Indeed! Your post caused me to re-read a section of Kaxgar for the first time since its release... and I found some bloody typos!Rxke wrote:AAAAARGH!

Now if only we could script all that stuff...

Characters were established soon after they were introduced, good use of descriptive language, plot seemed to be thought out well. I would have to say that the end felt a bit rushed, like you were trying to keep it down to a certain word length or maybe decided you'd already taken enough time with the build-up and it was time to push it forwards to the conclusion, perhaps.
Don't want to talk about the storyline itself too much, since it'd be a shame to give spoilers that might detract from enjoyment fun of others reading it. But it had some nice twists, and the way you've fleshed out items (like beverages) mentioned in the game adds to the fun of your stories.
In any case, it was a good story and I enjoyed reading it. From the quality, I would guess that you have written quite a bit before. Both of the stories I have read by you felt a bit too "polished" for them to likely be the work of a beginner writer.

As it might have been useful for you creating a series of cliff hangers as you sweep between the 2 desperate situations.
But that's a style thing and quite frankly the story as it stands doesn't need it. A fine tale.

As well as the plot and style, the thing i appreciate most is how you weave the story so closely into the warp and weft of the planets regions and galaxies. Increases my 'wonderment' factor for when i'm zipping around the eight - what tales lie just off the scanner.
