I played Rise. I like the look feel, areas.
But it does seem to be a work in progress. Maybe I am missing the point here, there are some rather odd things:
Unless it was a glitch, it appeared that all my companions were invulnerable. From beginning to end, not one took a single point of damage.
My character also seemed to only take 1 point of damage from everything until near the end when he started taking more regular damage. Though, I was a Ranger and noticed that my pet Bear took regular damage.
(Edit: I tried another character and this didn't happen, maybe the script from the first mass battle got stuck on?).
It seems like a lot of work went into designing areas that you largely just rush through.
Experience point rewards are off the chart, both for killing things and near random rewards. There is one point where I recieved enough to go up 5 or 6 levels in one shot and I wasn't even aware of the reason.
So again, I don't understand. Is this quite unfinished? Meant to be a movie like intro to an epic module?
It's good you like the areas. I think we're very good at making areas look nice. Companions are indeed marked as plot and thus they don't take damage. Keep in mind this is the beta version. We are actually releasing a newer version which will contain more quests soon and where companions do die but can be resurrected.
I don't know about the damage thing, it may have been a glitch since that's never happened when I've played through.
The EXP was given when quests were finished and to make sure you were LV 21 (Epic Levels) by the time you reached the end so you could take on the liches and dragons.
If you look again at my first post about Rise, you will see that I mention that the full version will contain the fixes to the problems you mentioned plus it will contain more quests.
A question? Did you like the characters? We're trying to develop believable companions each with their own personalities.
