I am playing my third game, this time as paladin, and am currently sneaking around the coasts of Darion, stealing whatever I can. I remember in my last game as mage, the griffin island in Arlania held like 3 runes (might, I think they were), but this time around there are none, but scrolls instead!
This is not the fairest way to randomize, IMO. There's a huge difference between getting a precious rune and a (near) useless scroll. So each location should hold either a rune or scroll (albeit a different one each time), not one or the other. I don't mind getting gold OR scrolls from a chest, though, as the difference between these two items is not nearly as huge.
Anyone agree?
