Am i the only one who had trouble figuring out how to survive the first few levels of the game? this game is hard if you just run head on and fight every creature like its a trading blows sort of thing.


but now that i've figured out how to survive, i've found it to be a much more fun game!

i can't wait to get some fireballs going on!

and the intro! wowzies, what a great way to start a game! not a big fan of FMV, which is why i never got into the later wing commander games.

Yes, the beginning was hard for me too. I hated the lack of map before I found the journal. Also I needed to get the hang of combat to avoid getting maimed. I am in the Sharga Mines Level 2 and things got a lot easier. Several weapons, runes and two dwarf companions. The game gets better, easier (so far) and interesting if you stick with it and progress.

POSSIBLE SPOILER! (?)

There is a secret weapon at the beginning, for everyone who wants easy mode :)

Yeah the the early levels are possibly the hardest part of the game, although it does get tough again at the end. Once you find some companions and some magic, and learn how to fight more effectively (move around a lot!) things get much easier.
