This is one kick ### game.

I am a storm.... "something" although since I picked nature as a second skill base I am now called a druid for whatever reason although I built my main skills in the storm category.

I've had chance to really take in the graphics over the holiday weekend. There are superb!! At first I thought they were great but after playing for this long and checking things out, It looks totally incredible. The way a skeleton flies and bones go everywhere when I kill one and the amount of detail with this action is just great. Loving the game so far. Up to level 13 or 14 and can't wait to get back to it.

Try using your "War Wind" ability when next surrounded by skeletons. It looks really cool when they all get knocked into pieces at the same time and fly apart in a 360 degree splatter of dismemberment.

Oh yea, I hit one with that, he went so high that he still hasn't come down. Not sure if it was a graphic glitch or what but it was just too sweet either way. My younger (console-only-gamer) cousin was visiting and watching me play. He literally couldn't stop talking about the amount of detail in the game. I must say I'm quite impressed with my 7600GT video card and its quality.

The memory leak fix is essential for stable gameplay. We've had the game crash on us more than once and when you play for extended periods the game's performance degrades.
I think that makes the patch a "must-install".

Mrs.TQ is up to level 27 now. She's really racking up the hours with the game.

I had my first crash the other day. I was just walking and BAM! desktop. Loaded right back up and continued with no issue though. I backup my save game files after playing just in case though. Nice to see they will have a backup option with the patch. Looking forward to better inventory system too.

Wow, level 27. That's a lot of time. I'm level 14 at the moment.

I had forgotten that. It is something to look foward to.

When Mrs. TQ finds a game she likes, she commits.

Hehehe... level 27!!! I'm level 14 myself... Still near Delphi.. Problem is I can't really decide which powers to promote with the mere 3 skill points you get on each level up. My arsenal is still lacking power and I only have 1 bag so not too much stuf I can carry around and sell.

But this is one addictive game... Glad I finished the spellforce 2 campaign allready otherwise I wouldn't know which game to choose.

Up to level 20 now.... been playing in Egypt for a while now.... still enjoy it a lot!

Looks like you've passed me up for the moment. I got up to level 15 last night and reached Lower Delphi. But I had to get up early for work so I had to save and quit. But today is Friday, so I'll get some long game time in every night this weekend.
