I too like twelvetable\'s idea, very clever.
And phischphood, I know 12 hours seems like a long time, but Satayne and I have 1000\'s of logged hours. 12 hours is nothing to us and seems short now. Not that I\'m belittling your pain at the moment.
Zan also hits the nail on the head - teamwork!
So often we play games on our own, therefore we develop the mentality that we can do it alone. This game is different. It has been specifically designed to prevent the lone wolf mentality. It can be done, I was a loner for my first 100 hours or so. But it is the dev\'s mission in life it seems to force the characters to interact, to roleplay. And if you don\'t, the game is very unforgiving.
I\'m usually playing PS. If you need help, ask me.
