Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (PS3)

“I just got myself over the 49.0% line last night before passing out. Secret to more mapping: spring to replace the unique mount, and alternate between breakneck sprints and, when you get down to...”

“The map in this game is truly massive. Even on horseback it's taking me a long time to uncover it. I'm up to 43.1% I'm in the Orc regions and sure enough the mages there can root you, so I was...”

“Got the Extremely Diligent (40% side quests) and Tomb Raider (read 100 tombstones) Trophies. Still working on exploring 50% of the map.”

“After several levels with a favorite pair of weapons, my Dryad's blowgun is now not powerful enough to make a difference and its replacement, a bow, is just not as good as a blowgun. Some enemies...”

“I got the Slaughterer trophy for slaying 10,000 creatures. I've been working on side quests and mapping more of Ancaria for the past few play sessions, so this one was just gravy.”

“I got the Bookworm trophy, but it didn't show up on Facebook when I sync'd. Grr!”

“I finished the light campaign in Sacred 2. My level 41 Dryad is barely able to scratch several kinds of enemies, and this leads me to think I've kitted her out wrong, in terms of skills and so on. ...”

“Wow my brother's right. The swamp is just packed to the gills with monsters. Makes travel a lot slower, and it's easy to get swarms of them all over you. Those poisonous rats are just killer for...”

“The boss monsters are truly fearsome in this game. I had a dragon sic me on a demonic enemy he was afraid would one day be stronger than him. I could never have fought this thing alone. Co-op is...”

“My brother always cautions me to stick with the main quest. "You'll be a grandfather before you finish all the side quests in this game!" There are zillions of them.”

“I find my character able to ping 70-100 damage off enemies with arrows, but 300 damage off them with her sword at times. I need a better bow, bigtime!”

“Marathon questing session tonight. Got up to the water monster. Will probably recruit my brother to help me fight him online.”

“Put in a lot of time on Sacred 2 tonight with my brother online. He helped me get my unique mount and taught me more about various bits of the game while we did a few quests and slaughtered many...”

“Got my Inquisitor to level 15. Teamed up with another Inquisitor along the way who was rather good at killing enemies even though he was a lower level than me.”
