After finnish up in the city I am getting kind of tired of the constant mindless clicking in battles. It wouldn't be so bad if they tossed half a dozen monsters at a time, however getting swarmed CONSTANTLY by 20+ wolves, goblin casters or even giant poison spiders at once is not ammusing in the least!
The only way to stay alive is run in big cicles constantly blocking and clicking to attack. Even combos are almost useless in these battles, and you can't seem to use the terrain to any advantage ether out side of town.
Monster spawn levels are insane, even compared to W&W monster spawn, I am playing on normal, but never though it would be one battle right after the other!
Lets talk about quests, the main quest so far is still holding up ok. Nice to chat with people about what the hell is going on. However there are a few issues in general with the quest system. Many of the quests dont update properly to reflect the steps you are on. Nor do you have a real log to keep track of conversations, break out your pad and pen or you will be screwed beyond repair unless you have photographic memory or love to hunt down walk throughs, which I hate doing.
The few placed encounters are so far, well done. I liked the guardian in the catacombs and its special attacks, lich puzzle was ok but it was way to vauge. The headless guys (2) are a good battle. Maybe I just prefer the one on one type battles as you get to concentrate instead of getting gang banged but dozens at once...
All in all at the moment I had to stop playing and take a breather, because the game is annoying the hell out of me at present. Maybe I will drop the encounter frequency down a notch or two...
