I'm starting to lose more and more respect for this game every time I reload after getting killed by that $%*&@ Hellhound, which is about a dozen times now.
Absolute piss poor game design by the devs on that particular battle.
*Edit* I guess I just needed to vent.
I finally whacked that bastard on the first try after posting that. Still, that was one of the most frustrating fights I've ever experienced in an crpg.
