I just defeated Cet, so I guess that's it. Overall, I really enjoyed the game, but I must say that I was somewhat disappointed with the ending. Yeah, the whole game was fairly easy, but Cet was a piece of cake. I had blessed and enchanted every ring and cuff I could find, so my guys were practically invincible. My guys were also powered up with Bloodlust, Heroic Might, Merlin's Shield, and every other spell I could think of. My characters with the Mavin Sword and Staff of Death were inflicting major damage (sometimes 80+ points or more) with every swing and Cet wasn't touching me at all. In fact, when he died, I was still in almost perfect health. It's too bad that the hardest bad guys in the game were the Mantraps so early on...

Also, I was a little disappointed that the game ended by just sending me back to town. I don't know what I expected, but some recognition from the townfolk would've been nice. Or maybe a parade...

Don't get me wrong; I really enjoyed the game. It occupied quite a bit of my time from November to March. I know many of you have played multiple times, but I can't see myself doing that. First of all, my wife would kill me. Secondly, if I'm gonna waste that much more time with a video game, I'd like to play something new that I don't already know all the secrets to. Overall, I give the game a Thumb's Up, but there are certainly things I would've changed if I were the one who designed it...

The lack of a really GREAT ending may have a lot to do with the fact that the production resources were running very low and they were (so I have heard) trying to be certain that they beat Wiz 8 to the market (not much problem there). There were many times in the game where I felt like they meant to expand on this or meant to refine that and just weren't able to. Over all this is still one of the best CRPG games I have played in a long, long time! So thumbs down for the final battle with Cet and ending and a BIG thumbs up for the game as a whole!
