Only TWO HOURS ????
Have you go through this game in 2 hours and reach the Temple of Doom???
That's never good, I fear! And sorry that I should have said: so quickly running through this game does not honor this game!
In 2 hours .... I can't almost believe it ! So fast!! Are you impatient or wish you to play this game to the end in a recordtime??? And so it is, WHY ?
In that case I understood it's frustrating! You're TO fast running through this RPG!! An RPG that need much more exploring, also doing Quests (and sidequest!), Mindreading, talk to many NPC's, use a skill (lockpick) to open chests, etc etc !!
Because that's where game said i should go, it was only natural for me to go there after i expose the location for guards and help them eradicate the bastards, i'm not even trying to do things fast infact i take my time reading books like history of dragon knight and slayres, i'm using mindreading alot but sometimes i feel it's too costly and i'm overusing it, about lockpick it is nice idea not to have to be a rogue for it but some chest are ridiculous high like that chest under chapel catacombs, how you are supposed to have lvl 4 lockpicking that early in a game where you should have skills in combat.
RPG? Ofcourse i know it's RPG i played things like Baldu's gate and DAO, i even took my time to walk in the city instead of running sometimes, i only wish there would be option to just sit on your throne at the battle tower i dont like standing, only time i actually sit is when i ask that girl dance for me.
You are right about one thing though i dont do much of the side quests those are supposed to be optional, unfortunetaly i did find out too late that that you really need that extra exp so you can actually take on bosses.
I played at least 20 hours before enter the bandit camp!
And the Temple of Doom : you must find a way without poisoning yourself and there IS a way! Don't play this game when you wish to turn your "mind" to ZERO!!
Zero? I'm avoiding corpses and you call that zero thinking? Like i said i didint want to step on place where there was corpses in dungeon that means there is deadly trap in that location and should be avoided, now if in that book that i collectet at bandits camp would have said something that they placed corpses intentionally then i could have avoided the poison effect at the very start but it would not have changed the outcome, the trail leads you right in front of the boss that start shooting at you and can't get the melee range.
Please, give it a second chance, but more patient, it's NOT a timerace!
Also, this isn't a game that hold your hand! Explore and discover so much things by yourself and that's also, in my opinion, a great thing!!
I agree with you, somewhere at level 20 when i got my dragon form things startet to feel better maybe because you get acces to Orobas Fjord, but there is still some issues, cut scene right at the start of the game can bug out if you are not fast enough to hit end and you are stuck at infinite loading loop, if you dont see animation to start you better shutdown console,if you took time grinding those goblins for extra cash like i did you are going to be pissed because you are probably going to be send to that autosave where you have not done anything, there is also another place in Orobas Fjord at the imp's lair when you talk to Arthur Gremory you have to click ending fast so it wont get stuck, i want to actually read what NPC's are talking so i find that annoing, the big problem is the bosses, their difficulty level is higher than anything especially last fight and that general Stone, ohboy game went from hard to easy difficulty settings on there, i can bring down entire fortress on air and land but then 1 guy is taking my 500hp with 2 hits not to mention you always start right in front of the boss often having his henchman stun you so you cannot even move.
Didint like ending at all, but still i have been waiting this kind of game for a long time and i felt good doing quests at Orobas Fjord it was only place where you actually can get the feeling of just flying around, hatet those invisible walls, i wantet to fly over mountains but cant, it was probably there so i could not bybass anti dragon zones but still i would have wantet to have more freedom when flying.
