Nice graphics, nice setting, easy combat, lots of farmer accents.

So far I like, it all feels very Terry Pratchet/Harry potter. Mainly because of the accents, still cool game so far.

I got my guy an oriental moustache and everyone keeps calling him ugly. I swear the next person to laugh at him is gonna get my katana sword up their jacksey. Everyone keeps calling me Chicken Chaser for some reason, probably because I keep punting them around everywhere.

I've tried to hold back on killing people for no real reason so far, god knows I came close to killing one guy though as he just wouldn't shut up about fishing. Instead I farted at him and stole his bed for the night, tried flirting with him also but he just laughed at me.

The world's a lot bigger than I expected, haven't actually come across any villages yet as I've been mainly kicking bandits asses in the woods.

Still, I like so far.

Bah, haven't found any Legendary Weapons yet. To be fair, most of the demon doors I've got into are fairly simple.

Doesn't really matter, it's fun enough just getting into them really.

Some are crap, but most of them contain Legendary Weapons or Full Suits (Bright/Dark Will User's)

I now have butterflies hovering aroudn me and a halo above my head. :-)

Been doing a lot of trading recently between shops, gaining money to increase ever-growing monopoly around Albion. Okay, 3 houses, but shush.

Oh, is it just me, or are all the demon doors crap, in tersm of what you get from them?

Thats the best way to cover up those agely wringles: "Forget anti-ageing cream, try a helmet"

Haven't got my hero drunk, but he's ageing rather rapidly. I gave a few beers to Lady Grey, she still needs to loosen up.

Just visited the Grey House and dicovered Lady Grey's secret. Also got attacked by some undead.

My hero has a few scars on his face, as well as grey hair, so I put on helmet on him to cover it up.

Well the Bum vs Bandit match is over. After downing 20 pints at the start, my homeless wonder managed to beat Twinblade like a dog with his almighty stick and even found time to puke around 6 times.

Funny thing was, I threw up over Twinblades boots a few times and he belted me one right round the skull when I was in the middle of doing it - so it looked like I was spraying some into the air as I got smashed. ;-))

Excellent fight. Legendary stuff. After being told I smell of wee by the kids and making a few people chuck up as I passed, my Bum has made his way to Knothole Glade where he will now deal with the Balverine problem so he can get inside and get drunk. Excellent, another tavern to stock up my beer total. Drunk over 600 pints and thrown up around 45 times. Magical.

My bum has his original scruffy hair, a tramp beard and only wears bandit trousers. Oh and not forgetting his bum stick.
Smelly b*****d, gotta love him.

11 hours and still loving it. Haven't actually done much, but if it's as short as people say I'm probably further through the game than I think.

Already planning out what I want to do once I've completed it. I can see myself returning to this long after Metroid Prime 2, Halo 2 and all the rest of them have passed.

Lovely.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
