Then earlier today, most of the way though my third time through the game (on difficulty level NG++, which means normal replayed twice), the experience points maxxed out. It still increments, but in such miniscule amounts it will never reach the end of that progress bar. About 10 levels ago, her “fame” progress stopped progressing. At level-up time, you assign character and skill points to build your character.

Why do people not see anagrams?) Anyway, she’s a dual wand-wielding “embermage” dealing massive amounts of elemental damage and has been great fun to play.Īlthough the game developers did a great job of keeping the game world balanced, in that no matter the character’s level, the monsters are always roughly the same difficulty, the main incentive to continue playing was always to get the character to level up. Iris Colt - Colt Iris - Clot Iris - Clitoris. Here’s what my character looks like now: Įxcuse her rude name… It’s an anagram for a certain bit of female anatomy that I always use as my female character’s name. I’ve been escaping my feelings and triggers by playing this game for weeks.

It’s bittersweet though because I still have the feelings of sadness. That version of me would be back in active addiction now, and it is good not to be that person anymore. The thing is, I wouldn’t have been able to deal with those feelings a couple (or three) years ago. I was going to write a very different post, one that describes my feelings of sadness (and the reason for those feelings), and how it affects me.
