I do understand what the creator of this thread is saying. He or she completely fails to see the fun in it. Creating a moral then is the result of such an inability. Most-likely he/she bought the game with given expectations in mind and simply was not pleased by what he or she found. This happens ...

You only listed the good things about the combat. What is missing are the bad pieces.

- The camera can move into funny angles so that it becomes impossible to see where you are and what you do. Most notably in fights against bosses where it then can upset.

- You always have to point exactly on the ...

another interpretation

Maybe the goblin in the last room of the mysterious cave is only showing up for show. Maybe it is him who is finally stealing the three mysterious items. I do not believe that there is more to kill after you killed all evil clones. Everything there after is just for show ...

Granny shouldn't be playing

Old, 62 year old grandmothers should be wearing fire resistant underwear. See to it that you have a high fire resistance wearing rings, amulets, books, armour or even weapons, which increase this value. Maximum here is 80%.

More important however is that grandmother ...

I also define best as "do alot of damage in little time" and therefore found the skill tree of DS2 quite a challange. My melee fighters do most damage through their critical hits. I also favoured speed skills over damage skills over resistance skills when I had to decide between i.e. +1% speed, +1 ...

DRAGON MISSING AT SHOWBROOK HAVEN
ISSUE: After the commander at Snowbrook haven tells you to attack Talon the dragon, you either can't find it when you go to the ballista (very large crossbow) at the top of the castle, or you die or save, then can't find Talon upon your return.

NOTE: This problem ...

It's so magic, it's unbelievable!

Honestly, I find the way the devs describe it very strange. On every kill they search through all party members' inventories before they drop an item? Why such an extra effort? If the game is full of these extra look-ups they could have made it simpler and ...

You have done what the knights have ask you to do: Killed all the monsters on top of the castle, returned down stairs again and there helped them defeat an attack? Only then you will see the video of the attacking dragon as well as a working balista to shoot it ...

My problem is that I do not see the point in releasing the animal back into nature. It should atleast turn on you and give you a good fight. But this *puff* and gone ... must be for girls.

The problem with team members not advancing fast enough is a real problem. If their level is too low they can ...

X2 or X3

Feeling bored or maybe not knowing what to do next is a more or less sure sign of computer game addiction.

Get Egosoft's "X2" or "X3", which includes an economical simulation. Once you played through the game's story you can keep on playing it for months. And if that is not enough it ...

XPs

Experience points are overvalued in almost any RPG. Playing the game solo you will soon be above all your opponents level but you do not advance faster when playing solo. You advance fast in the beginning but then would have to skip more and more areas because the amount of XPs needed for the ...

Is it possible to trade items? One could setup a multi-player game and simply exchange all his doubles. So far I just sell them.

dual-wielding

Dual-wielding is the most powerful way of killing in a 1:1 situation. But users of two-handed weapons can do more damage with some combat arts. Swinging a large two-handed sword around in a circle is quite rewarding. What makes two-handed weapons all worthwhile is the art of killing ...

Nasty magic

It is both true. Some curses exclude each other and some can be in effect at the same time.

Because my mage always got attacked as first I now let my knights cast curses, too. Now I use the freed auto slot of my mage to turn corpses into armour :cool:
