- I've finally gotten past Bane and his right hand man and am now in the maze.
- I couldn't get past the three battles in anything but Novice Level.
- What's worse, the maze is even HARDER. Did anyone out there A) finish
- the game, and B) finish it at Veterans Level? I become very bitter when
- I find games developed that cannot be beat. I have found that I really
- didn't like POD because it was mostly Hack-N-Slash (Typical *POOR*
- AD&D), towards the end there was only one path to follow (the choices
- that you were given still led to the exact same thing, once again
- Typical *POOR* AD&D), and the hack-n-slash became impossible to
- beat at the end at the normal level(Blue Bane's Minions do double your
- damage back at you, so with their hit points I tended to die before
- killing many of them and most of my guys have near 160-200 hit points,
- not to mention the dozens of EOBs). All in all I found it like playing
- AD&D run by a terrible and sadistic DM. I don't mind Hack-N-Slash but
- it needs to be balanced with real puzzles and *REAL* player's choices.
- When will they learn???
