you can save her, but she will die anyways

This is tempting my 'don't spend more than $20 on a game' resolution.

You can actually get a fighter to tag allong quite early in the game.

Are we talking about a she or he?!?  I kinda guess I missed someone, but it seem I chose the wrong line when I talked to him the first time. 

Kalam you totally should, paying 20$ to save all the spoiler is totally worth it IMO. 

Also are you the dude that trolled the Steam comment section about the not wanting to spend more than 20$ on an "Indie" game...

Steam cd key on G2A costs less than 20 dollars (remember to use G2A shield):

Serious question, why?

Serious question, why?

G2A is a steam key reseller site. You are buying CD Keys from other people, not the site itself. For 1$ you can get G2A shield which insures the CD key you buy. If it doesn't work, G2A will give you another.

So if you want to risk it in order to save 1$ you may be out all your money if the key ends up being a dud.

Really? 

Dunno, I do abuse the save option... but it's kinda mandatory in that kind of game.

Would probably be an walk in the park if I had a fighter in my party. Stuck with my Rogue and a Wizard. (Wizard is actually the melee block lol)

I know I could try to hire a mercenary but I don't feel like it. 

I actually started over and am doing a lot better! I made a super glass cannon cipher. I was a cipher before too but I was getting wrecked, think I just built him better this time. Thinking about upping it to hard :p

Also I learned a little something about the prologue while starting over that I really liked.

Sorta spoilers, only to the prologue:

You can click the attack button and attack one of the guys in the caravan and it changes your objective from finding the berries to "slaughter the caravan". It was incredibly hard but I managed to do it on easy with a minmaxed fighter and the barbarians never come at all. It was pretty cool.

It seems this game takes into account the path less often taken and has contingencies if you try to fuck up the story.

[Banok]

maybe im lacking the nostalgia value since I didn't play the old crpg's but just seems kind of meh to me.

the art/music is good. the story/setting seems pretty generic. the combat is just auto attacking.

also being told what happens with cutscenes of text is even worse "gameplay" than the in-engine cut scenes people complain about.

[Dach]

Yep it's an old game kinda... Reading is hard 

It's not for everyone I guess.

If you pay 1 dollar over a 20 dollar key it means you expect the chance of not getting a key the first time to be a little more than 1/20.

[Kalam]

I'll probably do this G2A thing. Thanks guys!

And that's not me, Dach. If anything, I'd be much more willing to spend $50 on Hotline: Miami than GTA V.

It is true you probably don't need G2A shield. I have bought a ton of stuff off there and my keys have always worked. I'd still recommend adding it though, on the slim chance your key is bogus you aren't out the 20.

I know it adds up, but I also know I would feel incredibly shitty if I decided not to get G2A shield to save a dollar and my key didn't work. So at the very least its 1$ so that I don't hate myself.

I guess I take this back a bit at least. After finding a rogue build that lets me solo/play with just one other companion on normal the combat system is more enjoyable.
