It was terribly done.  Aweful!  But in my mind all that counted was I was playing the role of a guy directly interacting with an Olympian GOD!!!  And I was tested and passed!  It was awesome and I the wonder of being that character was great.Playing out fantastic encounters are not remotely new to me now.  Wonder is just not the word I would use to describe them.  But they are more fun now then they ever were before.  Because I can run them well and the experience of playing out that roll has substance to it that was completely impossible to acheive when I was a kid.  A creative and rich interactive environment with a reasonable versimiltude combined with vastly more satisfying mechanical model of the game environment makes the kind of game I wished I could do when I was a kid.  Less wonder (less, not none) and a whole lot more creation and texture makes a much more fun experience.</blockquote>
