It's been a very long time since I've played (around the Steam release, I believe?), and while I enjoyed the game thoroughly, I know a lot has changed, so I had a few questions I wanted to ask before diving back in.

1. Nightblades - I remember vividly when leveling my Nightblade that it became severely difficult due to their lack of area damage, or inability to deal with multiple targets easily, whereas the DK had a much easier time with this. (And is inevitably why I switched classes.) Has this aspect of NBs been improved upon at all, or has nothing really changed much since then?

2. Speaking of DKs, how are they these days? I enjoyed mine quite a bit and was curious if much has changed for them.

3. Since we're talking classes... which of the two I mentioned above would you say do the best (damage-wise, anyway) late-to-end-game? At the time of me playing, if I remember correctly, Mages were pretty insane damage-wise; while everything else was behind them, but fairly even among one another. Is this still the case? Does it pretty much come down to ability and equipment, or are there certain builds that vastly outshine another?

4. Dark Brotherhood! This was the one thing I was waiting on more than anything when I had to stop playing. I'm excited to get in to the DBH, which is why I was thinking about maining a Nightblade, so I was kind of curious: which class does the DBH benefit the most, if any? And how good is that line of content in general?

5. I see that Veteran Ranks were finally removed with the DBH patch - how has that impacted the game, and what had to change because of it? (ie: level cap increases, etc.) I know there was a lot of power creep involved with VRs... how was that handled?


That's pretty much all I can think of for now... and I apologize if the class-related questions have been asked to death, but after around a year of time away, I couldn't resist (and probably couldn't stand reading through all of the patch notes since then... heh).

Thanks in advance!
