You don't even respawn when you die. Some guilds keep spreading rumors that you can earn one, but I know that feature was never implemented in the first place. If you don't have a carriage you must walk for-fucking-ever to reach the next town, and hopefully you won't starve to death on the way there (really? I have to micromanage food too?
Really?). When you finally get there you have a high chance of getting ganked instantly by mounted rangers. There's no balance to this game.
It's just not worth it. So much wasted potential.
So much fucking win I'm gonna die

this game has consumed my life. I haven't seen my girlfriend in almost a week, and I skipped work on Saturday. I'm now level 18 and i have yet to complete a single quest, I spend all of my time dungeon creeping and hunting trolls, giants, mammoths and those shitty fucking Necromancers. Fuck Necromancers.

Yeah, my steam playtime says 30 hours, and I've completed like 2 main quests and a couple of others here and there? Not a lot, there's just so much other stuff to do!

I hate fighting magic users 'cause I'm totally defenseless against them. I doubt the "elemental block" thing applies to 2handed weapons...
Most of the time I just shout them off of cliffs and stuff. There's this one tower where you walk in and there are like five fucking mages just waiting there at the front door to murder you. Don't think I'm ever gonna clear that one.

Effing hate fighting magic users. Ran into this valley of witches for one quest and got wrecked. Took a while to lure them out individually.
And Spriggans can suck it. So much rage.

I was just kidding with the "outside" graphic. Didn't mean to kick the virtual ant hill.

mine was just for comedic purpose too. It wasn't nerdrage.

My sides hurt so bad right now.

have you tried enchanting shit yet? whenever you find a piece of armor that says resist whatever disenchant it, and then enchant whatever armor you're using to boost your defenses.
also, i find spamming the weakest unrelenting force (so it recharges quicker) and poisoning my weapons helps a shit ton.

Yeah, I'm working on enchanting too but I'm totally broke right now after being forced to buy a house so I'll have somewhere to store my growing collection of dragon parts. So I can't buy any superfancy soul gems. If I can only get like 5% resist then it's not even worth it right now
A lot of the pain of fighting mages is because of my combat style, which is exactly like this:
In most games I just rush in and beat the hell out of things. I tend to rely on getting support (or at least a distraction) from teammates...which doesn't happen in this game quite as much. I like 2-handers too much to pick up a shield.

Anyone go through Silverdrift Lair yet? There's a barred off area that I can't figure out how to get into.
