The forgery thing may be one of the best innovations. I got a ring as part of a story quest that makes casting much, much faster but you are supposed to turn it in. However, you can make a forgery and keep the original and you get credit for the quest. Best of both worlds.

I rented it.

I literally beat it in 3 hours.

I just checked.. I've logged over 90s hours so far with this game.

It's been a while since I've found a game like that.

And yeah, it's news to me as well.

I like they built in a duplication system to appease that segment that tries to break a game to exploit it. They even planned for people to exploit the system by loading other characters up. Items will still trade, but some really high level items (or frequent trades) can sometimes come across as rocks.

The forgery only works on non-magic stuff so it's not a biggie. Like you can forge that Book of Salomet but the forgery cannot be used for the spell. Same with the ring I have. Forgeries don't have the magical property so you can't make multiples and become overpowered.

Also there's supposedly a level system with equipment. So a high level piece of equipment used by a low level character won't be effective. No idea if that's true though as I've never needed to test it.

Really love ranged though. Nothing like taking aim and taking out a cyclops' eye or taking out the snake or goat on a chimera before it can even come close to you. Nevermind taking out Hobgoblins with a single head shot.

I'm three levels into assassin and I'll probably ditch it. I thought it would take all the cooler dagger moves from Strider and add to it, but so far it just feels like a poor man's Strider with some night time perks. Magic Archer looks really cool from the videos I've seen, but I'll miss flipping around.

Yeah it's just not as fun. It gets some neat dagger moves later, like Spider Bite, but I'm just not enjoying it. Gonna max it out and get a few levels with it (it's got great strength bonuses kn level up) and then ditch it.

Assassins worth it for the invisibility and one hit kills. Also the double jump.

Even more so if you like to solo.

I thought about magic archer and knight but I keep hearing mixed opinions on what everyone likes.

MA is supposedly too easy and highlighting enemies in the dark kind of defeats the purpose of hidden enemies.

I wish the pawns could become MA/MK.

Ok, I know no one is talking about Fallout New Vegas--but I had to let someone know that I finally escaped the Sierra Madre. Thank fucking god. I was ready to give it up and just move on to another game.
