Gazoinks: Also, the Black Mountain Mines kind of suck immensely. I went there when I was lv. 16 with 6 party members and it still sucked, I can't imagine how it would've been if I had gone straight there from Tarant instead of doing sidequests for 7 or 8 levels. They could've driven off a lot of potential players.
atkes: When I was done exploring the black mountain mine, I really wanted to slap whoever had been placing traps all over the place there :) Anyhow, the line between frustration and "challenging, fun!" game is often as thin as a thread ... I had to use Stun a lot to have any chance against the golems and just set off all the traps to get through (thanks for the heals, Virgil)
On the upside, I had tons of money once I was finally done with that hellhole, enough to repair all the damaged weapons and armor from going through the mine (I had six party members, so I really didn't want to have to deal with constantly switching equipment in and out) and still had a bunch left over.
^Of course that's basically moot now, since after completing the Master Persuasion quest with the best result I now have more money than I can imagine finding ways to spend.
