Hey Innominate, that sounds like a great plan and all, but I think you need to fix your typo on step 4. It should read: Have a woman make you a sandwich.
Yeah when I take off all my armour and reset my skills I have a negative 55 in my strength. This game is starting to have far to many problems for my likeing.
This game is very easy to beat. All you have to do it take 5 levels in recovery, 3 levels in fortify, 1 level in battle aura, and the rest in warriors spirit. Also get items that increase your strength.
