All of my problems are just that... my problem. It's just my first playthrough and yet I expect everything to go my way and yet I fail at practically every boast. I had a 9itc# of a time trying to sneak into Twinblade's camp (probably because of daylight) despite my maxed guile. The run button is shared with the flourish so whenever enemies are present, I have to remember to use Y or Assassin Rush to get out of dodge. I wish there had been some kind of invisibility magic. In fact, I don't remember if they even provided that in 2.
I hate fighting trolls because there's no way to dodge their attacks without magic. Demon Doors have far stricter rules with far more vague clues as to how to get them open. I'm currently trying my hand at a sidequest called Trader Rescue where I boasted I could complete without killing anyone and without using protection or aggression. But then I find out that the traders are too stupid to follow you out of the camp if you just try to talk them into following and then run like hell. Internet guides claim that it's possible and that bandits will target you because they saw you first, but then you turn to run and the traders don't move and get themselves killed. I wish there had been magic to put the enemy to sleep. I don't think that's in the sequel either.

Anyway, yeah, still pointless.
