Re: Your First Character Playing Book III?

I think I will start with a male, nor´landic, atheistic fighter. He will know about sword fighting, heavy armour, cartography, repairing and unarmed combat. Later, he will be able to use divine and/or elemental magic(s) in order to advance to paladin status and bows. Throughout the land he will be k...

Re: Features List?

How about granting the Nefarious Mage the same 5 % chance of doing extra damage when using attacking spells? To not overpower this type of mage, the 5 % chance could be granted only if the character has no melee skill. Otherwise, this chance could be divided by two so that there would be only a 2.5 ...

Re: 3rd Strike Preview

I have not read any re- or previews so far nor have I watched any videos, except for the official one. But it is really tough, I can tell you! :wink: On the other hand, there will be more to explore on my own, more surprises, more unexpected encounters and eventually more fun. So I think it is worth...

Re: Just in time for Book III...

What version do you have installed Calathon ? It was removed in 1.05 for some reason. We should ask BasiliskWrangler about it sometime but I wouldn't right now as he'll be busy preparing for beta testing. Want to know a secret that works on all versions? Read the below to find out how to enter the ...

Re: Just in time for Book III...

Are there any secret areas in Eschalon: Book II? If you have the Crux of Fire in your possession and step on the dock at the pond east of Eastwillow you will get teleported to a secret area! http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9379/isleoftom0.png Aww man, I had completely forgotten about that. I almost ...

Re: Book III Release Date

So will there be an option to buy and download EB:III from a BasiliskGames server in avoidance of secondary software? Of course. Get it from us, and it is yours forever to install on any machine as many times as you like. Buy from anywhere else, and if they go out of business you might lose your co...

Re: Book III Release Date

I think noname is talking about being able to download a game, copy it to a disc or memory stick and play it down the road without having to use any other software. That is my point. I am fine with a "digital only" version of a game and most of the games I bought within the last years wer...

Re: HD and widescreen

Father Christmas was kind to me this year, so I am now the proud owner of a 22" LCD monitor - goodbye, old times of CRT monitors. :wink: Now comes the interesting part of this post: one of the first things I did was playing EB: II in fullscreen and I have to admit: it really looks great! I fear...

Re: Book III Release Date

US $19.95 on day 1. Will there be a change after day 1? When I buy the game via Steam, then I cannot play the game without Steam, right? What I mean is: what would happen if Steam goes bankrupt? Then I would not be able to play the game anymore or would I? I know that this most probably will not ha...

Re: The story thus far...

Hehe, I like the idea that everything was a dream you had after falling off your chair and hitting your head very hard at the table, while sitting at the Orakur´s and having lunch with your brother. :lol: But I do not hope for such an end, as funny as it sounds to me. :wink: You are right, Painted L...

Re: The story thus far...

Thanks for the link, Prismatic Maelstrom, nice to read that there has been a discussion before. Interestingly, some people seem to be extremely sensitive to this topic. I think it is okay to discuss the pros and cons of this genre mixture and I absolutely do not think that the overall game is less e...

Re: The story thus far...

I have to admit that I am among those people who do not like a mixup of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And, to be honest, it was kind of a disappointment to me when I read and saw the alien-like story elements in EB: II. An old, nearly forgotten race of highly skilled magic users from NOT outer space ...

Re: The story thus far...

I thought Shina (I presumed it was a female, by the name) died after speaking to the hero?
This circumstance should make it quite hard for a reappearance in Book III, should it not?

Well, who knows anything about the Orakur, anyway... *whistling the X-Files-theme* :wink:
