Hehe, this really is the hardcorest RPG I've ever played. It took just three more hours to get all my party members upped to the 2nd level. Not that it has gotten any easier after that...

Made it to level three tonight! Yay, now my adventurers can move around a few squares without dying!

 

Ok, ok, all kidding aside, I'm done now exploring a town called "Sorpigal" and the cave underneath it. I also got hired for my first quest now: A wizard asked me to deliver a scroll to his friend living in a town called Erliquin.

 

Well, right now I'm clueless as to where this town is located, so I decided to investigate another nearby cave first.

Silly me... I remembered a paragraph from the manual saying that one can only have one quest at a time until it's done. So I changed my mind and delivered the scroll first. The recipient in Erliquin just sent me further into another town called Dusk though, which I'm exploring right now.

 

Damn hard there once again...

So I spent this fifth and final night exporing the giant map a bit, (of course dying another 20 times as well )

 

This game is incredibly huge. I'd be surprised if I scratched more than 5% of it in these ~15 hours I was playing it. To fully explore all maps and fulfill all quests you're busy at least half a year I assume.

 

The difficulty is unbelievable for a RPG. It really requires a very high frustration tolerance

 

Some future day the "Playing..." series may see it's sequel "Might & Magic 2", but first it'll continue with something else.
