so, i've finished the game second time, and honnestly i'm a little disappointed.
minor spoilers here
be careful
i worned you guys
firstly, i've decided to look around at the basement after the final battle, because i didn't have the apportunity before. and it got to be interesting, because it's a very sicret place of lord Adrianus, where he were doing a lot of important things as i understand. and you know what i found there?
nothing! it's apsolutely empty!
and secondly, i were trying to act like a jerk, all the time. and i found out that the way you speak with the others doesn't matter at all. sometimes, very rarely, characters answer you differently, and that's all. that's a bit sad that having such a huge variety of replies in dialogues result in such unimportant things and the only one ending.

@Phoenix: If you press control + shift + L it will open a text log, and you can copy the spoken errors from that document.

@Darth Scorp: Spoiler-ish responses to your criticisms below... ***be warned***

Regarding the basement, this has been raised by a couple other folks, and we will probably flesh this area out a bit in a future update. The truth is, it was never intended as a map to actually be explored, and as plans changed and the opportunity to explore it opened up, it simply fell through the cracks and we kind of forgot to do anything with it.

Regarding variety based on your responses, I can tell you with full confidences that how you treat certain characters in the game most certainly does have effects. Will every nasty thing you say have an immediate or apparent effect? Of course not. Nor will every different response have a different effect every time—that would require an untenable degree of variety in quest design and would pretty much double the amount of dialogue in the game. For the record, I'd love for there to be more of this type of dynamic response—but we had to be sparing, because of limited resources. However, to say that there is no difference in the gameplay experience based on what sort of responses you choose is just patently incorrect.

However, regarding the ending, yes, you don't have the option of turning into a dark overlord, or seeing Farhaven completely in ruin, or anything like that. I know a lot of people were expecting this sort of branching ending, but that wasn't a convention we chose to use, for a number of reasons.

So I guess at the end of the day, it depends on what you mean by saying that your choices "don't matter at all." Do they matter in the overall plot? No, I suppose they don't. Do they matter in determining what little bits of narrative variety you experience? They certainly do. But, all of that said, I'm sorry to hear that this didn't live up to your expectations.

***Spoiler for final boss fight***

You can't prevent him from resurrecting. But there is a limited number of times he will resurrect. Just keep at it and stay alive long enough to finally finish him.

Good question. You shouldn't have any issue there. If we do detect any suspicious activity, we'll always check with you before suspending your account, and even if the account gets suspended you have the opportunity to clarify if this was a misunderstanding. But in general you don't have anything to worry about if the account is being used on a reasonable number of machines, and only by one user concurrently.

How do I find Mathius?

The master forged warhammer seems grossly overpowered. But it could be other things contributing to that too. I'm on my third go around, and I tend to fight all the encounters unless I'm just trying to rush through something. So I'm up over level 100. Even still, the volcanic warhammer, which is what I've used when I've started the game, though powerful, does significantly less damage. Even on hard difficulty, the master forged warhammer is pretty much guaranteed to kill everything in one hit. The only reason it doesn't is because it missed...

Major Spoiler
Any items you get for completing quests, as well as items you take from display cases are considered unique items. This means you cannot start your game with the master forged hammer, since this is one item you can choose as a reward for completing Tools of the Trade.

@1,660, you should find Mathius somewhere in the forest.

Hi guys. Joseph, did you get the email about the updated text? Also, can someone please write a walk-through for this game? Preferably a text walk-through, not detailing the story, but describing where you need to go to complete and obtain certain questions.  I meant to use the word quest, but dictation decided to do its own thing. I just left that in there for a few laughs.

so now I'm on the second stage of the supply lines quest and it says that I have to find 15 nightshade plants.
the graveyard is my best bet but the quest also says that someone in my party can recognize nightshade plants.
who can recognize nightshade plants and where can I find them in the graveyard?
I've been wandering around the graveyard aimlessly trying to locate them but Where are the plants?
I've already gathered 20 wolf pelts on the first stage of the supply lines quest.

Was it meant that we can do any quests that increase some chosen stat once per playthrough and stack the reward? Seems like that would be a bug, unless there's some limit on it that I just haven't reached. I'd think since you can't keep unique equipment and fast travel and the like you probably wouldn't keep extra attribute rewards from quests either. Or there would be some kind of diminishing return on running them up or something like that.

Correct. I was trying to point that out with the hints. LOL. Hope that clueing you in about living off the land would give you a hint about the plants. LOL. Now you know who to take with you.
