I have waited nearly 2 years for this game since A Grain of Truth and I regret not one second of the wait. The story is just as compelling as it was in the previous releases, and the way the puzzles fit into the game without breaking the continuity of the story is done amazingly well. There were moments when it gets confusing what the current objective is and there weren't a lot of puzzles which makes it less of a game and more as a narrative but overall, still a fabulous experience. Patiently waiting for Chapter 2!
some random skills from items after lvl 5:
white mage dress: regen, viking armor: mammoth

darkblast, and i think bamboostaff thing: ivy.
Hope this help!
