I just finished Legend on easy and now up to level 12 in AP on normal. The jump in difficulty (playing mage in both games) was startling. I'm just now getting the feeling that I have a strategy for getting through the battles and progressing. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy the game at this level of difficulty, but now I think I can handle it. I'm also no hardcore gamer.
Right now I'd have to say that the story of Legend was much more satisfying than AP. Legend had a certain loopiness and not taking itself too seriously which AP lacks. AP has improved a lot of the feel of the UI, following the lead of a lot of mods you'll see for Legend. But the story is less coherent, and the islands are too small for it to really be an exploratory game
Yeah, about that editor. I read through the tutorial PDF today and started the editor just to get a feel for it. It seems easy enough to make a height map and start painting it with textures, but I'm more interested in story content than pretty pictures. I've never done Lua scripts, and some the examples are a bit hard to decipher. While the game has translated all the visible text into English, there are many internal labels that are still in Russian.
