We're talking about Divine Divinity, LiOnHe@rT. It's another CRPG that's gotten a couple of us hooked, and until Ziroc decides to open a DD forum (which he's contemplating, once the switch is complete), we're discussing it in here. In this thread, actually, which I've been doing to avoid clutter on the WW forum. Wouldn't do to have 14 posts about DD on the first page now, would it?

DD is what started this whole thread, and the downloadable demo (which is completely incompatible with the real game, since it's an early release) got me hooked. Packrat and I are discussing some of the things we've come across in the game.

And Packrat, I met the engineer. Fortunately I've been a little bit obsessive about gold, preferring to barter for gold plus items whenever possible, so I was carrying enough. Haven't finished the sewers yet; the first orcish mage gave me fits, although I finally felled him. Got to get my sword to five and my agility up, I think. It's amazing how many times I can swing at a frozen enemy and still not hit him... Haven't finished the sewers, so I haven't found the executioner or any of the other critters you mentioned.

Have you followed the magic carpet guy's dialogue to the end? I think I got some kind of merchant bonus, although Traders Tongue is still at level one. Perhaps I should have dialogued with him first... I'll remember that for another game.

I'm in the process of going back to the southern edges. I hadn't visited Malix yet, so I delivered the message and am working on the orcish stuff in the south. Kind of nice when three strikes takes out an Orc Warrior, crossbowman, heavy warrior, or elite guard. About the only one I have trouble with is the really big one (heavy elite dark guard, or whatever he is). Him, I've got to hit lots of times, occasionally repairing my sword mid-fight.

Just got my agility up so I can use a nice bow that I found (forget the name, but damage is 65-171 or thereabouts). And then I went too quickly last night and got surrounded by orcs. They nailed me in short order (man, I hate those war drummers!). I decided to save the reverse time spell for tonight.
