I am a gamer from the old school – from the generation that launched them. Played them from the C-Prompt on DOS screens and loaded them from true floppy disks (not the little hard ones) back in the day. I cannot defeat the Kayran because my beat up old hands are not up to the technical challenge. RPGs and Strategy games, unlike Shooters, were never intended to be about how skillful one is at dancing around a keyboard or controller (in my case) but this game, in spite of its many good points, has made a major mistake in making that a requirement for success. I will never be able to conquer this boss. It actually hurts to try. So, is there a way to simply skip it and move on? If not, I will just have to shelve this game. (Not really a problem – except for the wasted money – which does suck.) The revamped Baldur’s Gate – best RPG ever – is out so I will happily move back into that universe and leave this one behind.)
