Oh, for pity’s sake. I trekked all the back to Sytheria to kill that ogre. This time I managed it with ease, felling the big idiot with a few blast arrows to the chest. I grabbed the item he was guarding, then took it back to one guy in town, who told me to go see another chap.


So I went through the graveyard (killing a zombie on the way), talked to this other chap, who told me to go back to Sytheria to kill someone else. Now, maybe I’ve missed a fast travel option somewhere, but this is getting beyond a joke.

It’s a great game in many – most – ways, but it doesn’t half feel like a slog sometimes. Of course, it should be noted that getting back to Sytheria would probably only take somewhere between five and ten minutes, but that doesn’t stop it feeling like a chore.
