true.
however, the minimap doesn't show you how many (esp if its a big group, in which case its a red blob) NOR does it show you their level.

that's slowtrain's problem.

until it happens to you, you can't imagine how dreadful it is, esp when you assume that you're in an area that's relatively safe. as it was his first visit to arnika, how would he know?

i know when i arrived in arnika after that horrific trip down the arnika-trynton road, i was kissing the ground, jumping for joy and just completely relieved. until i ran into a group of savant guys, mixed in with a troop of HLL who were patrolling. i thought my heart was breaking.

i realized at that point, that there was NO safe haven in the world of dominus, until i made it so. i think this is the first game that has ever happened to me. in every other rpg i have played, there was always a safe place. inns didn't have baddies trying to kill you. nor did the city streets. maybe an odd encounter once in a great while, but not like dominus. ::sigh:: life on dominus is very hard and demanding.
