What was your ending playtime? I am about 35 hours into the game now and I still haven't been to the strip.
11 hours. I rushed through it since there is no real point in doing sidequests. :lol:

:huh: What do you mean? In my opinion, just like in Fallout 3, the side quests and exploration are the best parts of the game. The story in these games is weak, but the overwhelmingness of how much there is to do more than makes up for that fact. Honestly, I was just leaving Nipton at the 11 hour mark, so how you finished the entire game in that time is a mystery!

I couldn't imagine playing a game like this the way that you must have. It is your game, so you can play it how you want, but I think you've wasted your money, because it seems like such a waste of what this game has to offer.

I'm replaying right now on hardcore and taking my time with it. The reason I went through the game so fast was because I was really disappointed by it. I also butchered the way I wanted to play through it by accident because of the whole faction thing. The side quests don't have any achievements attached to them so I originally said screw it. I was also getting constantly murdered by crazy ass monsters that came outta no where. I was pissed off and I just wanted it to be over. :lol:

Yeah, judging from Rag's complaints about the difficulty and any mob being your last, I wouldn't take one step off the beaten path either. What would make that worth it?

It's insane. You aggro one mob and you end up aggroing its whole family while you're at it. This was just trying to go from quest to quest. I would get raped from behind by a deathclaw or a pack of green hornet things and lose up to half an hour to an hour of play. :angry: It's a common friggin occurrence.

Beat Costume Quest (100%). It was a fun game for the holiday. Not fantastic since the battles all play out the exact same way, but charming and quirky enough to be worthwhile.

It is true that this game is tough and brutal. So, I recommend saving often. Currently, I am using 40 save slots with the difference between the oldest and newest being about 10 hours. I save after every important thing I do, in order to hopefully not have to do it all over again. Also, this game is glitchy, so I'm not taking my chances.

Does a game not strike you as completely busted when it calls for the use of 40 save files?

Oh, it's busted alright. About to be broken after I snap the disc in half.

Not really. In any other RPG I usually use anywhere from 10-20. I just erase them all when I am finished.

Nate, TFM has what I have, it's called saveittis. It's where you save many more files then necessary, and then have no idea what files are for what when you are done. :lol: I've got a bad case of saveittis with games that let you save anywhere. I save very often. Back when I played Oblivion on my old computer, I had over 150 save files for the game. It took up almost a gigabyte of space. :lol:

I save once. Sometimes twice if I think I'm about to get locked into something. :lol:

No daylight, I'm too weak to face it!
I think I had somewhere around 108 save files in Oblivion. Not because it was busted, but because I'm OCD with saving and thinking I might have missed something.

Anyway, I finished up my easy run on Arcania. Ended up being quite a bit more fun than the hard run. Still a broken and incomplete game, but fun to play at certain points. Sucks that 2 of the cheevos are glitched probably forever since Jowood doesn't support their halfassed games once they release them. That's probably my last Jowood purchase. They seem to have a habit of releasing broken and unfinished games.

I beat Gurumin, it was a decent game, but I was getting a bit sick of it at the end though, the programmer was getting lazy at the end and started to recycle levels (I basically had to go through the same levels in reverse)
the game is weird too, it goes from semi hard to ridiculously easy for some reason.

I might have to replay Gurumin. I don't remember the recycling or difficulty at all, haha. It was the absolutely perfect length though. Just before I got sick of it, thus making it nearly perfect. I did notice it leveling out at some point, as far as enemies vs. character growth.
