Re: Wanted Mods List

I'm not very good at modding games, i.e. the technical building and scripting of things. I am, however, a published writer of fiction, game designer and coder (I've been doing that for most of my life, and I've worked in the industry)... I'd be happy to help with plotting, organising, writing stuff ...

Re: The Ending... [Heavy Spoilers]

I disagree. I feel that rather than it being a piece of pop that fades out opposed to the end of a grand symphony, I feel that it's like Holst's The Planet's Jupiter. You never hear the end of a chord progression or segment. Rather, it's left open to allow room for creativity and a different form o...

Re: The Ending... [Heavy Spoilers]

I have to admit, I felt very let down by the ending, and indeed by most of the back half of the game (everything after getting through the hidden pass). It felt short and rushed, almost a not-quite-afterthought: the maps didn't seem to have quite the care taken with them that the rest had, it was mo...

So did you solve your problem? I'm able to open your character file no problem.
I did, and sorry for the error. Tired dragon with his scaly brain ran the wrong editor... :oops:

Re: Questions, already...

On powder kegs again, and one specifically (blowing up the keg in the witch's lair) . I've made this attempt 10 times now, and always unsuccessfully. There's a sound effect that suggests something is happening, but nothing does : the lever doesn't move and the gate doesn't open . I'm going to hack ...

Just tried loading a Book III character; got this error: "unpack requires a string argument of length 4".

You need to go there with 3 of the 4 cruxes to get teleported to a secret area.
So, basically you ignore the final battle and walk away after you get the final Crux from Karamiklan?

I came up with the wrong anagram for the last word and spent hours using the riddle as a clue to find the "right" answer.
Glad I'm not the only one *wry grin*

Quest questions (spoilers)

1. Does anybody know who owns the bow Edgar needs in order to be laid to rest? I couldn't find him anywhere. :-( 2. I found my way to Master Warren's crypt and figured out the meaning of the words (they're basic anagrams, so not hard) but it doesn't seem to make complete sense and the words I tried,...

Actually, I managed to pick the lock of that door! With my Pick Locks of 4 and Concentration of 27, on about the 8th or 9th try it popped open. :-)

Huh. Nifty. Thank you. :-)

Still debating what to do about the other problem. I guess I'll just have to start over. Sigh. Which is not a prospect I relish, I have to admit. :-(
