    Would it be possible not to be forced in the road encounter scene, because of a higher Adv.level?

    What is interesting the first times walking down the roads, later is a waste of time,
    just to load and leave a scene, because enemies aren't a challenge and the XP is very low ...

    Beside this: The rogues and other low lvl enemies on the road should be scared, watching an Avatar, wearing a Shroud ... knowing, it would be better to let us pass ;)

    With several recent releases, I've updated random encounters. The biggest updates include making some of them two-stage battles. So far, this has been applied only to beast-based encounters, but over time I'll be applying something similar to the humanoid encounters as well. So, for example, you'll run into a handful of tier 2 bandits, and killing a few of them will draw out their leaders, who might be tier 5 or higher...perhaps even tier 10 or tougher! And with release 49, a character with a quest might appear after defeating the stage 2 "boss" creatures. Hopefully these sorts of changes will address your concerns.

    Thank you Sannio for this information - sounds really good and makes it more a challenge (like the Courage fight club)!

    Does the stag encounter still bring out a dragon?

    Sometimes, not all the time.

    Im not 100% sure what this means, is this any uncompleted quest or a specific one related to encounters?

    A character that only appears in encounters may show up and offer you a quest you would not be able to obtain anywhere else.

    I love the concept of this, in fact I ran out to test this many times on the tier 10 encounters over and over. I must say the reward was way under whelming even worse when you add travel time and or scrolls.

    If the tier 10 reward woulda been on a tier 1 encounter it might be a wash.

    @Sannio You might want to check the 'wolves' I think this one might be bugged. The encounters all start with Elder wolves...which is fine. But it never progresses. I have done about a dozen of them and not once has it had a progression. Heck two of them all that was in the scene was a wolf and a bear. Others were all Elder. I would think the scene for this would be Elder and Obsidian wolves....then person you talk to would come into scene. But i have yet to get any progress on Wolf scenes. Others are working fine...well corpion and stags. Dog is still the humans that enter. So might want to take a look at them and see if they are tagged to do this.
