Ohh! Nice armour!
My favourite armour is Hauberk, but I don't think it offers enough protection later in the game, so I switch to Plate or Full Plate eventually.
Currently, my char has just entered the Maw of the Assassin. Sweet-talked past the mythical beast.
This time I killed the Desert Spirits, because you get no XP for just giving 'em the gold they demand. I didn't expect them to be so tough.
As a result, I now have no healing potions, and I have no mind to go buy some from the vendor in the first desert area. We'll see how we get on.
I have sold all Ranged weapons, arrows and bolts, only retaining the everlasting ones. I intend to reach the end of the game with Unarmed only. Her Sneak skill is 94 now, so with Stealth potions it should work ok. I hope. If not, I have a couple of Ranged spells: Ice Javelin and Celestial Smite. You MUST be able to complete without Ranged. Otherwise, why bother with the other weapons skills?
Yes, I agree your level counts to some extent when it comes to what shows up to fight. But not always. I have been pretty low-level in the Sewers Crypt and have had lots of Greater Skeletons - but other times hardly any with higher level. I think some other factor applies as well. Possibly Strength or Luck.
I shoulda figured you were doing Computing at Uni!
I'm glad you are enjoying it.
As part of my English (Language) course (I was a mature student, graduated at age 60) we did some computer language. Complicated. I only got a pass with that one!
What I WOULD like to learn is how to take a computer to bits and build it up again, and how to upgrade it myself. Practical stuff, you know? It costs to get other people to do it for you.
