What Dragons Need by Io
After over fifteen hundred years, the mythical dragons return without any warning and spill across the land, killing all mortals they see for no apparent reason. Any attempts to stop them are, while not total failures, vastly ineffective. It's only a matter of time before the people of the Union of Races all perish. You, however, aren't going to take this laying down. With a bit of luck, skill and fate, you're going to do your best to save humans, elves, and orcs alike...
... or will you defect to the enemy's side, and help them acquire what dragons need?
Version 1.0
-Game is complete. 10 endings available. Like it or hate it, please do leave critique!
-Downloading is recommended for the best playing experience.

Coming back to this game that I played when I was a young teen and I STILL can't beat the final boss. The timed events lag the game and I have to go through 4 rounds of randomized strike sequences before getting to the end. Its impossible. If the author is still around I would love to be able to finish this game because its truly one of the hidden gems of IF and I can't believe a game of this scope has so few players! I still think about it sometimes 7 years later.

I started playing the game and liked it, right until the first mission.
I have to agree with the person who dislikes quick time events.
These are not exactly friendly for screenreader users.
I keep getting killed before I even finish reading the description of the current location, not to mention what is happening.
I would like to play the game, but unless the option to turn off quick time events is added, I am unable to continue.

Ok, I've decided to make a walkthrough of this game up to where I stopped because its awesome and its so damn hard (for people with no brains like me)
To the the owner of this game: I hope you don't kill me for making this :D If you don't want the game to be spoiled I can take this comment down (I think?)
Btw this whole thing will be written in the caesar cipher, if you want to read it copy and paste the text below and visit this website that translates it for you : https://v2.cryptii.com/caesar/text
Also, just know that theres no way to cheat!!! (Is that a good thing?) I've tried taking rations and stuff into battle but it just doesn't work!

~~~~~SPOILER ALERT!!!!~~~~~ ~~~~~SPOILER ALERT!!!!~~~~~ ~~~~~SPOILER ALERT!!!!~~~~~ ~~~~~SPOILER ALERT!!!!~~~~~ ~~~~~SPOILER ALERT!!!!~~~~~ ~~~~~SPOILER ALERT!!!!~~~~~
So I decided to join the dragons but then after the battle at Bovek I found all the stuff and now
I'm fighting Arlaka and he has da phoenix armor and I tried to drink the potions and stuff but he kills me. Help?
Also, at the same time I'm playing the part where I escape from the camp. So I figured out the password to the gate in the cave and I found the weapon (whose name I can't spell) and I'm in Bovek dealing like 1000 damage every time but I killed all the enemies and I can't find anymore to kill so what do I do now?
