I liked the idea of that but most of it was too much hassle in practice. Right to the end, most battles were either over in seconds or could be won by abusing the shield magic. So going through the fiddly menus to find the right potion or whatever just wasn't worth the effort.TheDJR wrote:I never got bored of the preparation stuff like checking the bestiary and choosing the right oil, potions, bombs and signs but I can definitely see how anyone could.

Was at a good point to deviate from the main quest, so looked through my list and picked one out that seemed straightforward enough for my level - something about pearl diving.
That bit was easy enough, but the quest left me in the middle of a stormy island with either a tricky journey back or a lighthouse further ahead.
I headed for the lighthouse to see if it had a signpost for fast travelling, only to discover a creeping mist hiding a dead body, this led me to another short but interesting (never trust a lighthouse keeper) little hunting quest. I cleared that but was instructed to report back to some guy at a inn.
I headed for the inn via the signpost, where I was harassed by two miserable Irish fellas. The guy I was meeting saw them off and spoke with me for a bit, after which the two tossers were back. Cue fisticuffs, but things got out of hand, the two shits pulled swords and killed the other guy, so I killed them. Mob of locals led by the father of my victims outside, and I'm hauled off to jail!
After a jedi mind trick I'm out of jail and negotiating with the local Jarl who agrees to let me go if I help his son go on a weird herbal trip down a cave...
Cave cleared and I'm back in the middle of nowhere, I looked at the map and located the most likely place to have a signpost and headed there. Along the beach with the wind in my hair, I turned up a hilly path...fucking big dragon! Horse bolts, I leg it with a sliver of health left (dragon is about twice my level), only to find a lighthouse beset on all sides by harpies (or some such). Fuck! I run away just far enough to call my horse, we escape the harpies and dragon only to find the place we're headed instead is a fucking monster nest!
Great game!
