Forum:Pre-Final Battle Door of Doom

Sooo, Let me start off by saying how much I have enjoyed this game. Great RPG.

Bit of warning to other players: After defeating the two Wights at the Great Wall, DO NOT ENTER THAT DOOR IN THE BASEMENT. It leads to the Tainted Mountain and apparently triggers the Final Battle. Yea, Would have been awesome if there were any indication that opening that door would auto-cancel EVERY OTHER QUEST in the game, including preventing you from obtaining ANY OTHER QUESTS from NPCs. So yea, simple exploration totally screwed me over, forcing me to miss out on The Duchess in Distress quest and who knows how many other story arcs.

As a completionist, this is a pretty low blow. Yes, the quest prompted me to go seek out the Dragonforged again, but I like to fully explore dungeons before leaving that area and heading off on new quests. There was NO WARNING whatsoever that entering the barred door on the first level, leading down to the basement, would trap me into skipping past the other story missions.

Huge let down. Now I have no way to level up unless its hack-slashing random encounters for hours on end, just to reach a decent level to face the final boss. Seems like a pretty huge oversight in quest design.

Oh well. Just, wanted to give other players a heads-up so they don't miss out on a chunk of the game like I did.

Total bummer.
