There are four other characters as well, all of whom will eventually join your party, regardless of whom you chose at the beginning of the game. They're all a bit more interesting than the typical bruisers and babes too. There's Seris, a Dragon Mage/Wizard full of fire, air and earth magic; the regal High Elf Tull; an Amazon barbarian named Jayla; and Janos, a dwarven tinkerer with a penchant for explosions.
Those aren't the only advances, either. For instance, you can actually see monsters far in front of you, even looking down upon them from cliffs, enabling you to strategize. If you see some real wreckers, will you swap different magical stones into whichever of the hundreds of weapons you're wielding to deal extra damage? Will you bail out and play some multiplayer action to accrue more experience and level up? Maybe you'll just be sure you remember which characters can execute which special combos with one another. Either way, when the Apocalypse comes, we'll be salivating with anticipation.

I was the founding Executive Editor/Editor in Chief here at GR, charged with making sure we published great stories every day without burning down the building or getting sued. Which isn't nearly as easy as you might imagine. I don't work for GR any longer, but I still come here - why wouldn't I? It's awesome. I'm a fairly average person who has nursed an above average love of video games since I first played Pong just over 30 years ago. I entered the games journalism world as a freelancer and have since been on staff at the magazines Next Generation and PSM before coming over to GamesRadar. Outside of gaming, I also love music (especially classic metal and hard rock), my lovely wife, my pet pig Bacon, Japanese monster movies, and my dented, now dearly departed '89 Ranger pickup truck. I pray sincerely. I cheer for the Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. And behind Tyler Nagata, I am probably the GR staffer least likely to get arrested... again.
