ellilion Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Finally had a chance to sit down and play last night and today for a couple of hours of play and it's has the same gameplay as the first but updated rules, graphics, etc. Oh I'm ready for some co-op play, I have a 3/2 lev Fighter/Wizard moon elf character right now. Working on the graveyards to the east of Fort Locke. I have freed the refugees in the bandit camp but haven't been able to take out everyone in the house yet that wizard messes me up, going to try to lev in the graveyard and head back to see if i can take it out.

Dragon Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Spoiling some of it for us already ellilion. I just got to Fort Locke got one mission from there. I'm thinking about getting the Strat guide for it since who knows how long it'll take to get a good faq up on gamefaqs. Dragon Quote
bobsbrat Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I wont tell anybody where I am yet but I'm quite past Forte Lock. Somehow I think I missed the graveyards though owell I will find them second round. Quote
Nemesis Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Looks like we found a game for the upcoming LAN Party @ the VFW. So, who all besides me, Mindbender, Dragon, ellilion & bobsbrat are playing this beastie? -- Nem Quote
