Well, I'm currently stuck in Act I, have no idea how far in. I'm at the point where I have to get through the main door of the barracks/training area and can't seem to figure out how to get it open. I'll try again later.

As for the game itself, I have to say that I'm intrigued with it. Frankly, it's kicking my butt and is anything but easy playing in Tactical mode. I guess it's just getting used to the adjustment from DD because I'm doing much better now. Still, the game seems very unforgiving in that you think you're character is safe and the next second you're reloading.

I'm currently undecided on the battlefields mode as yet. I've done one dungeon and it was pretty dull (not to mention easy) and I got a whole lot of money out of it and some nice items. I would say that it makes the game too easy, except I'm getting my butt kicked anyway, so perhaps I need the help. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, I'm still really trying to understand how things work. I'm the kind of gamer (old-school wargamer) who likes to know all the rules up front and I'm still trying to figure out how things work so I can create good characters. Right now I'm trying a Paladin warrior/Dark Knight mage combo which I think I'm going to stick with. It's had enough to keep me interested so far and I've enjoyed interacting with the various NPCs and the like.
