Yeah, after all this time, I’m still running around in Myrtana. Specifically, I’m still in Geldern. I’m now slowly running through the quests for it, and seeing as I already have completed Geldern the first time around on the other character, I kinda knew where to go to do what.
Actually, the funniest part of this game is here in Geldern as well. Well, funniest so far anyway. The old alchemist, Renwick, is a hoot! It’s almost as funny as the various scenes in Neverwinter Nights 2 even! The devs should have spent more time making these funny moments and dialogues!
In any case, my character has finally reached level 41. Now he’s exactly the same level as my other character. The thing I noticed is that, in game time, this is only his 22nd day. On the first character, he only reached level 41 after 35 days in-game! So yeah, going through the game a 2nd time around really does speed it up!
I also think I might have found a money-making exploit. If this were an MMORPG, it’d probably be banned immediately.
Just go up to the orc guards standing outside the doorways to the city, and draw your weapon. Stand in front of him and he’ll tell you to put it away or he’ll come and beat you up. Let him go into this mode, then TURN AND RUN! Go to a secluded area and knock him out. Take his stuff. Once he wakes up, he’ll walk back to his post, and magically a new weapon will appear.
Repeat this a few times and you can easily make 3,000 to 5,000 gold in the space of a few mins, because he will ALWAYS spawn a new weapon, and you can knock him out and take his weapon. Collect a few of these and go sell ’em to any merchant. If you are brave, or crazy enough, go punch a few orcs around the city. Run out of the city when they all start chasing you, and slowly beat them all up and grab their stuff.
Remember! Do NOT kill them! Just knock them out. It won’t affect your reputation in the city nor will the orcs go KOS on you.
