Thanks Arkansas. Hiding and smacking does sound cool. I'm seeing a fighter/thief build later. So do you have to sit passively and wait for them to walk by or can you use a move silent and move a bit?

Using JoyToKey and a Gamepad to play Eshalon

Hey all, Maybe all of you dedicated old skoolers know this already, but I thought I would share my tips on playing with a gamepad and JoyToKey. I find using a gamepad much handier than a mouse and keyboard. I can lay about on my couch and have no need to sit upright to reach hot keys. Because I move...

Very cool, thanks for all the tips. It's looking like I'm going more towards a Drudic Ranger more than the classic hide and sneak ranger. I think I will pump my Div more. I'm looking forward to Entangle being able to actually entangle something. I'm glad you can buy alchemy later. I think I will sta...

But I'm trying one now and I wanted to get some tips. Here's what I have so f...

Those were games are great fun! Got into those after playing Champion of Norath and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel <- Don't tell the Fallout boards I said that. :lol: Others with a refined RPG palate tend to turn up their nose at those types of games. I think they are simple, old fashioned good fun. ...

Thank God I'm in the largest group. 34 BTW. It's so hard to image me in the retirement home. Sitting in my lounger chair, trackball mouse in hand (better for the rhumatism), clicking away in front of all those RPGs I didn't have time for. Way better than Lawrence Welk. It definately gives me somethi...
