In between being sick, snowed in, and a grandma, I have still be playing Warcraft and enjoying it.
I hit a sort of wall with Derwen, my upper level Troll Hunter. I was faced with nothing left to do, or buy the expansions, and it was getting harder to keep up with my friends online. I couldn't really get myself to spend the money on the expansion when I have so much left to explore in the game, so I decided to start a new character to explore more before I focus on end-game details.
I thought a paladin would be fun to play, so meet Flamehart, a red-headed Dwarven lass who is currently level 14.
She does mining, skinning, fishing, cooking, and some first aid. I snapped a pic while climbing up and down rivers and waterfalls this evening. Some of the falls actually made my stomach drop!
In the game, time passes and there is weather and night and day. The graphics are fantastic even at my pitiful minimum settings-- you just can't believe how great they look on a good video card!
