I hope I am not alone in the thought taht this is incredibly >stupid.. it's so easy to get lost in the huge dungeons and you can't >even place markers on the map to the best of my knowledge.. The neato automap for dungeons is just that...I get more confused looking at the endless 3D crap than if I just wandered in circles for a few hours... I had a similar problem with the Order of the Dragon. My first game I didn't even notice the guy who looks like a pile of rags in the corner...so I didn't know how to get quests. This game I thought I finished a dungeon but when I returned the rags wouldn't respone to me anymore :( So I guess If you don't complete the quest he won't give you the time of day...got me...Anyway how the hell are you supposed to know if you completed a quest....does a lightbulb flash or thunder clap and a mystical voice say you are saved? I wandered through a seemingly endless dungeon...thought I had gutted it only to find I had to start all over again. Man this is lamerama RPG...totally no fun. Better be one HELL ova Patch man! STrat
