  I've read some of those also and have been amazed by one blogger who criticised the lack of a "penalty system" but then freely admits in his next post to cheating his way through a combat in the first act.

  Anything that is new is going to receive a range of diverse opinions. I personally love what Destiny Quest is doing but I understand that it is not to all tastes. I do reckon that some of the people who are criticising the game probably need to play the book more. I don't think act one is a great representation of the rest of the book.

  Cut the man some slack. he seems to like the book but is less sure of the gamery parts of it. I can accept that as I've not played this type of book before. But i've played through dq three times now as all three classes and each time had a completely different journey more because of the combat than the choices in the story. I would worry about anyone who ignores the combat in this game could not really give an opinion on it. i tend to agree with the author this is an action gamebook. Be prepared for action! lol

  Hi there,

  I'm the guy behind this blog entry.

  Funny, to see it in this forum!

  Don't forget - it's just my personal opinion, and nothing to be upset about.

  It's still a well written book.

  Another penalty I am thinking of having is maybe a limit to how many times you can attempt a quest? How about 3 times? That way, if you die the first time, then you can search around for better equipment to do it again but eventually, if you can't do it the third, then you give up on that one.
