I've played through OotG twice and had the same party of characters both times. Who are you using?
I'm using a fighter (Keir), Dwarf (Tor), Cleric (Kerwin), and Elf (Larissa). I think in the past I didn't properly appreciate the magic side of this game. The Sleep spell is
essential early on. And once your Cleric learns Cure Light Wounds, life is good. Still, I've made more trips back to the temple to ressurect someone than I'd like to admit... :oops:
I started watching this "Let's Play" series on Youtube a few days ago and his party is comprised of all magic users (an Elf, 2 Mages, and a Cleric) using a bug that allows the Mages to wear Chainmail.
If I had enough save space to keep 2 OotG save files, I'd give that a shot.
I think I've made it pretty far into the Wolves Den so far; I'm exploring an underground city right now. This game is too much fun.
