Start game.
Character creation.
Disappointed that goblin isn't an option.
Disappointed that class is linked to race but whatever it's an old game.
Can't decide between making my character a half-elf druid avenger or gnome thief.
Settle on druid avenger because playing as an eco-terrorist sounds fun.
Become disappointed that druids can only be true neutral.
I make my characters skin green and give them the old lady voice because fuck you game I wanted to make a goblin.
Walk into the Inn.
Insult every noble visiting the inn.
Leave.
Enter a house and get jumped by an assassin.
Die.
Lmao this game rules.

fair, the spider forest shit was annoyingly long. i didnt mind the bandit camp bits. i liked the cloakwood mines too, really. but the fucking spider and ettercap infested forest you have to wade through to get to it... ugh.

but i also really enjoyed just exploring the mostly empty bits on the side, which were 100% plot-irrelevant little universes in themselves with just a few little quests.

There are a lot of cool things out in the boonies, weird encounters, weird quests, weird items.

I enjoy the side adventures but sometimes you want to get through it faster and that part always drags for me even just splitting it into Bandit Camp->BG->Mine would be much better for pacing imo.
