading north of the village, he's at the end of the path.
The problem is that all five merchants gave me their quests and I completed one of them. That should leave 4 open in the Quest book but there are only 3.
However, since I'm going to skip the BF anyway... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />
