Haha yes I just posted about that in another thread. Unfortunately doesn't work when you see the scene again through the achievements screen, I'm looking to see if I can make it work somehow

This is valuable information. At last, I will be able to view the butt in all of its majestic glory.

Well, probably should also add a point in the romance where you see the whole image without the need of use those "cheat modes"

Ok I added a command in the right point of the romances, so you can see the full image both when you play in the game and also replaying them in the achievement screen (where the middle-mouse click doesn't work). No anatomic part will be covered anymore!!

Finally got to the new Fost battle! I liked it a lot :D I tried a completely different team this time: Amukiki Loren Ramas / Elenor Myrth Karen. The highest level in the group was 16, the lowest 13. I came prepared with 14 medium flash bombs (the 100 hp per pack kind) and got rid of his head as fast as I could. I had Karen and Elenor throwing bombs, Amukiki doing Shield Wall III, Ramus pulling attacks with Taunt III, and Loren using Rally III. I did the battle on Hard. The only reason it wasn't as hard as the old Fost battle was because I was very prepared with all those 100hp dealing bombs. And I knew what was coming. This fight would have lasted a lot longer if I hadn't gotten the head out of the way as soon as I could. I'm going to play it again without using the bombs and see how it goes.

Yes, using the bombs is a good strategy indeed. Maybe I should make them more expensive!

Earlier in the game with the Elenor only fights & the Breza, Karen, Elenor fights at the Citadel, I think the only way I could have won was with those bombs. Thief Elenor this time wasn't that powerful in the front row & Breza was 3-4 levels below Karen & Elenor. I'm not saying don t make them more expensive, just not super expensive :D They are only 100 gold, but I had 50 Fame at each Shop location. That scenario isn't very likely for the average player, I don't think.

Yes, for now either will leave as it is or maybe raise them by 50g each. I like to put some hidden "cheat modes" in the games too

I fought Fost on hard with the same team as above only without using bombs. It took longer, but the strategy was the same. Take out the head, then the gauntlets, then the torso. It didn't seem as hard as other fights in the game (Lizard King, Grob at the Citadel, Training with Breza). The reason I think I fared so well is because I focused on speed for Loren, Elenor, and Karen and focused on giving the best armor to Amukiki and Ramas. I think I'll try a run-through with the "new player" mentality. I'll use the Tactics skill set instead of Standard and give skill points based more on what the character "should" get based on their class (fighter, thief, spellcaster) instead of trying to beef up their speed. I know I had a lot more trouble when I played that way in previous versions. I also won't grind as much. I know I was up to 4 levels higher this time than in previous play throughs.

Yes, 4 levels + good equipment surely make quite a difference

For now I'll leave as it is, once expansion is out will probably rebalance the Fost's fight since will be normal for players to have higher level when they reach it, even without grinding.
