Congratulations and a suggestion or two

Post by Jtarz »

As a 70-yr-old it's a while since I've played a serious computer game, but this has been engrossing. Couple of suggestions, though. While all my frustrations were satisfactorily dealt with by reading through forum items, I think you might do well to have an online user guide as such, where players could ask for, and get, graduated hints for the dilemmas they find themselves in.

Not just dilemmas but also issues such as "where does the such and such key have a use?" Some items turn out to be of significance such as a goblin key, others not so much such as the stinger or the widget; the user should be warned or even prevented from throwing away the important stuff. The ability to sell an important item would not be problematical as long as it stays in the inventory of the merchant.

I am impatient to see Book II already. Congratulations on the care and thought you put into this.

Oh woah! I'm tempted now to edit my first post on these forums. Apparently I'm not quite the old timer gamer I thought I was... 6 days away from 49 at the moment. And here all these years I (and my kids and grandkids) thought I was weird because I enjoyed D&D, RPG gaming at my age as they would put it. :shock:

We, the elder game players (40+) (I'm 61 by the way so I do claim to be an elder RPG player), are a force to behold. Sometimes we do need a little more detailed explaination things. A good online guide, accessable to those who have purchased the game would be nice.
