Agreed! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Go play Bloodmoon... that way you can get snowed on instead (and still not be able to see anything, and make the game sloooooow down).

I haven't finished Tribunal yet; my character got stuck in the Dome of Kasia in the Clockwork City.

I did get frustrated with several elements in Tribunal, like the "trivia collector" quests, the fact that most alchemical ingredients weigh a full pound, that everyone you work for seems to be off their rockers (Mournhold-induced insanity?), and the dizzying claustrophobia induced by the endless sewers. Sewers. Yuck!

I also get fed up with dungeons where suddenly you can't use your levitate spells (or whatever). What, did gravity suddenly get extra strong? Is there a No-Magic-Levitate field in which you can use all OTHER magic potions? Or is it just that my boots are so clogged with sewer-muck from the under-Mournhold that I can no longer get them off the ground, magical help notwithstanding?

I agree, this did not seem well-designed. And I will try NOT to keep bugging you about Bloodmoon, but.... it definitely has a more-designed feel to it than Tribunal did, as well as other things to look at, lighter alchemical ingredients, cool-as..terisk swords, fun quests, quest-givers that keep buying you drinks ("oh, here, have another"), and a LOT more random wisecracks from the NPCs ("This guy comes from the barrel at the BOTTOM of the barrel", "So, this toothpaste, it helps stick your teeth in your mouth?"). Actually, it seemed to fuel a lot more wisecracks on the characters over in Vvardenfell as well (oh, and a quest may originate on the continent too).

Alright, alright, I'll stop already!

I think the thing I liked most about Tribunal was allowing the assassins to keep attacking me over in Vvardenfell, and then selling the armor. Mmmmm, money!
