  • I have both Epic and GOG copies from two different free offers and played it a bunch, but could never finish it. I enjoy the atmosphere and the story, but the fights got repetitive and difficult (not in a good way). I stopped at some boss fight, then later decided to pick it up again and eventually stopped at another artificial roadblock.








  • Speaking as someone whose native language uses phonetic writing, it simply makes sense. You just write what you say. Yes, some people talk differently, and because the writing is phonetic you can easily capture that in writing and you have multiple spellings for the same word in the dictionary (some marked as regionalisms). And as pronunciation of certain words shifts in time, so does the spelling. When more and more people start writing the word as it sounds, instead of the “correct” spelling, the new version gets added to the dictionary.
