That's an alternate version, yes, although my head is not normally in that position. I guess it depends where you keep your brainz. 8>.

Or as we say in the trade 'the problem appears to be between the keyboard and the screen'. 8>.

Some rock disappears (so yeah 'a door opens'). What you flip is not important, the final configuration is what matters.

I finished it too, although there was one 'jump from window' iirc which could only be accomplished at a particular screen resolution (and then only just) - the physics was so close that at a higher screen res you would always fall short (into the lava). Maybe the fixed that later. The spell casting ...

It's called a 'bag of holding' .. a very early AD&D invention. But yeah, things get silly at times. I mean have you ever seen what 600 arrows LOOKS like. You'd need a horse and cart, not a quiver.

Or just lure a few of them out and massacre them, then go get some more. They don't respawn. I'm surprised the giants are not faring well, when I played the giants pretty much chomped everything up before I got to it ..

The passkey and the amulet are not unrelated. I thought it was impossible to sell the amulet - it should be, because you surely do need it.

The maps are only written, and re-written, when the area is 'in range' of where you are. However as BW said, this was not well thought out .. maybe there needs to be another 'memory' skill - if you have good memory you don't lose what you previously knew. Right now everyone has really really bad mem...

You can get him to attack you IF you have already spoken to Lilith, and tell him that you're a friend of hers, or words to that effect.

I merely report what I see when I play the game and offer a possible explanation for it. Like it's possible the '+6' next to maximum damage means just that = +6 to maximum damage, +0 to minimum damage (minimum damage doesn't appear on the stats screen, right?). You might also consider whether the mo...

But why do you persist in believing that when rolling a 1-N it will never come out at a 1 (or whatever) just because it sometimes comes out as an N (or even an N + critical with triple damage?). As far as I know most of the 'buffs' just increase the maximum damage, or add some small overall .. none ...

Just because 'RPG fans' dislike TOEE does not mean they dislike that type of game. As I said upthread someplace, it had two problems .. too many bugs and a lousy story line. With the bugs fixed many of those fans (me included) would like the format/engine etc just fine. I vaguely recall it had some ...

No, it's not quite the same. When the game says '80% chance to hit' or whatever, that really is the 'to hit' chance. Once you roll a high enough number and DO hit, you then get to 'roll for damage' .. which is going to depend on your attack ability. The target then, presumably, gets to either roll f...
