Long time player of Spiderweb software here.
That's it. I'm out. I'm so disgusted/frustrated, I have no desire to finish this. I've beaten Avernum 1-6, most Bioware games, and this is the first spiderweb game that's done me in.
I play most of the game on normal and enjoyed it. Now at Redbeard, I've tried 10 times, dropping the game to the easiest level, and... it' freakin' impossible.
I can't keep him below 3-4 souljars, and it's really not fun dropping his hitpoints 10pts per strike with my team of 5 level 30 players.
Thanks, but no thanks. You win, Jeff! You've defeated me!
I'm out. I don't have a problem dropping the difficulty, but as a veteran of these games, 10 x at the easiest level tells me somethings wrong with game design here.
