Little bit of everything..

[impy]

There aren't many threads for KBDS yet, so I thought I start a new one. By the way, thumbs down for not having dedicated folder for the game on the forums, it's been out for almost 3 weeks.

Allo,allo, now listen very carefully, I shall say this only once
1) tell us what funny, plain odd or even highly embarrassing you've done during your first playthrough. The internets, they can take it.
2) tell us what you do not like about the game, not necessarily gamebreaking or illogical, maybe just personal preference. You never know, devs might act upon it.
3) tell us something about yourself. (have we not done this before?)
4) interesting observations?

I guess I start myself.
1) After getting to Portland for the very first time, I completely forgot about Catacombs. So I have worked my way through Portland no loss with the troops from here only, kind of bemused with poor selection of spells, units. It wasn't that easy actually. Only when I reached level 20 or so, after reading forums I was like - hmm, where are those demonologists, demons etc. everyone talks about? And it dawned on me..I also remember my first attempts at Whitehill, somehow I forgot I just been given Blackie, and was bashing my head how hard it was.
2) medals are kind of odd. Many of them are simply bonuses which will kick in after some gameplay, without your active participation - collect crystals, cash, prisoners, princesses etc. Quests length and also game length could have been a bit shorter - keep it fresh. I think KBAP done it all almost perfectly. Also, open world please right from the start. Why go through the same battles every time? It is about self imposed challenges anyway. But I have serious problem with this - follow me please : start a new game, skip all unnecessary battles, arrive at Shelter level 4. Fair enough, lose some troops with 3 guardians & Whitehill, get to Portland. Get everything you can from Atrixus, Helvedia etc., at the end ideally get Archdemons in Helvedia, and also enough leadership for 1. Immediately one archdemon with Jealousy will defeat Monteville & Inselburg scroll guardians, and also archdemon with Orc Strike will defeat black dragon. If you find some decent leadership item in the process, you will have after just 9 fights in new game 1 black dragon, 1 red dragon, 1 archdemon, demonologists, demons. Without any exploits or cheats. What's this ?! Too much, too tempting, too early. It is like upon starting a new KBAP game you get an access to Shettera..
3) Well, shocking news - my real name is not Impy. I am 36 now, and I am going to give it one last shot to get into porn industry..just kidding. I am originally from Slovakia, but live in London for the past decade. my hobbies are chess, bodybuilding and mountain walking - crazy combo I know.
4) I did not get this spell in my games yet, but I see in Matt's screenshot a Ball of Lightning. It looks like identical copy (name and look, don't know the mechanics) of Ball of Lightning from Diablo3, my at the time favourite spell with Demon Hunter.
