Because Yoormurjak's Ring is making me use brain cells that have long since gone dormant, I needed something mindless so I picked up Sacred 2 - they had me at Diablo-like; anything mentioned after that was pure gravy. I'm currently running a Light-worshiping Dryad with a bow and blowgun. I may - if I can - turn her into a sword-weilding mass o' destruction as I'm all about swords dripping acid, poison or fire.

What I hate:

The mini-map is almost useless as it's too small to really tell where I am. I can toggle out to the main map to get my bearings, but I'm likely to get ambused which brings me to my second dislike;

No ability to pause... for. any. reason. WTF? How the hell do I swap out equipment or check my location if I'm going to get attacked?! I died within the first minute of the game - no exaggeration - because I was fumbling with the controls and didn't realize the game wasn't paused. [Image Can Not Be Found] Apparently the only safe places to fiddle with my equipment/spells/hair is in town.

Respawning - but then, how else do I level up if I can't lay the smack-down on the same enemies over and over again?

The ridiculous armoured bra & panties the female heroes are forced to wear. um... if my rippling abs are exposed that's pretty much an "achilles heel" in the real world.

What I like:

The sheer joy invoked when laying said smack-down on the same enemies over and over again.

Night and day cycles, watching leaves/pollen drift into the air when I walk through the tall weeds, splashing in the surf.

Lots of side-quests. I haven't even tried to do the first part of the main quest as I keep accepting fetch quests from just about everyone I meet.

Heroes chest: If I decide to play the game as another character items stored in the chest will be available for my subsequent characters. Of course, I'm a mercenary wench and anything I don't want I sell so I'm not sure how much there would be in that chest.
