@pandaguy...there's a separate thread regarding the Elf poem, you may want to look at it. Several "solutions" are offered which may or may not work for you. And I agree with you, I've played some really "grindey" type games in the past, but this is getting to the point where it's ridiculous. Especially with all the "bugs" that are in the game to begin with.
@jviper360, nope, you can't reset your skill points. This should be corrected in an update, you should be able to reset them. One other thing I'd love to see corrected is the ridiculously long time that "bladestorm" takes to re-energize. In the later dungeon levels, it's almost certain death to go in without bladestorm..once used, before you go in the next room, you stand there waiting for it to re-energize. I'd like to see an "active" skill which shortens the recharge time.
Just a question to those who have completed the game in "normal" mode (no cheats, lol). I'm almost at lvl 57, dungeon 40 is still a real challenge. Where did you put most of your skill points? Did you use 2 weps or a single wep and shield? What level were you when you beat it? Is the ending decent, or nothing special? This is a really nice "Zelda" type game, but I doubt I'll play it a 2nd time, takes WAY too long to get to the end, plus there are glitches in it that need to be corrected.
