We head off to raid Darkshire, along the way we find some abomination trundling along the path killing everything in sight, the two of us take him on and almost kill him, but Alliance shows up and we hide. We decide to follow Stiches and attack Darkshire when he does. Here he is beating up a few puny Alliance who couldn't take him down.

During the raid we killed a lv.37 Paladin called Felicity about 7 times. A few hours later I step off the boat at Booty Bay, a neutral city in a contested area, and who do I run straight into? It's pretty tense as I have the feeling revenge is in order. This happens instead

Human Warrior.
Wielding two-handed swords, axes, maces, swords & guns.
Fisherman, blacksmith, miner, chef.
Started playing at 5pm, had to stop just now to go to sleep. I am determined this game will not suddenly find me at midnight thinking "Gotta get up in 3hrs but just have to finish this quest"
***edit***
And how the hell are you finding the weight/type of fish?
I only ever get "Mud Eater" etc, not real fish names and it never gives me the weight etc.
Are you photoshopping/editing in a sad attempt to out-geek each other?

They're 'special' fish, that will have the weight in the item name and allow you to equip them in your off hand.
There's probably about 1/100 chance of catching one.

This game sounds immense.
How do battles work? Is it like that KOTOR where you just click on people and wait for the battle to end?
Hmmm. Hopefully it's a little more intricate than that.
As long as it isn't wildly swinging a sword with the mouse, played games like that and they're awful beyond belief. Perhaps with a controller plugged in instead of a mouse...

Click on people, click a spell or attack button to hit them with, win.

I found the battles a bit crap to be honest.
I only had a sword mind you.

I hate turn based battles in RPG type games. Hate them.
But this is probably the best one I've come across. It's quite fast paced instead of you take your turn, wait, I'll take mine, wait. Get a few different techniques and things and it gets better.
Still I'd love to have total control of my character and just be able to beat them up like in a beat-em-up but thats not how this goes. It's all tactics and all that.
