No more than 20 minutes here and so far the following shit has happened:
Had a great conversation with one of the guards at the West gate. Fantastic guy. Don't remember his name, though.
Had an awkward conversation with the big-sword fella who rode in with me on Cade's caravan. Don't remember his name, either. Really berserk guy, though.
Had that very same caravan blown to pieces by some psycho dark elf lady. She also vaporized a few city guards. I almost peed myself.
Had to fight off a couple of scary-ass beasts with a few bystanders as the lady scurried away.
Now I'm covered in blood and guts, I've got a terrible ringing in my ears, and may or not be in deep crap with the city's captain.
I think I'm gonna like it here.
