Id have to agree there. Henchies only can do so much. Im lucky as i bought it the same time me mate did, so if either of us need help, we do the mission together.
Im a level 15 N/Me. I play most of the time, unless i get stuck on a bit (then give it a rest)
Just finished the mission to find the source of the plague, so ive just got to the mainland. Its damn hard as u start out over there as a level 14, when everyones a level 20. At least u get to have 8 guys in a squad then... I might journey back to Shing island to finish the side quests, then head back with more experience points
