Just finished Blackgaurds I must tell you the end was just a snore fest of battles that just never seems to end.
(Rant)
You had to complete a 9 stage arena battle or 3 battles each this is for exp so you can stand a chance at the 13 to come and boss battle.
You don't get enough skill points so you can't really spec into another weapon and sometimes enemies are immune to a damage and well even switching weapons with a low skill points assigned to it makes it feel like a joke doing 1-2 damage.
Also they fking kill the only range hero they give you in the game pretty early on. I have a 2H warrior with maxed out stats to give him damage and still the dwarf with a 1h axe and shield won in the damage numbers( O and he gets his axe on a side quest early on in the game and you keep it till the boss battle). So what is the fking use of using 2H weapons. (/Semi End RANT}
Now I hope to play another game with better rewards and not such fustrating battles.
