Well I finally waded through the last area of the game. I did not find Cet's Tomb to be that difficult. Game difficulty was set on normal and monster spawn rate on frequent.My PC's were level 20 and 21.

Spell books: Stone, Sun, Vine & Spirit. I was lacking about three spells from each realm at the end of the game.
I joined the Guilds but did not persue advancement in them and I finished only a couple of quest in the begining of the game.
I found the game to be very linear and I don't have that much enthusiasm to play it agian. (uninstalled it) There is something missing in this game (or somethings) that I feel are very important. It is the "Living - Breathing" aspect that is lacking. In W7, though the cities were ghost towns, all one had to do was "lore" with a NPC or cast Locate Person and you would get a sense that there are things going on in different areas of the playing world that you (your party) are not directly involved with. Something that simple made the game (W7) alive for me. I found W&W to be a bit sterile in this regard.
So.... it back to my favorite game. I have a party of 6 waiting just outside the IoC to fininsh and a single PC game about a third of the way through.
