Fair – but I’d be surprised if it’s the last comment we see about high-INT being Easy Mode (with lots of bonus narrative snippets, too!) through the Xaos-lands. 
Eight and a half years ago, I rolled out the bandits chapter in a messy, incomplete state with shambolic stats. I’ve done it again now with Irduin. For anyone who worries that the second half of G2 is holding together, but who did enjoy G1 Ch2, I hope that’s some consolation. What you see now is not what we’ll end up with.
And your feedback is part of that process, so thanks!
