Hi Del,
Well, I have finally finished the game after purchasing in Sept 2022 and then getting stalled. So I re-started it and realised once I got up to my last save that I had stalled right at the last battle!! I now remember that I tried numerous times to beat the Kraken and failed
However, this time I remembered your recent advice for Echoes of Numa, and after a long, fierce and bloody battle, I eventually triumphed

Had to make several attempts as the Kraken would
not get poisoned
*Note to self: Watch Del's final boss battles - they are absolute doozies!!!
The game took me about 7:20 hours (last year I had got up to 9:02 hours so either I have improved or I missed something!) Levelled everyone up to Aala (28), Agnar (29), Glinda (29), and Conall (29).
I enjoyed the characters and storyline - thank you for the Quest Log and starting them off on decent HP

Every little bit helps in the beginning not to get wiped out. The game ran smoothly with the mouse support which I really appreciate. Also like the visible non-re-spawning enemies in this game as you have to do a bit of back-tracking when you reach the end of a dungeon. The side quests helped build out the play and gather more resources and better gear.
Thank you again for a fun time - I would recommend this game.
