sigh... high school. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I was lucky in that there were a lot of geeky kids just like me there so even though I was out of the group I had a group... and we were the intellectuals who didn't care about all the crap of high school cause we were beyond it... it was still horrid, but it was bearably horrid.
Profane perhaps in opposition to sacred (as in "the Sacred and the Profane," Mircea Eliade. which I'm not sure anyone reads anymore... great sonnet tho.
the letters are good, the drawings good, the thigh shots good.
I had the same bugged quest that you did, whoever it was, Morgoth I think, doing both smuggler and the other. but it didn't matter anyway, since the expansion didn't mean anything
I finished it tonight and I give it maybe a B-. I had fun playing it. I thought the loot was whacked, the approvals whacked. The runecrafting COULD be a good thing BUT to introduce it in a short expansion meant that I ended up feeling like I had to waste time getting runes made. I ended up not making a single one of Wade's new armor or weapons cause I was missing either the rune or some other thing I didnt' want to travel around for. Not too bad since I was pretty much spoiler-free this time. and the loot I did get made it pretty trivially easy to complete. The quests were sort of interesting. I just wish the Architect was more drawn out (It helped that I had read the books) and that we had more time with the characters. In a way it was both too much and not enough...
I loved Nathaniel and Anders and Sigrun. I will definitely play it again, though I don't think I'm compelled to put every character through it.
Reading the Zev epilogue card...again, and at the end of the game, I have to admit it didn't bother me so much in the context of the game. It seemed pretty obvious there that they just wanted to tie in the Character to her love interest, but wanted just One card fits all, so if you ended up with Zevran "somehow" during the last game, you got that card. I WAS surprised, however, that I LEFT the Gray Wardens...
At any rate, I'm looking forward, now, to downloading Zevring and starting a Dwarf Commoner with LONG HAIR (my other started one has hair that is too short I think...)
Hugs to all. My birthday in ONE HOUR !!
