Hi,
I am playng this game for second time. First time I gave up after I got soul lance. I spent all my potions in crypt and was absolutely unable to fight English. As an alternative I could spend minutes waiting for my mana replenish, but I didn't like such a masochism. so I gave up. It was an year or 2 ago.
Recently I have restarted the game. I created a fire mage - sylvant male: fire magic: 150+, fortitude 150+, domination 150 +. besides I took all fire damage improvments possible. And still game is absolutely not playable. The main reasonsare following:
1. Mana problem. Even in the best case, potion vendor has at most 5-6 spirit elexirs. My char (with mana cappacity 1200) requires at least 6 potions to recharge. Besides, as you reach lvl 20 or above the mana spirits become very rare and they usually add 80-150 (200 at most) mana - which is quite not sufficient. So I am forced to use only the first level fire spell - to save mana. And it is still not sufficient.
2. Magic is useles. For example: in the crypt and nostradamus caves most formidabble foes have too strong fire resistance. for example - my fireball does only 10 point damage out of 55! what a nonsense! And why put experience points in magic development - to hit revenant for 8 points of damage? that is a wasp bite for him. Even 55 points of damage is too little for strong monsters, and in addition they have about 80% fire resistance. damn!
I can not understand, is this a result of disballance in game, or Lionheart is supposed to be played in such a mannes (in masochist manner, IMHO). Do another classes have similar problem?
