- " Plus it has the quickness of a sward, the damage of a mace, and allows

- Okay, okay,... I give up.
- Don't hit me any more.
-
- The Underworld walkthrough (version 1.6) will be changed as follows:
-
- "ORA Unarmed Need LOTS if you prefer not to carry a weapon **"
- "** - The game CAN be won without the use of weapons or armor"
-
- This Freedom of Speech nonsense has gotten way out of hand. Why can't you
- people give me a break and just submit to my petty authority.
