Be thrilled!

Entering the werewolf lair didn't turn out so well for me. My party tended to get raped repeated by about the first encounter with werewolves... especially during that inevitable moment when one would knock my character down, jump on him and repeatedly drill him into death. So, like any hero, I caved and decided to save this place for later.

So I went to the Circle Tower. The Tower itself was pretty easy. The only fight I had to reload a significant number of times was right before you meet the Sloth Demon where you can fight a handful of Templars with a Blood Mage behind them. That took a while. Probably because I was too stupid to think about setting Alistair's tactics to where he uses Templar powers on stuff that uses magic. And because there's a trap right inside the door, so I find myself having to waste a few seconds having my character disarm it, which makes it a bit tougher to get around the templars to get to the mage before he gets too frisky with his spells.

Another tricky fight was the one with two waves of undead with an Arcane Horror trailing behind. But I got that on my third try. Nothing else really bothered me. Might have reloaded once with a Desire Demon/Templar fight and that might have induced me to just let another Desire Demon keep the Templar she'd seduced later on in the place, but my character's a bit of a bastard from time to time anyway.

The Fade's a cool place. It's almost like a game within a game with you going from one dungeon to the next to get powers that allow you to access places you couldn't get to before. Regularly receiving stat bonuses is pretty cool, as well. It started off easy, but now that I'm in Mages Asunder, enemies are making me cry. Before going to bed, this cluster of three mages inside a room you need Burning Man form to enter killed me about 1,845,384 times in a row. Maybe more. It felt like it. Looks like this is a point where I'm going to actually have to think to find an intelligent way to overcome an obstacle, as opposed to simply charging the opposition.
