  • From my quick search and bad memory, it can be played solo, but it looks like combat requires a group to enable all the feats and abilities. Doesn’t look like they’re implementing a solo build that can do it without some serious grind. But I’m sure someone will game out a solution.

    I will probably still take it for a quick spin if the reviews are good, but as an old dude who can’t dedicate time to MMOs to be good at them, I’d just rather all games be made to suit my particular tastes. /s


  • It’s been a long while since I read it, but each book got a little bit more pretentious with the author shoe horning his own world view into the readers face. That was annoying, but even more so because I recall disagreeing with his view quite a bit.

    Also, each book was essentially the same plot. Universe works to keep the two protagonists apart, a bunch of fucked up shit happens, and at the end of the books they’re back together having learned nothing.

    But the real issue I had with the later works was the very real Mary Sue of the two protagonists. Those characters just could do everything. It got boring and stale after a couple books of it.

    I still hold Sword of Truth to be a good book by itself. And I do recall liking the next two books at least. But as a whole, I do not think it’s good storytelling.
