Re: Toadem Pollen

I was hoping it was used to make more of that special potion you give to the sick kid's mother. Ah well. You mean, "that special potion you fence for a cool 1,000 gold?" Hah! You know, I've thought about quaffing that loot more than once... It's like a quest where you choose your own rewa...

Re: New Challenge

That might be cool, but I gotta tell ya... the Unarmed Combat "Fury" feat is really kickin'. At the moment I'm playing a character with 20 ranks in the skill, and unarmed, unarmored, am righteously kicking butt. The only challenge I'm having is resisting the temptation to tweak out my char...

Re: Eschalon: Book II or Book I

I feel compelled to replay Book II more than Book I because of the challenges. It may not mean a whole lot overall, but meeting certain challenges that are recognized at the end of the game is a big deal to me.

Re: the grind is wearing me down

Having finished with my first successful playthrough, I decided to try something. Effectively a "Vow of Poverty" monk. I'm not going to use any weapons, armor, magical rings, amulets, etc. No equippables at all, except for perhaps thrown weapons. I tried KillingMoon's advice - at character...

Re: Completion score, place them here! (press P in game)

DAMN! that's a lot of bodies you racked up. You must have camped like crazy. I sure did. Spent nearly a calendar year of ingame time. I was tempted to mess around some more to see if that dude in Everdale was actually going to open up his spa and let me relax in it. :) That, and I didn't allocate m...

Re: wand

Lol... that's awesome if you can "repair" the wand. I never even tried that. I just saved it for the end fight. In my experience, the wand is about as good as "Extreme Focus" with a good bow and arrow. Much like the weapon feat, it is an auto-hit.

Re: Port Kuudad

Hah, you're all wrong! The smith secretly isn't a smith at all - he's a master elementalist! He set a teleport marker in that room before it was built, and sealed it off against our greedy selves. :)

At least... that's what *I* woulda done, if I was cool. :(

Re: Ruel treasure chests room

While I think it would be nice to be both a nudist and a scholar, I find that I can get 30k experience points, or however much it is, by camping out in Old Harpoon Bay for a while. I just get up to grab an ice cream sandwich or something, and when I come back, there's about, oh, 3200 xp or so, just ...

Re: The Orakur are WHAT?! (spoils)

As soon as I saw the dying Orakur's picture, I did think that he looked a lot like an alien gray, but it wasn't until he mentioned something about how their ship crashed here that it really drove the resemblance home. What I really appreciated about the game was that all through Book I and Book II, ...

Re: Ornamental Sword

Personally, I think it would be a lot simpler if the Constable would just turn into a massive Taurax, or a giant werewolf, and attack you with the sword, so that you could take it after you killed him. You know, as a level 1 character. Because, with enough kegs of blasting powder and a single stone ...

It'd be nice to have an option to turn this on and off, for sure. I like verbose details. :) Unfortunately, the "chat window" (is that the right term?) doesn't remember more than about 30 lines or so.... soo, *too* many details means that you won't be able to say, "Wait, what just hap...

Re: What's missing??

I could definitely go with more trainers, for sure. I definitely like the idea of training for the "secondary" skills... as it was mentioned, of COURSE I'm going to bump up my weaponry/magicky skills - that's a given! But somewhere in the back of my mind, I just wonder how many more hidden...
