Old dogs, new tricks?

.

While not optimal, on my second or third try after writing the last post?  Done.  I beat Tiamat.  While it wasn't flawless, and it hurt like pulling teeth in some ways, done is done is over... until the next time or worse, the next levels of difficulty.  Meh...  I am well on my way to the next target.  Having actually gained access to a means of backtracking already, I went back and picked up what I could.  Some areas remain off limits to me, others I had missed I found, and a few were open to me now that I have a ranged weapon.  Hmm, I probably shouldn't push it when I am this tired, I got seriously lost and messed up in one area.  While it is a bit of a complex area, I simply forgot where I had entered.  I was combining, in memory, my first play through and my return.  The two have different way points, with a new means of travel allowing for a different way out.  Never mind, problem solved.  I did look at forums, but they... were more confusing that not.  I just did it myself.

Not bad for an old dog.  I am just... collecting a few things while I wind down for the night.  I am not sure if old dogs can learn new tricks or if it is more like old dogs can continue to do tricks they learned when younger?  I'm just not sure which is truer, if both are, or if only one applies.  Perhaps none of those work.  Blasted thinking!

Good night, for sure.
