Pointy Ears (Geekend)

Runes of Magic got its latest big update (really, sort of a quasi-expansion, if you think about it), which introduced two new classes exclusive to the new race: Elves. So, when I have the time, as my weeks are kind of busy and weekends are spent unwinding and doing laundry, I’ve been piddling around on a new elven druid I made.

Druids seem to be more self-sufficient than their human priest counterparts, but this may just be racial modifiers coming into play, such as higher dexterity/agility for better dodging and more potent magic ability. I’m really not sure, but it’s refreshing to be able to do a moderately difficult quest on my own when it would take me hours to get a decent party together otherwise.

Outside of Elven Isle (the newbie area if you start off as an elf character instead of a human), I don’t see a lot of changes to the world in-game, which is why I really only consider “Chapter II”, as they call it, to be a quasi-expansion, rather than a full expansion which normally would add more than just a race, two classes and a new tutorial location.

I also got Scribblenauts last week. I have to say, it’s probably one of the most innovative and original games I’ve seen on the DS in a good, long time. It’s really refreshing and I love how open-ended it is.
