Just got to chapter 4 by fabio 07/08/2012, 3:00pm PDT
FUCK the chapter 3 boss "fight" where you have to outrun the bug queen. You have to use your force push spell to knock down support beams so the debris slow down the queen, but the debris from the first supports always crushes you with it, even at max range for the spell. After a dozen failed attempts it turns out you're supposed to circle around the stone wall and cast the spell from there, going through ten feet of solid stone like a Newton's Cradle despite the spell never working like this all game. The distance of solid wall it has to travel through is longer than the usual max range.

So I sided with the knights. They act like asshole right wing evangelists, but the elves act like teabaggers so fuck em.

(This by the way is by far the most interesting portrayal of elves in a fantasy genre. Much better than Dragon Age's inept attempt to copy this game.)

The story has the same problem as Game of Thrones: not enough time spent on the interesting plot of politicking, too much time spent on pointless fantasy cliche plots.

I followed your advice on leveling the fire spell and the combat is much less tedious now. Though the leveling system is getting silly. I haven't gotten a single gold talent point yet I've pretty much filled out every bronze slot and the game keeps dumping more on me. Is there some secret I'm missing to getting gold points? I just assumed I had to wait until a certain level.
