Spoiler if you havn't finished chapter 4.





It seems to me the only difference between the two ways out of the asylum (Portal and Ship) is that you get to do more stuff using the Ship route, since you are missing the entire Sharktown with the portal. Is this correct or is there some other benefit to the portal (well, apart from not having to play a certain part of the game which is a rather silly benefit if you ask me)?

hey there is nice and cool items in Shark City you know... spoiler for those who havent reached chapter 4

you can get the cloak of mirroring in sharkcity which can earn you thousands of exp points you you equip it with anyone and let him/her walk into the midst of the beholder lair, in the underdark... there is also a cool item which can be changed into a sword, mace or something else which i forgot but all of them still have thier own magical properties... there is also some good exp in the city and have fun killing everyone... i killed everyone with using only 2 skeleton warriors and an air elemental...

Heh, yeah, I've been there. What I wondered was if the portals only benefit is being a shortcut?

Yes, the portal's just a shortcut. The sad part is, the logical thing to do is to not trust that bastard Havarian, which means there are a lot of people who simply miss out on the entire Sahauguin City for the sake of having half a brain.

One strategy I always use when playing RPGs is ~ if there are two choices in action like the Portal/no portal option, then I save on a couple spots before trying each choice. That way I find out what I really want to do.

Hey! It works for me!
