Random thoughts from a newbie

Post by pugsrule »

Fellow “trailblazers”, please excuse me for dumping all these thoughts in one lump sum, but I don’t know where to post ‘em.

I LOVE THIS GAME!

It reminds me of the Utlima series back in the 80s.

Potpourri…..

The combat window needs an “ALL IN” option along with “YES / INFO / CANCEL”. The “ALL IN” would mean that you want the combat to run its course to the end (until one is killed). This would extend our screens from the constant tapping.

Why is Rigmor always hitting on me? She’s the scantly clad female in Fallhaven next to the church, or did Oskar include a bordello in this game? If he did it’s “prolly” a first!

Another first…. Telund (1st house in Loneford) asks me about his father Selgan. Notice the pink dress hanging on the wall. A cross dresser perhaps?

The rest house between Loneford and Brimhaven would be a perfect spot to buy a boat/ship if the developers decide to include seafaring into the future versions.

The pedestals/urns in the crypt SW of Prim would be perfect for a teleportation chamber to jump to other worlds/maps/mini side quests. Other players or contributors could provide scenarios that could plug into Andor’s Trail via this location. This would alleviate the tediousness of grinding endlessly through the same old map to pad up stats.

I marvel at the “cleverness” of the Auleath hiding behind the snow covered pine trees. They are almost invisible until you bump into ‘em.

The most annoying “monsters”, IMO all snakes and frogs. They are pesky creatures hard to get a jump on before the maul you. But they have a “glass chin”.

I’m 55 years old, born in Iowa and raised in Venezuela. Living currently in South Florida. Been addicted to the game for about a month.

Kudos to the team. Thanks a million.

I had a moment to relax while at work, so I decided to login. I read this and just started laughing hysterically. Let's just say that the office silence was broken.

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the boards, pugs... And I agree with you, this game reminds me of the ultima series as well, along with the many other sordid rpgs I used to play back then :)
