Alright... I'm just completely... stumped. In level 2... with a key... and I don't know where to use it, because I can't find it. Suppose I'll just take a break right now afore I await an answer.
Just my personal preference, but I'm not fond of the music. I know it's supposed to be dark and all which fits the quest quite well but... ... it's not something I can listen to while playing for a few hours. Level 2 music is fine, though I still prefer my MP3s played in the background. Speaking of music (offtopic), need to get back to playing my clarinet, heheh...
I honestly think some of the places in Isle of the Winds looked better than the majority of the areas on LI's overworld. However, I did catch one shot of the castle up in the north above Tahoe Woods... and it looks like it'll be my favourite of the overworld areas graphically.
I don't mind it when I see packing of small trees just to cover borderings and then mix it up appropriately to the mood and feel of the area, but when it's in the masses... ... then it just gets outright repetitive and dull. Most particularly I'm referring to the lava area in the bottom right corner area...
One thing that's really helping me find my way on the overworld - the map (spacebar). ^_^ Now I just need to start finding bomb upgrades... well, after I get through level 2 somehow.
Overall, quite good and cool so far... still need to get to the rest of the quest though.
Ah! DFW just gave me the answer over chat... ... though if I am somehow still stuck, I'll just edit this.
