The occasional great items become more common in the later chapters; but that is beside the point. The biggest reward for beating the snot out of the enemy is... BEATING THE SNOT OUT OF THE ENEMY!!

I think the biggest reward is surviving each battle. It is the North Land which means low population, less items lost by people, it is realistic that you are not going to find many items in the Dale.

Originally posted by NobleNick: Oh, and I would heartily disagree with the original "replay value" post: IF you like the game play to begin with (i.e., you like exercising battle tactics), the replay is excellent. I've started two more new games before even finishing the first! And shuffling (exporting) characters back and forth between games is a riot!

I agree totally. NobleNick your one of the few people I know who enjoys this game more than me. I have not played in a few months but I will have to play again to finish soloing through HoW, and TotLM.
