I’ve just finished my second run through Hordes of the Underdark. It was much easier playing as a Sorcerer and I easily breezed through combat encounters which were extremely challenging for my Druid build.
I did, however, have considerable difficulty battling the Ultimate Bad Guy. Much to my chagrin, I discovered the folly of neglecting Persuade and Intimidate, and my decision to use only two savegame slots didn’t help matters either. Still, I did manage to (eventually) complete the game thanks to a lucky break.
Speaking of luck (specifically, the bad kind), here’s an amusing screenshot from HotU:
If you think that was unlucky, try waiting several months for the English Premier League to start, getting all excited about having one of the matches of the season right at the beginning and then discovering the satellite decoder has decided to go on the fritz on the day of that match. That’s unlucky.
Anyway, Chelsea edged it thanks to a goal by Gudjohnsen — we’ll have to wait a little longer to see Ferguson and his men wipe that smug look off Mourinho’s mug — but it sounds as if United had trouble converting their superior possession into goals. Ferguson’s side had the same trouble last season against teams like Portsmouth and Wolves and I do hope this isn’t going to be a recurring theme this season as well.
