Have you people done the chicke run quests near Michel Delving? Looking for worms, talking to chicken, trying to rally dogs and whatnots to fight against wolves, all that when you are transformed into a level 1 chicken.
I had quite a blast yesterday doing the initial chain
Then started the quest to Rivendell. Got to Trollshaws. Succeeded to dodge a couple nasty places, got to the valley-path leading to Rivendell, started up Fraps so that I would be able to capture the glorius moment when I get to see Rivendell, did jump over a rock and *SNAP* a wolf ate me. Waaaaaaah...
That big bad wolf came from nowhere. It was so close, snif...
Have to try it again some day. It took about half an hour to run from Michel Delving to where I croaked, so not too horrible time waste.
