- I just killed the Beholder and solved EOB I and must say I'm more than
- a little disappointed. I didn't use the wand of Silvias, nor cast any
- spells (well, I did get him with one fireball, but that was it) and
- killed him simply by sidestepping, slashing, sidestepping, etc.
- One of my characters DID get killed by the fireball trap and I did
- initially back out of the room so I could go back in without being
- face to face with the Beholder (since it moves around).
- I won't even mention the ending.
-
- After the other levels, I just expected something a little tougher,
- or at least faster.
- FWIW, my characters are all level 9 and I had just gone to level 12
- to see what was there, so I'll probably go back and finish the special
- quests I missed later on.
-
- I had asked earlier how a person was to know that special quests existed,
- since the manual didn't say anything about them, and the game gives you
- no hint that they exist (only a tone, exp and goodies if you complete it)
- and since found out (via America OnLine) that a paper included with the
- game gives a hint to this. I assume this is an order form for the hintbook
- since my copy does not include this paper, but does include the hintbook.
-
- I just hope EOB2 is better.
