It's difficulty even on easy level is overly brutal. HP and Mana regen is ridiculously slow...you basically have to do what you did in Diablo, buy a ton of overpriced healing potions and just keep hitting them during combat to survive. The armor I have just before I got teh dragon stone is only a little better than when I started the game.
The first dragon transformation battle is brutally insane. Not to mention laughable story points, and main villan that seems to get everywhere he wants but doesn't kill you on the spot even tho he could and he should. Really bad AI in places.
It's a nice world but this game has so many little flaws...if the health regen and mana regen weren't so god awful slow (i mean almost 200g for healing potions? hell, can afford to buy anything else but potions that get used up completely withing 10 minutes of buying them. Often times there is never enough time for potions to heal you enough to keep you from dying.
This is a piss poor RPG when it comes to game mechanics, combat, and fair play. Definite a waste of 30 bucks. I certainly WON'T buy the expansion, especially since I paid 30 bucks for this and the expansion is 20 meaning I'd be paying 50 bucks for something you can buy all in one shot for 40? Bad and stupid business practices too.
This game is all around one big disaster. I though it would be cool to play a dragon, but christ the first time you get to be on you're under a relentless assault from bugs and turrets that blast the hell out of you before you even get close...and try to hide and the shots they fire go through walls and rocks..wish mine would.
Sorry, but I wont ever buy another of your games, this one is so flawed and you have the audacity to release an expansion and not fix what's wrong with the original. What a bunch of BS.
After many years of writing and playing DND modules, and MMOs, my thoughts after playing this game thru chapter one (battle tower) is that LS hired immature just-graduated from game programming school kids to write the quests and name the population. I could have done better with pencil and paper, its not rocket science, really its not! Altering the spelling of name like Mocha Dick? That dev needs to go back to playing WoW, whoever did that to this nice game needs to get back on the shortbus. Half of a famous story is really bad idea and subject to a lot more criticism then others.
Chapter 2, after beating Battle Tower, is when things change but those towers need to have a max range on them lowered a lot. While hovering (as dragon) over the "peanut isle" and getting hit was the most retarded thing ever. I could not see where the hell the hits were coming from, the little black dots in the water, omfg the implied distance was horrendous ... who is thge jack-wagon who coded that piece of combat? Take their butt back to school and teach that (insert extremely offensive expletive here) how to fight for real, then come back and redo all that code. This isnt WOW.
