Haha yeah, I just played it some more a bit ago and got poisoned myself. 25 gold for EACH party member? Damn, this game is expensive.
The items in general are pretty irksome too. There's no way to tell how much more efficient your character will be with a hand axe than with a club.
I mean, I played for a while fighting with a bare hands before realizing that the clubs I had were just in my backpack and I hadn't equipped them yet. So I dug those out and equipped them. Then later I got some money and bought a couple of hand axes and equipped those. But even between hands to hand axes, I didn't notice an increase in my performance during combat, I felt I still did about the same.
And when you go to buy them, the best info you have is the price. Is a short sword really better than a hand axe? I don't know, but it costs more, so it must be better, that's all you have to go on. Kind of lame.
I'm sticking with it, just trying to sort it all out.
