Alopix: I don't know where you get "places you shouldn't be yet." The player isn't given knowledge of that.
Yes he is.
Alopix: The quests aren't even given to you in order.
Yes, because this is not an jrpg. You can talk to people in any order so what did you expect?
Alopix: Just doing a run of the shops and important NPCs before heading out of Hillbrandt gets you an hour of reading(Which I didn't mind at all, they clearly put a great deal of effort into the dialogue,) half a dozen locations and ten quests with no indication of which order you're supposed to do them in. You have to visit and explore each of the locations presented for clues in order to solve each quest. I mean, it's easy enough to go to the graveyard and farm XP... oh, but oops, you went down into the crypts, found *spoliers* and now you're dead. And your little dog too.
There is no specified order, how hard can it be to understand it? You know that nonlinearity is good, right?
You don't NEED to farm, it's just a possibility if you're having problems (like in 90% other rpgs). I cleared the whole graveyard and a tomb without any farming with a priest and a paladin, both at lv 11 on hard difficulty and I killed Spoilers with just a few pots. Also, I don't know if you went there with dog alone but you should have 2 companions.
Alopix: The game punishes the behaviors that RPGs teach players: Talk to everyone about everything, explore every crevice of every area you're allowed into, and collect ALL the things.
Funny because that's exactly what I'm doing and I'm having a blast with this game.
seinn99: Sorry a little OOT, the one that always make me frustrate is the ghost enemies like Spirit and Fear, especially Fear, just one of them is enough to make me load the game several times, and they are so many on specific place. Its magic attack cause high damage to all of the party and each damage I inflict to them is so small. Maybe there is a way to make the battle with them easier? I need genie to kill them (and I'm amazed, they kill one of my genie, I thought genies are invincible -__- ). Apart from that frustrating enemies (for me), the game is good and challenging enough imho :)
I forgot to say it earlier. The trick to defeating the spirits is using the seals or magic. They have 90% immunity to
physical attack but they don't really have a lot of hp. Good you figured it out :)
