There was an earlier post from BW suggesting that the lighthouse / boat might get 'opened up' in a subsequent patch, making E1 just a bit bigger. However that comment hasn't been repeated recently. There was never any suggestion that you could go further into the infinite South. Or get through the '...

Yes, I think you are stuck. Play in full screen and your monitor will probably do a reasonable job on expanding it.

I think the bow in the Ossuary is fixed, since you are given a pointer to it (along with the chest 'key'), and it has been the same each time I opened the chest.

You just aren't doing enough damage, so after any offset there is no damage at all. I can't remember what ups the damage for bows - read the documentation. Doubtless the bow skill, but probably Str or Dex or whatever too.

Yep, those are the sort of detailed action/dialogue options that E1 is sadly lacking. It would also be nice to have a second chance with him, as in 'I've reconsidered and I'll do it after all..'

Attacking, two handed, in the dark is what those light spells are for. 8>.

There were two big problems with the game - the first was the buglist (which was unbelievably long, some of which were real show stoppers) and the second was that this is just a direct implementation of a P&P AD&D module of the same name (Author Gary Gygax, iirc), which wasn't actually a gre...

I don't mind all the sexy new technology, I just wish they'd apply some more of it to the actual GAMEPLAY, and less to the sound, graphics, etc. I mean 'physics engines' for Krisake .. who cares if the bodies bounce realistically (well someone must, but not me). These days all I see is stuttering / ...

actually I think you may still be able to fast travel if you get to the SW side of that locked gate - not sure the program checks whether it is open. You can't fast travel from any other areas in Crakamir anyway. Sadly you only get one chance to steal the key to that gate. You can get there through ...

Maybe - if the distribution is flat (i.e. 7 and 14 are just as likely as 12) .. have you done any testing to see if it is?

So try the trick to reset the area where it is found, and then maybe you can find another one?? (If you do then try to not improve it, huh?).

If you have enough wisdom you can avoid becoming cursed (which typically roots you to the spot, since your Str and carrying capacity both drop). It doesn't stop the monsters appearing. I never did find anything that the statue did apart from cause trouble, although I guess you can use it to 'farm' e...

I think there is a missing option in the poll. The game is pretty easy (if you roll a decent set of stats to start with) for a melee character with magic buffs (and healing in particular). The game is ridiculously hard for a 'never touch a pointy thing' pure mage, because the damage spells are too l...
