Re: Problem with spiders, severe arachnophobia

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have an irrational fear of spiders, too. Come to think of it, I don't like many kinds of insects, either. Cockroaches gross me out. Regarding the spiders specfically: they must be my least favorite kind of enemy to fight. It doesn't help that the devs made them as big...

Re: Does magic skill increase spell damage?

I suspect the devs won't want to increase the entropy of the game too fast for us by revealing much more ;oP Still a few extra descriptions may help get the ball rolling. Interesting viewpoint. If that's true, it's interesting that they didn't make the same decision for weapon skills. It's very obv...

Re: Please FIX the XP system!

I agree with the original poster. Give full experience to everyone please. I agree with almost all gameplay decisions but this one doesn't make much sense.

Re: Why is there No Quiver?

As long as we're just posting opinions here, I'd like to go the other way on this. It's clearly (to me) a gameplay mechanic to force you to hold the ammunition in the off hand, preventing the use of a stat-boosting off-hand item like a shield. That's the tradeoff you have between wielding a missle w...

Does magic skill increase spell damage?

Hi everyone, The desscription of each magic skill (air, fire, earth, ice) says that putting points into the skills makes each "more efficient". However, this can be loosely interpreted to mean that skilling up to use the "improved" version of the main offensive spell (for example...
