I also came across a large drake but one glance at his hit points, and I was off running.

I left Gran Soren earlier and came across a cart and some knights being ambushed by some goblins just outside the gates. The instant I finish off the goblins and see that a few knights have survived a drake swoops down and finishes them off. I grab onto it start, hacking away doing some pretty decent damage but it shook me off and flew away! 

Oh god. 
I've just been banging on about this game to a mate. I think I've got to get it.

Tempy, have you got the order in yet?

I feel with where you are you're on the brink of where it unfurls, revealing its beautifully deep and luxuriant belly.

The opening hours aren't representitive of when you truly get out in the field.

I played the demo, Tempy, even though it wasn't wonderful. 

Bloody Nick is evangelising this like nobody's business. I'm willing to believe!

It sounds like it has a lot of ingredients that make a happy Cooper. Open world, lots of sidequests, plenty of tinkering with characters in a meaningful way, chopping heads off...

Predicting you'll be a bit annoyed/confused to begin with

I'll be very annoyed if the Gran Soren innkeeper doesn't come back. I mean why is there an escort mission with a vital member of the AI anyway. I can't do anything right now.

Sounds a bit similar to losing the Firelink Firekeeper in Dark Souls, it is possible to have her gone for the entire game if you eat her soul like I did SHUT UP

However ZMM, I am nice so here you go:

The inn keeper probably died due to a failed escort quest called "Company for the Road".. you need to go to a different Inn and rest for 7 in game days.. that means resting till morning or night 8 times total.. Asalam should respawn for you.

GOT YO HAIR DID

That's me off til Wednesday. ADDD here we come!

Weather getting shit again.  I might be on this very soon. Get ready to whore out yer pawns.

Well i've been playing since 7pm and i've done fuck all except fanny about in the character editor and do a little DLC coin hunting. lol! It's amazing how much time you can waste fucking about.

I'm doing the occasional quest, but I keep tramping off into the lush wilderness on a whim, encountering all types of weird and wonderful monsters. I've also stumbled across a few places I can't access yet and I'm assuming these are tied in with the main quest. Shiren and his trusty sidekick, Balderak are both lvl 27. I think it's safe to say I'll be buying every bit of DLC released for this.

I bought the hairstyles dlc and it probably wasn't worth it, not even for 160 MS points. They aren't distinctive enough from the regular styles.

You do know that came with a free set of Captain's Armour (which i've been wearing since i got it)? 

Of the DLC i think it's hairstyle No.46 or 47 which is a wonderfully flowing/animated lock of ladies hair, but unfortunately it 'clipped' with the aforementioned armour, so i had to change it.

In other news; i fuckin love Yuria! She is the ultimate healer and buffer. And now she has an aura which you can stand in and it boosts your defence stats. She never attacks anything, which is kinda good cause she's wearing fuck all clothes.

Goodbye semi-naked Yuria (background: fishing, lol), i've finally found your Witches robes. Almost identical to Quelaana's.

Just started it last night and didn't make it very far before heading to bed. Got killed by the very first cyclops. Itching to get back to it, however. As much as I like my new female strider, I think she'd be more comfortable in something other than leather hotpants.
