    I play this game a lot. except for the Odd day where my Life comes into the picture. This game is long and has a lot of quests. You guys must be complete addicts, i can maybe see u beating the game "straight" through quickly, but there are strong Enemies in this game that aren't beaten so easily. I just don't see how everyone talks about that they have used so many different characters, when it takes so long to beat the game.

    The first time though the game takes pretty long, but after that you know which quests to do now and which to do when your high enough level. not to mention you should know your way around magic and stuff like that.

    [​IMG] I'll stick with what Soren Incantus says.
    I'm still only on chapter 2 (almost finished) but that because my wife nags me not to play or else I would have finished the game by now. :)

    Don't you just hate it when your life interferes? If it's not the girlfriend, it's work. If it's not work it's you need to eat something before you pass out. It's a conspiracy i tell you!

    ARGH! I'm playing this game in the middle of my A level exams!!! That's how addicted I am. In my country, you fail this exam and you work in a fast food restuarant for the rest of your life! No offense to anyone intended, of course.

    [​IMG] I totally understand that Shura! I'm in my 3rd year of Law School in the States, and I've been playing this!

    It is definitely addictive...I only have finals in my classes - I'm not too worried about it, but at least I don't have to worry about working in a fast food place if I don't do as well as I would like!

    If only I had a potion of mind focusing handy...LOL!

    I got you study boys beat. I'm a professor, and I have got a mountain of research to catch up on, two exams to write, and a conference presentation to do in a week and a half that I haven't written word-one of yet...all because of this damn game. So let's hear it for the other side of the fence.

    [​IMG] Yes, but I am studying really boring subjects this semester...Family Law, Federal Income Tax Law (US), Sales & Leases, and Criminal Procedure...All yawners!

    I'm amazed I can stay up long enough to play this game! Sorry, I just wanted to whine about it a little more! :D

    Sminnis, does that mean you cut your students some slack when they tell you they failed the exam because the dragon flamed their homework? lol

    If so, where do I sign up for your group??

    I live in Canada and i'm going for my MCSE - Micrsoft Systems Engineer. So far i've completed 4 of the 6 Exams. TCP/IP and IIS are left. I'm being lazy as hell in doing them.

    Now listen to this, i got some Hell coming up. My MCSE certification expires next June and the new Windows 2000 MCSE comes out, the courses that is. Meaning my Certification becomes MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) of NT 4.0 and now if the Company i'm working for changes to Windows 2000 i gotta go UpGRADE! AHHHHH!

    I gotta do this my entire life whenever something changes :(

    oh well, Computers are fun though!
