AgentBirdnest: It's been 4 hours, and I'm still not sure how to play, what I'm supposed to do, if there is an objective, what the story is, or what this thing is at all :-p
LOL yup sounds about right... and yet despite (because of?) all that, still strangely compelling no?
CarrionCrow: Hmm. My plague doctor took an axe to the skull, and now my vestal keeps screaming for monsters to beat on her when she's not busy cutting herself. Wonderful.
I really like this game. Masochism seems to be a BITCH of a trait. I still haven't beaten the first Necromancer (but did get the Siren!) I have a graveyard full of heroes and every time I land a man at arms (and / or arbalest) he seems to die immediately but I'm still having a blast.
I love that insanity makes party composition very fluid - I'm constantly rolling in and out new heroes, discovering crazy new party "builds" and then having them stomped just when I get too comfortable. Been A LOT of fun.
Also, WTF is the point of the Antiquarian? Solely to craft during camping?
