What is even the point of the cooking minigame? I think I missed that. As far as I understood it: You go into the labyrinth, and collect materials there. You go and cook stuff from these materials You sell that stuff to the local townsfolks You use the local townfolk's money to improve the town to ...

characterbuilding = getting a look at the NPCs personality and stuff. I found great chunks of these things missing in direct comparison. Similar, yes, Untold 'added' stuff to NPCs like Kupala, but it would have been better if that stuff would have made sense. In the games before U, stuff the NPCs di...

alternatively: the hero's class has skills that benefit greatly from the survilalist's passive skills, like 1st turn and similar.

It got kinda of ridiculous when U told me 'there's a monster that pushed through a wall/thicket'
Why yes, game, give me such an information and OF COURSE i will be looking for newly unlocked passages. If you don't want me to, don't tell me to do so.

well, then explain to me why instead of the intro prophecy we have a video that, instead of being the animated intro prophecy, is a video that is either spoilers or 'the highlander being awesome' (not). Explain to me, where all the world- and characterbuilding went. It's not there in the classic mod...

Seriously, it's to the point at which the inner monologue is this:
Me: I haven't walk down that corridor yet.
My brain: It's a dead end. you can see it from here. There's no passages or anything, it's a dead end.
Me: I HAVEN'T WALK DOWN THAT CORRIDOR YET!

I'm one of the people who almost obsessively maps the stuff. hell, I'll often even walk extra rounds to have all of the floor walked on.

EOU removed close to all of the world- and characterbuilding from the game and replaced it with scenes to force the Highlander's 'awesomeness' onto the player, and furthermore changed the general but nifty RPG-story-hook of 'random group goes on an adventure' to 'superspecialawesome group of choosen...

I think the Yggdrasil Project in 4 isn't the same as in 1. Seems to be more something to make the player go 'dear god, not again. will they never learn' There's too much, IMHO, in four that doesn't seem like the project there is from 'our' time, but probably several centuries AFTER t...

dangerus, just attack it from behind via the back entrance.

well, what bugs me more is: Were there already 7 trees in the original? there just being 1 tree from the project gives it a much bigger sense of urgency and actually is a good bit of story for Visil. It strikes me that in U the other 6 were just put in rather to provide tragic backstory for simon an...

Just a short question: Does it anywhere in the original say anything about 7 trees? The only time the number 7 comes up in context with Yggdrasil is in the 5th stratum in one of the letters, and IIRC, that particular bit was revealed to talk about council members or something in U's story mode. Is t...

If you want to put it on your shelf:

Unfortunately the ingame compendium and Codex are a little lacklustre. While you do get crucial facts about the monster, like their weaknesses or Healthpoints, information on the skills aren't available. This might come in a future game, but with the current design it isn't needed as such, as the on...
