You usually have to have the Steam client launched in order to play your games (that's their personnal DRM). Oh, and for people wondering why spend 20$ in the store or 8$ on Steam, you should read the Steam user agreement. Don't you remember that you only "rent" games from Steam, not acquire them? If you want to "own" your games, buy them from the developers! Quote: 2. LICENSES A. License Terms.

Actually, the annoted maps mention it...

Well, I'm still stuck. In order to get to the Tiny Slith Fort, I can't go west of Fort Draco because of the Barrier. I can't go along the river because of a tree and I can't seem to find a secret passage to go south from the Aranea Cave (or west from the Ruined Town for that matter). I guess I can do without looting this Fort, but I would really like to be as strong as possible before the Dark River... Thanks for your answer! Edit: Guess i'll just have to buy a boat in fact.

Going through A2 for the first time. Is it me or is this game much more difficult than A1? Some of the monsters in the beginner area are really tough, like the demon in the ruins or the gremlins in Verdant Valley or the Strange Cave (and without Unshackle Mind, Confusion is a real pain). Plus, how can you get to the Tiny Slith Fort, south of Arenea Cave? I can't walk along the river, because a tree blocks the way. Final one, how hard is the next part of the game? Is a level 10-12 group enough (because when I fought 8 Mung Rats, I died a lot!). TIA
