I must not be wandering around enough. I haven't found any caves yet, except one that is under water, but I can't seem to hold my breath long enough to properly explore that one. I'm guessing there must be some skill or equipment I can get to help with that.
I guess I've sticking too close to the quest log, as, after reading a few of these, it's apparent I've missed out on a bit. The one time I went wandering, I found that town in the SE where bad things have happened (trying not to spoil anything here), and got my ass handed to me, and after that I stuck to the roads, which I admit almost seem too easy by comparison.
I'm about 15 hours in now and up to level 9...has anyone finished it yet? If so, what level did you end up at?
