Eee! Finished the game, very nice ending! Set-up for a sequel, maybe, too? That would be nice. Final level was 24 with 181 HP, so I didn't have too much trouble, though potions were still necessary.

I do have two remaining questions, maybe I missed something along the way. What were all of those seashells for? I had a bunch, and since they were red in my item list (like the quest-specific items) I didn't sell them anywhere, but I never found anything to do with them. Was I supposed to?

Secondly, there was a termite farm somewhere in the west/southwest. I ran across it very early on and didn't do anything there, but never had a chance to get sent there for anything. As I recall, he was selling termites or something? Was I supposed to buy one? Would it do anything?

Oh, and finally, what did most people end up using as a weapon near the end? I like the war axe of misery quite a lot, but I wanted a nice powerful one-handed weapon so I could use the completed shield. What's the best one-handed weapon?

------------------

As for the end being open, it's that way because PoG was developed with plugins in mind. That is to say, Ambrosia wants users to make thier own additons(and/or "sequels") to the game with Coldstone. Quite a stroke of marketing genius, if you asked me.

I was also wondering about the termite farm, I did end up buying one, but as far as I can tell it does absoulutly nothing, and now it like the guy ripped me or something.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

The seashells can be later sold, for a small profit.

The termites are more interesting. If you buy one, then head southeast, closer to the Dwarf, you'll find a stranded human with a termite. He asks you where Gidolan Keep is so he can deliver your termite. A great laugh.

My favorite is the woman in Berglum who needs help "moving her furniture" -- and then you run into her husband later who is complaining about the money he had to spend on his wife's huge Elven bed.

all i know is that when i agreed to move her furniture the lights went out and i reappeared at her door with my stamina refilled....
ah, the perils of a wandering hero.

------------------

Huh. I'd have thought you'd appear at her front door with your stamina diminished.

Of course, maybe she just baked you cookies. heh.

Shoot 'em with everything you've got. If anything still lives, shoot 'em again.

nothin' like a fresh dish to refresh the spirit, my friend

Ugh. Don't tell her husband about it...
