As the tile says, I'm stuck. I'm playing with Albert, i'm 15hours in the playthrough and I cannot go ahed. Cannot kill the dragon in the temple and there's nowhere I can go. Mobs are too strong. My clock is full -.-

I tried RS2 some time ago and went grinding for XP first to get a good start. But then I read the game only gets harder if you kill too many mobs while not progressing in the story. Is this the case in all of the SaGa games, grinding being punished?

I've been playing for a few hours, and I don't "get it." I want to like this game. It seems so unique. I like exploration, a game doesn't need to hold my hand, but there needs to be something interesting to explore. I just see monsters or towns with nothing to do. I like not having quest markers or being told exactly what to do, but there need to be clues. It was neat to look for someone and talk to the innkeeper when I returned and she wasn't there, but that seems to be the exception. Everything else has ...

1. Are these games like the Final Fantasy games where they don't follow a specific order in each game has their own story? 2. I had read that there is no exp in this game. And that your stats gains are based on your actions in combat. What exactly does that mean? 3. Do I have to play each character to get the whole story? Or is this one of those games where you pick a character and then everyone else eventually meets up?...

+1 german, I would love to play this game
