Well, if you don't bother discovering AK, which takes a 'little' initial effort, you'll never experience magic, will you. Perhaps they were raised on D&D where the 2 rarely mix!!
Neither can I, but then I always play a mage!!
I'm interested whether your mage route is the most difficult like G1/G2. You said you are using a staff for melee right? Did they implement weapon rage (reach) like the previous games?
Two, actually - my usual GamerDad and a follow-on to my preview at AceGamez. Of course, in the ~500 word GamerDad review (incl. Kid Factor) there isn't much room for 'delving', but I typically do ~2000 words in my AceGamez stuff.BTW, I'm guessing you'll be having a review of G3 eventually?
