lol, 2000 gold is a decent, fair enough. I was doing it with 1000 gold, but that didn't let you buy much. the enemies are supposed to be really strong until you've gotten into the town to buy gear. the minotaur is weaker than the mage because he's 2 years old.
Nothing to say about the maps, you're absolutely right. maps is my biggest weak point.
The mage lady knows stuff because she's smart and older than gladeus. Yeah, the lengthy opening is helpful, sets up the story for the game. Random forest? did you not read the intro? it's the trader forest, which is where his parents got facerolled.
Fog? please tell me how to do it, I want to get fog in a few areas, but I have no idea how to do it. And yeah man, haven't you ever had a huge burger before? come on now.
But overall, you like it?
