Funny, I just fought my first griffin last night. Was way more fun than it was in the demo, probably because it wasn't dark and I knew what the hell was going on this time. Also, because my daggers set things on fire. Considering how many times I've run up and down the road to Gran Soren without seeing anything more dangerous than oxen and the occasional goblin, I nearly shat myself when that griffin landed on top of me out of fucking nowhere. I also worked up the nerve to take down a drake, although it took me TWO in-game days to do it! Not sure what I did wrong or if it's supposed to take that long, but finally bringing it down was seriously satisfying after he kept talking shit and turning my pawns against me. And my pants got dragonforged in the process, yeaaaah! |
All I can say is, if you haven't started to do so already, start doing the missions given to you buy the guy in front of the castle and then the guy that gives you your assignments from the Duke. Almost every single one of those is so epic and unique that the quests I've been doing up to that point (escort this guy, retrieve this item, kill this creature) seems like they are from two different games! They start off with one objective and then morph into something else.
