It's hopelessly repetitive, but I can't stop playing it. Maybe I just have the hots for BlackRose. I see Mutation in my near future 
Anyway, I was kinda wondering how near I am to the end of the game. Right now...
BlackRose directed me to an area where the phantasmal girl was seen, but it was heavily protected and we couldn't get in. A little later, some Heavy Axeman dumped a "Book of Iron" (which I can't use) on me. Mistral showed up and told me about an area on the theta server that I had to hack into.
I really like how they give you stuff in infection, and it plays through (via plot points, oooooooOOOOooo!) in Mutation.
Though, I really haven't gotten far in Mutation. It got boring for some reason. Maybe fighting the end boss ruined it for me. 
It's basically Zelda without any puzzles, boxy, flat, unimaginative dungeons, and a slighly more elaborate item system with more stats than you'd ever know what to do with.
The joy of dying and starting over from the last time you were in town are only surpassed by how maddeningly tedious it was to get where you were in the first place. [ 08-18-2003: Message edited by: Maradon! ]
