Re: Final Boss

I think it's a bit disappointing that you pretty much rely on his mercy in not restoring the shield once it's down if he's too busy fighting you, as that costs him nothing (apparently), and he could win the fight with the shield alone (although the fact that he *wants* you replace him kind of expla...

Re: Ring on a String?

However, it being a clear referrence to Tolkien's One Ring, there is also a parchment describing how the wearer of the ring dropped his key to the water. I would not be surprised if it also has some hidden bad effect, like bad luck, or loss of critical hits, lower accuracy, etc.

Elemental system

Compared to the amount of texts referring to how "four elements oppose each other", I find the magic system really lacking. 1) Earth sucks completely - highest spell is level 2 poison arrow which does laughable damage over time. Compare to that, fire is much better than everything else. Ho...

Re: Zarchton Harpoon

Which is quite artificial and silly. I understand why slashing or impact weapons do not work, but if you can stab with a spear, you could stab with a sword or dagger as well.

Re: Issue with levelling System

I've played many a dungeon crawler (ie Ancients, Dungeons of the Unforgiven, Moraff's World, Might and Magic, Morrowind/Oblivions/Skyrim, Malevolence, etc...), and this is the first to have puzzles, unless of course you are including the Elder Scrolls games; although, Elder Scrolls puzzles are not ...

Island master fight is a huge disappointment (spoilers)

What a horrible, dreadful, unimaginative ending to an otherwise pleasurable experience. I don't know why developers always succumb to the feeling that every game has to feature a "grand climatic finale" (in other words, long, tedious manual work for the player). Blackwell Epiphany did not ...

Re: Dissapointing firearms?

Firearms should ignore or drastically lower monster's armor. That's what they did historically - they made armor obsolete, at least the traditional gothic metal armor.

Re: What pains me the most.

Honestly, it's just a flawed design. Creating poor control scheme and calling it "oldschool". There should be customizable hotkeys for all actions.

Vitality and Willpower broken?

I have noticed that contrary to what the tooltips say, the vitality and willpower do not increase the health/energy gains with each level, only starting stats. It makes them comparatively weaker stats to STR, and especially DEX. Is a patch to correct this planned?
