Exactly, they even tell you the general direction of the lighthouse iirc. So you know, just explore in that vicinity...The content seems like a mixed bag. Sounds like there are some good encounters, levels, and puzzles, but also very poor directions about what you should do and where you should go (different from handholding; it almost sounds like they designed this game to be used with a quest compass only they took the quest compass out), occasional progress-halting from doing things the way they didn't and breaking scripts, and some long-winded, awful writing. I suppose the lack of Rhianna Pratchett script-doctoring is to blame for that last one, guess they shouldn't have let her go so soon after all. Too bad the American woman they hired to co-write wasn't enough.
It seems like that to me as well. I've played for a few hours and had to look up this:

A lot of the other quests seem equally as vague. Essentially you'll be told about a giant robot you have to kill, or a sunken ship you have to find, or a lighthouse, but you won't be told where exactly those things are. You're supposed to bushwhack around the countryside hoping to stumble upon the leads you're given. Good thing the map is limited.
Ugh. I didn't have any problems finding any of those things, and I have no words. The decline must have really taken root.
Unfortunately most people namedrop BG2 as a comparison because they have no fucking clue what they are talking about and just goes with what's cool. Considering Swen has always said that U7 is the biggest inspiration, it's very very few people who actually hold it up to that.In general, like I said earlier, for me, personally, this is the first game in more than 15 years to make me interested in "full-fledged" isometric (non-TRPG) RPGs again. So there's that. You just need to know just how much I prefer first person RPGs these days to appreciate that
At the same time, I also couldn't disagree more with all the Baldur's Gate comparisons that pop up. This game comes from an almost entirely different design school, and with an entirely different structure. In its interaction mechanics, it pushes CRPGs forward as a whole -- my expectation bar for W2 and PoE has been really raised much higher now due to all the neat things this game has/innovates on -- but with regard to its structure, I see it as an evolution of the 1980s RPGs like Ultima or Deathlord. It's pretty exciting. It's also great that, while building on that "old school" mentality, it generally does its own thing with regard to structure, exploration, interaction, etc., instead of being just a carbon copy of anything. That's also impressive and laudable.

. Anyone who is done/~ Level 20 should go fight Ardu (the cat wizard, I think that was his name). Now there's a "fun" optional fight.

or do i need the pet talk ability?
I don't recall whether than nets you any EXP though. I thought it was just a fun quirky episode, like so many others in this game.

Dunno if that has anything to do with it, but I found a

The Codex imps mention losing their Codex, that they stole from the demons. Just wondering if you ever run into it. By rich Codexer's I mean the ones that got their names in
