I made a dual wield sword guy. It was pretty nice because I got crits twice as often it seemed. I don't think a shield is worth the tradeoff.

I'll probably make a mage and play through the demo again if I have some free time tonight.

I'd buy it, but I'm going to go pick up BF2 either today or tomorrow, and I don't like to throw too much money at entertainment all at once.

What's the difference on Legendary? Is it just monster difficulty, or do you get better rewards/exp? Or are they worse?

What is it they say about silence being golden?
