    From what I recall in the books, using magic consumed the user's life-force. There were work-arounds, like storing energy in gems or draining it from animals, but those are more advanced skills. Eragon in the books passed out for days after shooting a fireball without knowing how to control it, so the amount of magic Eragon's using here should've killed him.

      ​@@davispeterson1876he learned better ways to control his magic. At the start, he was always channeling himself. Oromis taught him how to better use magic using shortcuts- like instead of using magic to chuck a boulder at someone to kill them, he taught Eragon how to quickly and easily stop a heart which would require way less energy. Oromis also taught him how to use the life force of those around him, rather than himself. There's also the gift from the elvish ceremony that sped up his Dragonrider evolution and brought out his half elf features, which gave him a lot more strength to use physically and mentally for magic. Imo between eldest and brisingr, paolini did a decent job with that progression considering his age and style

    The DS version was pretty solid. The touch screen was how you cast your spells, which simplified controls. I remember that the game was surprisingly brutal for a DS game. There was a spell called bone break which breaks every bone in the enemies body. The melee attacks actually looked like they had weight to them. There was one where Eragon jumps in the air with his dagger and stabs the enemy in front of him with a downward thrust.

    They should make a game where you play as a brand new dragon rider in Alagaesia, at a time set after the events of the books. You can choose between humans, elves, dwarves and urgals as your rider, and you can choose the color of your dragon as well. Alagaesia will be an open world game, and Surda would be the sandbox level. Eragon & Saphira would be featured as guides to basic training and teachers of new skills. Now the object of the game will be to stop an urgal uprising, lead by an urgal who believes adding their race to the Rider’s Order is a threat to their autonomy.

    There is a very bad memory from my early teenage days.
    This movie was announced, which had an almost unparalelled advertising effort that worked wonders. And by that I mean adds on TV, re-editing of the first book, very well selected images for the trailer. I was absolutely hyped and bought the book (movie edition) straight away.
    I loved the book. And my opinion of it only increased the hype for the movie tenfold since it also included images from such movie as a reference.
    But then it finally came out on theaters, and... it was the worst disappointment I've ever had after buying a ticket.
    The movie was so bad... so underwhelming... Everything felt rushed, 4/5 of the characters didn't even appear, the environment, fortresses and cities had absolutely nothing to do with the book, there was no depth, the elves didn't look like elves, the dwarfs were just normal humans with armor, the urgals didn't have horns and weren't even particularly big. They were just some fucking normal dudes with pelt clothes and war paint all over!!
    The only good thing was the dragon, on which they seemed to spend 50% of the budget (and 40% for advertisement).
    So far, the worst adaptation I've ever watched. Not even Dragonball Evolution or Netflix's Resident Evil comes close.

      There's also the factor that different kinds of games would come out back then. Hack and slash games like this are a rarity today (Devil May Cry V is the only big one I can think of that came out semi-recently). Also a day when open-world was still fairly rare (games like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion were the exception, not the norm). So it's also a matter of nostalgia for a type of game that generally doesn't get made anymore, at least not in the AAA scene. The Two Towers, Return of the King, Demon's Stone, God of War, Devil May Cry 3, all of those games were a blast and I still think they are. Give me more hack n' slash, AAA studios! I'll buy 'em!

    Brom was the best part of the movies by far. Saphira was pretty cool, even if her design in the movie was completely wrong (she was supposed to have scales that shone like sapphires... hence her name).

    Tbh, combat looks quite fun.
    Cutscenes on the other hand reminds of the really old, horror-like budget movies.
