I must agree, that almost ruined the game for me. It's the reason I only played tanks in the series, fighters who could soak up damage.

I'm not sure how I got around it, but I think it involved slaying an insane amount of Goblins to get to level 2.

I also have to agree with Lupino from Max Payne, I definitely had some dread going on when that crazy bastard started ranting.
