Level 32 right now, only one Talisman to go to collect all 8. I'll take on the Red Dragon tomorrow at some point when people are actually on, as it seems not very busy this time of night. :p

I'm the Elf. You get the Talismens by clearing out the B path of each area. A couple you can actually screw up though if you don't kill them in time.
Elf can be tricky to use, but god can she bring the hurt.
Tried fighting the red dragon with a bunch of cpu characters helping - waste of time unless they're over level 35 as they tend to not know wtf is going on.
Playing with PUGs is almost as bad.
Hard mode is where the game actually starts. The dwarf is awesome - throwing dudes is sweet. May play a second character as your armory is for all of your characters. That means any gear you can bear to not sell that multiple classes can use, you should keep for future playthroughs with those classes.
Okay, what the hell is a PUG?
This is the first non dog related thing I found. Pugs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't think that is right. :p
In the context of multiplayer gaming, a "PUG" is a "Pick-Up Group" which just means random people who all say "hey, anyone else want to play this zone/level/content/etc?" and they get together and play.
This is as opposed to groups of people who actually know each other and/or regularly play together, like a clan, guild, or group of friends.
What he said.
PUGs tend to just rush through without letting you search rooms for cascades of treasure, or go to any 'secret' areas, or just plain mess stuff up by staying on one side of the screen, pulling your character.
Just got to inferno mode. The best way to grind is to keep playing random dungeons in quick succession because your score and treasure payout just keeps snowballing. The camp cooking scene mini game is so awesome but so simple heh.
The quests have become clever since many of them are solo-only in order to get the highly sought after skill point increases.. More important than gaining levels is using the skills to make your dude more versatile or dangerous.
The rune spelling part is becoming more and more etched into my memory, though some of the rarer ones still elude me. It's rough when you only see one symbol on the wall and have to cycle through your memory for which two symbols are missing, or if you just didn't see a second one somehow.
The Rune Spells are the only thing about the game I don't really enjoy. I don't really care to memorize trout like that, but that
s a rather minor complaint. :p
Going to clear out the last 5 quests from the normal difficulty before trying for the rest of the talismens for the second antient Dragon.
Currently I'm really digging the Elfs Rune magic, as well as Rapid Shot. Those are pretty much my main focus as far as skill pints go, that and Arrow Capacity.
