I don't think it's specifically supposed to be ham, but it is delicious meat that will heal you a good amount. If you just kill it on it's own you can get meat, but not delicious cooked meat. Though if you didn't have the genie, you can knock them into campfires for the same effect.

It's an awesome game, as is the sequel.

Legend and Beyond Oasis are both truly fantastic games. Playing them both is highly recommended. Just make sure it's Beyond Oasis, not Story of Thor which is the PAL release. It runs at a lower frame rate and plays like shit.

Yeah, it expands as you progress. Lots of games do that. Eventually you have an entire city along with outskirts and indoor areas available to you.

The characters aren't generic. They all have different portraits, strengths, and weakness. If you don't want your main character to be a hacker you can hire one for your team to hack for you. If you don't need a hacker you can just hire extra muscle to do maximum damage.

I agree, actually. I imagine that if they released a sequel following that same style it could've been a renowned classic.
