Do you mean that the second time around you don't keep your characters the way you built them up? That would be upsetting! Lothar, Taar and me and all at level 39. I'd hate for that to change.

Jean

I think there is an option..I know I took my crew back with me..I think, hm..got it on board have to take a peak..

That's very interesting that they do that, really gives you the option to mix things up a bit

Ingie

That's a relief, Ingie!

Jean

We do love our dreams, don't we Jean??

blacksmith..sigh

Ingie

Hi Jean,

You keep all your characters, I have Eva as knight, Taar as nature mage and Deru as sharpshooter, and all of them level 44. I met Lothar and Deru on the main terrace in Aman'lu, like doubles, they are level 40 and have new abilities. It should be possible now to add 5th companion. I wonder can you have two Deru's?


Jeja

That's funny! So you met another Deru? Let us know what happens if you try to add a second one.

You should be able to add a 5th character now. I pulled out my manual and it says you can add another when you reach Veteran level. I don't know if you have to play the next level to add a 6th, though.

Jean

I'm stuck again, this time at the Agallan tests. I got the first two waterways open, but can't seem to find the controls for the southern and eastern ones. Neither the strategy guide nor the online walkthrough make sense to me.

Jean

I hate to say this, but this may be where the game ends for me. I just can't see a way of opening the other two gates.

Jean

I think there's a bug in the game here for me. In the secret room, right next to the incantation shrine, when I run the cursor over an area in the right a hand appears as if there should be a lever there. Unfortunateley there isn't anything, and clicking doesn't do any good. I think this is the problem I'm having.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Jean

I got it! Complaining always helps.

Jean

Finished! What a fun game this was. The ending was a surprise, but sure leaves room for a sequel.

I'm starting over as a mercenary so I can have more people in my party. The ending of the first game was me, a fire combat mage, Taar, an ice nature mage, Lothar, melee, and Vix, throwing range weapons. We all ended up at level 44.

Jean

Congratulations, Jean! Sure sounds like you've enjoyed it, especially if you're replaying it already.

I don't know if I'll play the whole game, nickie. I'll see how it goes. Usually the charm is gone after I've played it once, but I'm really curious to see how the others do when I have them all together.

Jeam

Good job, Jean

If you do end up playing on the next difficulty level, keep us posted

I can finally start this game! Upgrades installed on 'puter, and things are just flying along! New processor and new graphics card. Whee! I'm looking forward to it, once I finish Thief DS and Splinter Cell CT.
