got softlocked at the last 5 mins of the game.
I almost love this game, but it dips in quality so hard so fast. Arx Fatalis has 10/10 art, level, and sound design (please use eax audio holy fuck its so good). i also really liked the kingsfield-esc combat, granted i ended up not really using the magic system as much as i would of hoped. theres more than a few moments of the game too where you just cant use magic which is super lame. My biggest issues with this game are MY FUCKING GOD the padding design and enemy wise as well as the overly cryptic shitty puzzles and quest logs. i got stuck and had to refer to guides more than not while playing, i even somehow ended up sequence breaking some of the final cutscenes with Alia so fuck me i guess, no pay off for all the side quests i did for the better ending. i finally just gave up after i got to the final boss and realized i in fact forgot/lost one of the meteorite rocks. i remember not knowing if theyd be useful so i might of thrown it out somewhere along the way and there is NO WAY IN HELL im backtracking the entire games map to find one item to get the final cutscene.
also idk who the fuck designed the final temple or the stats and hitboxes of the Yilsids and lich, but have they ever played a game before let alone had fun? because its just bluntly not good or remotely fair. all i read online was "spam fireball" doesnt that sound fun!!!
