Okay, first encounter Richard saves CONFESSOR from quad chasing here. she charms one, but then is totally useless and iirc, her pet gets pwnd, leaving Richard (a guide) to deal with a battle hardened Daharan soldier.

THEN he gets sword of truth and tries to kill a tree, butt it stops him.

they leave whateverthatplaceiscalled (westland?) and try to cross the barrier where they encounter another dharan whomsts head Richard must cleave. meanwhile the sword begins exerting its pull in his mind and only later do he learn it too could consume him.

more stuff happens, grandpa wizard not around.

Richard gets captured by Denna whomst beats the shit outta him with electric dildo thing. he partitions his mind to endure the torture (beginning to activate his magical gift) and gets the satisfaction of kicking the little princes' face in, before Deanna beats the shit out of him more and transports him to dhara, to tag team him with the short chubby mord sith.

That goes on (basically him being useless lie k frodo) before he kills his dad and then has to make friends with a dragon and rescue.it's baby from a bunch guars or whatever they were called in order to save the world. I actually don't remember if the Dragon thing is before or after killing his dad, but point is, he goes through all that shit and has to ensure it mostly on his own.

Twinkies with a soul devouring sword (which he is the first to overcome in lie k a thousand years or something) - check
