@puppu if poison can jump from corpses, that'd be a good reason. Not sure, though.
@Vladeus Because the skill descriptions haven't changed from the previous games, which had bosses. Continuity = good.
Beat the game, didn't get he medium badge, but got the hard badge.. refreshed the game hoping that'd update it or something, and lost my progress. -Sigh- don't really want to waste another few days beating the game.
