About Fred,

I bet there's a thread about this somewhere around here, but I'll add my own finding, which I find extremely useful in chapter 1: after a battle with several opponents, it's a good idea to save and load the game, as it heals Fred. Basically, I finished almost the whole chapter 1 with the very first Fred I've found.

Funny, there are many games out there who have this spell: summon skeleton, conjure skeleton, create skeleton, but none of them gave it an actual name, like PB did. Such a small change, that turns the game into such a masterpiece, by giving you a friend you care about, not just your other skeleton to conjure. I had many Freds along the way, but none of them were the same, it was almost like the first love.

A touch of an artist, I'd say.
