You can equip 5000 shields at once. It'll slow you down, but its probably worth it. Just "r"emove them from your backpack and you'll have them in your hand, and thus equipped.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

heavy things+good aim=gibs abound.

every so often you hear about some sicko stashing his kills in a coffin and chucking it at foes, or going bta on elves with a stone slab.  Even hear stories of willies and toungues being used as demented ninja stars...

Throw stuff. I prefer bolts myself, but there are more amusing types to choose from, such as small insects or the severed entrails of whoever you murdered last.

Don't screw with cave-dwelling targets until you know you can kill them.

If you're using a sword, hitting zombies with your shield is a much faster way to collapse them in my experience. If you're using a hammer or mace, avoiding bronze colossi might be a good idea, and don't go after them regardless of weapon type until you've got steel or better. I spent ages having my attacks with an iron sword deflect off one of those things. The only reason I won was because I had a dragon chasing me and the fire hit the colossus enough to melt it.

Also, if you kill a vampire of the same species, drinking its blood would probably be a good idea unless you have motor nerve damage, in which case you should let a were-something bite you. Then become a necromancer. Zombies are cheaper and more abundant than regular people, plus you can go into a tomb and have a chat with a mummy without it trying to maim you.

Then, when you are allocating points, put as many stat points as you can into STRENGTH, TOUGHNESS, and DEXTERITY

Modding has taught me that speed is probably the single most important factor in whether a creature wins a fight. A near-invincible creature the size of the moon won't stand a chance against a creature the size of a human with an iron sword that happens to be 100 times faster than it.

*Cough cough* God of War in a nutshell *cough cough*

Anyway, just be a Demigod and pour all your points into Strength, Dexterity and Endurance. (Strength helps you crush things, Dexterity to dodge, and Endurance to help with the pain if you get hit, even though if you black out, you're screwed.)

Agility helps most of any, so put points into that. That's what I was trying to say.

Yup. I remember people thinking it was useless and dumping the stat down, only to spout confusion when their adventurer passed out from a stubbed toe :P

Yeah, endurance effects tiredness, I.E, how long you can fight without being over-exerted.

i think the most important attributes are agility, kinestic and spatial sence, once started a dwarven outsider with superior agility, high spatial and kinestic sence and high strength and had 1800 starting speed, which is pretty damn fast

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
