I have to say, here in August 2014, playing the Steam version, Fergus is a huge surprise so early on in the game. I read everyone's comments about having loads of pots, upgrading skills, doing things and finding stuff, and I think 'How?' As far as I can see, there are a few cells, an underground tunnel and one room to explore before Fergus's room, and there's no opportunity to gather so much equipment and level up so many skills.
It's incredibly frustrating, for sure, but it's also hugely good fun. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back for another try!
