Can't wait for those multi-target spells. I'm about halfway through the 2nd island. I've decided to help the rebels. For fun, I went and told the Shaper about it and he proceeded to reduce me to ashes That was fun! I got to kill 3 of his creations before he toasted my 13th level agent. It was fun doing the hit n run tactics but I couldn't take his hits. I might finish this island and try one more time, just for kicks. I haven't made any enhancements at all yet. Are they really beneficial to a spell-slinger? I tested a few of the enchantments but nothing has really grabbed my fancy enough to keep.

For me, Zeviz, I don't want to share the XP with them. An agent needs to level quickly so that we can get our magic skills very powerful. The two NPCs are basically useless without inventories. I could use a couple of mules that just followed behind my character.

I don't use melee or missiles, personally. Just magic. At least so far. I'm not real far in the game yet though. I keep looking for a multi-target spell, but I haven't come across one yet. My only danger is if I get surrounded and can't retreat. I've spent almost all my skill points on magic and miscellaneous. I guess I need to spend the next few levels on strength. I'm using the tunic that raises battle magic +2 because armor weighs too much.

I'm curious as to if anyone else plays as a solo agent. By this, I mean I don't make any creations and I don't have any NPC's in my party. The only reason I would have a creation or npc is if they could carry excess inventory. Backtracking is the only complaint I have about G3. The game seems to be incredibly easy, so far, when played this way. I just finished the 1st island though, so we'll see if it remains this easy. If so, I'll ramp up the difficulty level. My Agent has reached 11th level as she boards the boat heading for the next island (Harmony?). The only thing I didn't complete on the 1st island was the 2nd phase of testing. I couldn't quite defeat the 1st creature that you meet when attempting that test. He kills my little gal in 2 hits
