O, I find the Ranger with a bow a very nice thing to use! No problems with this (play on xbox) at all!
I love to use a bow much more than in other RPG's!
@SeriousBusiness:
Woow .. you can perhaps go to Belgium for helping Larian with the next game(I'm serious!) ... at least, I Hope they make further on more RPG-games!
But one thing I will say about making a "Arena" in an RPG:
for me not necessary in this game (how it IS on this moment): a balanced gameplay.
But I guess you mean, if you wish an "Arena", you known other things must also be changing (level up some enemies etc), because when I was at the end I was level 35 and it was more than possible to defeat the final battle.
But suppose I can increasing my XP in an Arena, which level will I reach on that case?
And for what purpose?
To make the game much longer and with more & stronger enemies, more quests and longer storyline ?? (I can agree

)
OR
make the game not longer, but in such way so that leveling up goes faster... ?? (can't agree I think)
