Hello!
I thought I would put this here, I just spent a long time trying to get my combat multiplier even higher, and eventually ran out of will potions, so I didn't have the shield, the max was 1271, and here's the screencap. I just thought I'd share this to you guys! I think it's a world record because the highest I could find online was 1006.
EDIT: As of the comments, it seems I do NOT hold a record, but that's okay! I'll definitely return and do it soon! =]
A horse having a wolf as a powerful and dangerous enemy lived in constant fear of his life. Being driven to desperation, it occurred to him to seek a strong ally. Whereupon he approached a man, and offered an alliance, pointing out that the wolf was likewise an enemy of the man.
The man accepted the partnership at once and offered to kill the wolf immediately, if his new partner would only co-operate by placing his greater speed at the man’s disposal. The horse was willing, and allowed the man to place bridle and saddle upon him. The man mounted, hunted down the wolf, and killed him.
The horse, joyful and relieved, thanked the man, and said: "Now that our enemy is dead, remove your bridle and saddle and restore my freedom."
Whereupon the man laughed loudly and replied, "Never!" and applied the spurs with a will.

Amongst R.E.M. fans their first three albums hold an almost legendary status. Moody, atmospheric, sparse, driving, and mysterious; they are excellent examples of post-punk rock that makes no compromises. Fables of the Reconstruction is the third member of this trinity (following the equally excellent Murmur and Reckoning) and it is the last of R.E.M.’s albums done with no thought towards commerce or exposure. Following this album R.E.M. recorded two more albums for their indie label, I.R.S., scoring a gold and then a platinum album while walking the fine line of art and commerce before signing a big deal with Warner Bros and throwing themselves solidly into the commerce camp.
But that was all in the future when they recorded Fables of the Reconstruction. This was still the R.E.M. that wouldn’t lip sync in their videos and had a singer that might play entire shows facing away from the audience and sometimes had his vocals so far down in the mix that you had to listen in headphones to discern them all.
The Michael Stipe that could lay himself bare and tell the world “everybody hurts” was not yet born in 1985. On this album there are no songs that straight-forward. Instead we get songs like “Driver 8”, with its impressionistic lyrics set over a relentless guitar line, surging unyieldingly towards a destination it may never reach.
This is not an album of conventional rock. There is nothing properly resembling a guitar solo, no synthesizers (even rock gods like Springsteen and Van Halen were using them in 1985), the songs are often not even properly “about” something. Although this is not to say that this is an album without a purposeful aesthetic. These songs are stories overheard, told by a narrator that isn’t going to stop and give you a cast of characters, drawing you in by the force of the tale, not showmanship or trickery.
This definitely an album best enjoyed as a whole, without interruption. The reward for your time is an atmospheric gem that shows you why R.E.M. matters so much, even if this R.E.M. bears little resemblance to the band that gave you “Stand” and “Shiny Happy People”.
