Another patch came out for Hellgate: London, so I gave it a brief whirl again. Unfortunately the most annoying problem for me still isn’t fixed; although I no longer get the “Requirements Not Met” message when deploying my drone, it’s still not equipping its weapons properly half the time, making me have to manually reset them.

It’s more stable now that I’ve turned the graphical options down, so I’m able to make some more progress in the storyline, at least. I set off to the Necropolis, which it turns out isn’t the end of the game, but is still a bit ‘special’ in that it’s one of the longer paths in the game. There’s a couple zones to get to it, and then five levels to the Necropolis itself, whereas most missions only sent you one to three zones away, so it took a while to complete. And then, afterwards, some quest guy sent me back to the third level of the Necropolis, requiring another long journey to and through it…

Completing the Necropolis quests opened up another hub where I’m supposed to complete some ‘trials’ next, so I’m guessing the end is still a ways away.
