I'm in a sharing mood:

First is my normal handwriting, next to my rushed scribble:


I can do tidier and printier than that, but not usually for long before I forget myself and slip into my normal handwriting.  And the rushed scribble isn't quite a 100% likeness as it wasn't under natural conditions, but close enough.

And this is just some random notes to myself - not rushed, but also not taking any sort of care for others reading it:



I also tried doing some actual proper cursive and it turns out I've forgotten how - I kept tripping over myself and screwing up words completely whenever I got to a letter I don't naturally 'join up'. 

Wow, what I'm hearing here about time off in America is making me actually feel pretty good about my crappy job.  I get a total of 37 days of paid leave per year (of which 29 I can choose), plus I'm on flexi-time so in theory I can work late a few days and build up to a day off from that.  I gather people with kids can also take something like 4 weeks of unpaid "parental leave" on top of that if they need to.

The first Dungeon Siege was great, I spent a lot of time in multiplayer with randoms on that one.  My only real complaint about it was the terriblye balance across the spells, too many that just weren't worth even considering with a handful that outshone the rest by a huge margin.

I found the sequel fairly disappointing by comparison (and really didn't like the demo I played of the third one).

Thanks, I moreso was thinking "could" than "should"

I should maybe mention, there's one or two things where "could" isn't the case and you will have to come back later before you can complete them.

Third, a certain NPC that sells items that boost your stats and skills refreshes their inventory each time you level up.

Apparently the refreshing has been taken away with one of the recent patches

-The seller of secrets now only has 1 ability book and 1 stat book instead of regenerating those

I tried making tablet. I think I did it wrong, it was INCREDIBLY sweet.

That sounds like you did it right to me.

It is!

I barely used potions on my playthrough (completed it today, yay), I didn't like how short their durations were.

For the that area I mostly used haste spells to counter the slow effect and the Geomancer shield spell (Earth Shield? I forget the name) for the hefty poison resist and bonus hitpoint pool.  They're short durations too (everything is ), but I felt they gave more bang for my action point bucks. 

Also might be worth returning at a later level depending when you're tackling it - I first encountered that area around level 11 (I thought the mines were in there) and trying to fight through it at that level was a major slog.


Which one's Rapture?  Is that the ranger charm spell? If so, sure, I've had it work.  You'll want to either have very high dex or debuff the target's willpower for anything close to consistent success with it though.
