Think about it. You go to the basement of a ruined building in a goblin ridden town. You find a hidden passage. You negotiate with a mirror. (A mirror! Who can WIN the argument by the way!) You explore a crypt like lab, you pick the foreboding lock, you steal the book you escape the self closing door, you hunt for clues, you jump in a well, you reload you game repeat- I mean you defeat like seven spiders on your first try, you find a Kaju monster spider, you die- imean you defeat by completely legitimate means, you find the Dark Crystal like in the one 80s movie, you pick that crystal in that stupid book, THEN you pass 3, THREE, wisdom checks in a row which require a 10 then a 15 then a 20!!! You finally get the sucker to work for you THEN

You only get a Speak with Dead spell that you ALREADY HAVE from a necklace that is one-thousand times easier to get in the first dungeon of the whole game.

WHAT?!?

(any thoughts on the subject welcome, but still, why is Larian toying with me?)
