You should download and install the patch 2.22, as ther was a bug with
the Tentacles of the Demoness, which would cause lags. And don't
wonder, where the random quests are gone, they "fixed" them that way.
The game gets more than just an "Act 5"; it is a fully fledged new
story. The first portion was tedious for me, as my chracter was waqy
beyond lvl25 when he (a battle mage) entered the area. Be careful in
the NukNuk forest; the clan chiefs have a nasty weapon that they throw,
and that hits hard.
There are some bugged quests with the pirates; mainly the one with the
potions against skeletons (in the German version, they are called
"draft of hell"). It does only work with full potions, so you'll have
to collect some, if you want to finish it. It isn't important for the
main quest, though.
The hardest area is close to the end, the Rim of Hell, the Valley of
Tears and the Palace, where there are strong monsters that can stun and
even silence you (beware the brains). In the palace, there are strong
fire throwing elite guards, which guard the stairs to the place where
Anducar stands (trap!). And Anducar is no wimp, he is a Demon.
The setting is too eery for my taste, but I can stick with the
"lighter" side of Sacred and still advance in other difficulties, so
there is no problem if you install it, but don't want to visit too
often.
Of course, there are new sets.
