I mean I can't get near the damn thing, every time it lands it's blasting my face off before I can get into melee range. I'm using the starter spells (flames and sparks) but they're only mid-range and can't hit it while it's flying.
That character was meant to be a mage type as well but so far he's just ended up swording most things. Dual-wielding a sword and a spell is awesome though. My second character is a stealthy one, archery and dual-wielding swords and daggers. Brutal battleaxe'd barbarian dude is up next. As always, making characters turns out to be more fun than playing them. :D
That's pretty sneaky.
I was thinking last night that my character must look like some kind of psycho to a watching NPC. I'd get into a fight with three heavily armed guys. There'd be arrows flying everywhere, axes being shoved into people, magic all over the place. Eventually, I'd be the only one left standing, on the edge of death and covered in blood. Then I'd suddenly start chasing butterflies trying to catch them. Fucking nutter.
