I actually thought I am the only living Darklands fan .I absolutely agree
with you .Darkland is wonderful game although I am not very far in the game
(I just play for 2 game years and have about 300 fame points)but perhabs
one of you can tell me if I found a bug in V7:I was in Bamberg
and mayor told I should kill a robber knight but when I did and came back
they didn't want to give me money they want to give me a new task!
