Entering Severed Hand... how much longer to go?

Post by Klorox »

Just wondering here. About how much more game time will there be for me, as I'm just about the enter the Severed Hand (I figure this is a good spot to leave off for now)?

TIA

Severed Hand is mainly a lot of running around. It really drags on you -some sidequests are more interesting than anothers, but the main one is just *tiring*. So if you are in a mood for a quick finish, don't do Severed Hand. I think it took me at least 4 or 5 hours to get that done.

I have no idea what to do if I don't do this building. What else can I do?

Nothing. You have to do the Severed Hand to finish the game. The point of Domi_Ash's post was to tell you not to expect to whip through the Hand by massacring everything in your path.

Okay, I'm almost there. I've completed every quest I can think of, and have two questions:

1) Before I start this ritual, can I rest after it, or is this my last chance? Is there a specific spot to rest?

2) Can I get away with slaughtering all of the bad guys in this temple I haven't gotten to yet, like those red wizards (reminds me of that scrub Edwin), or will I bust my game if I do?

TIA
