Psychological tests often come in many forms, this is no different. Consider this the "essay" portion of the test.

#1. Excluding legendary and extraordinary items, what ONE piece of equipment can you NOT live without and why.

#2. Your favorite moment in the game is..... What and why?

#3. Who is your favorite NPC in the game and why?

#4. What do you most look forward to in ANY future update? (This can be specific or general, broad or precise.... It's really your ball on this question.)

Lastly

#5. Your favorite map tile is..... Where and why?

Part 3 of this will return to multiple choice questions... When I have enough of them to constitute a valid test.

1#. The DotSP. Because crits are great!
2#. The rotworms, because it changes the gameplay and makes for a refreshing experience.
3#. No one in particular. I like the thieves guild as a group, but if I had to pick just one, make it the homeless in front of the Fallhaven tavern... For now!
4#. Getting it out! I guess it's a feeling shared by the whole dev team.
5#. The place where you meet Ulirfendor... For now!

#1
Bonemealpotions...because they heal me if necessary so I literally can't live without them.

#2
Getting rid if the Kazual Rottworms cause that really annoyed me in my first playthrough.

#3
The witch near Remgard. Story and quests behind were awesome and reminded me of the witch hunts.

#4
New quests that keep the already great story telling and hopefully more events that Show me consequences of my decissions.

#5
Cave of the Alacephs and the cave below. Great design and felt like entering hell.

Here's my own answers:

#1 Bread. Dirt cheap and heals for 10 health. If Regular Health Potions weren't free from Shadow Gargoyle Trainers / Masters... bread would show up as my most used item. Really, it's a life saver!

#2 My 47th, 48th, 49th and 200th time going up Blackwater Mountain! No, seriously, Defeating the Plaguestrider Master. In real life I love spiders. In Andors Trail, I HATE THEM!!! Being able to take this annoying bad boy out was so satifying.

#3 I've always felt a bit of sorrow for Keneg in BlackWater. Don't know what her addiction is... but I would really love to help her out.

#4 Nor City. I really want to find out what that place is all about.

#5 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Lost Mine section with mazareth beasts. SO much EXP and $$$$ in such a small little area. The drops here are phenomenal and the experience is pretty decent. I go there often when I want to level up.... or buy more bread. :D

Are we going to receive a free psychoanalysis after completing part 3 :-)?

Unsure, but I have been wondering that myself.... seeing as I started this.

Actually, I answered #5 incorrectly ON MY OWN QUIZ.

What's your favorite GAME TILE and why?

And instead I talked about my favorite grinding area.... for no apparent reason.

If I had to pick a favorite tile.... it's along the walk from Vilegard to Loneford. The road is pretty boring and generic until you hit ONE TILE that makes you stop and say: WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!!!!!

Green, green, green, green, green, green... HOT PINK?

That tile.... cracks me up every time I see it. And the first time I saw it.... Total annihilation. I knew I had to get there and find out what THAT was all about. Took a while to find it, but yeah, that was fun. And a great teaser tile.

I will try to whip up part three this weekend if I have the time.

1. Mead. Every time I rank I drink a bottle to celebrate, especially during later levels.*

2. Killing the Graveyard King. I got such SWEET satisfaction, he was the last monster on the map that I hadn't killed, so, yea.*

3. I'm going to say the abandoned guard west of Guynmart Castle after you complete the Roses quest. He is probably the NPC character who has gotten most of my sympathy.*

4. Nearly anything really.*

5. In the shortcut to Lodar's Hideaway. The tile where there is a sheer precipice. *


*suject to change

#1. Ring of the Protector. It helps balance AC and BC, early on and provides a bit of AD.


#2. I would have choose Green Maze. It is one of the areas you can spend a while just exploring plus the enemies there are enjoyable to face.

#3. Kayla, she makes my favourite armour (well, clothes) of the game.

#4. Well... i am fairly content with what ever they put into the game... even the tedius quests.

#5. i have a few. (which are all with a convienient bed where monsters spawn in the same tile. it helps when grinding to progress.)

1. Marrowtaint! Come on no explanation is needed.
2. ?
3. Lodar. A talented and solitary creature. Got to respect that.
4. The implementation and introduction of Nor City. Nyktos has been planning this for years and he's very creative person with a lot of gaming experience. I have high expectations for him and the city.
5. The underground fire area under charwood

#1. necklace of undead. with low attack cost and low DR, it makes me go berserk against multiple monsters.

#2. killing graveyard king. it was unexpectedly easy. just spent some bonemal potions.

#3. the trader that chosen the wrong path to go remgard.

#4. new opportunities to get oegyth crystals.

#5. that new bed on road to blackwater mountains. even though i don't need it with my current level.
