You'll see what I mean.
I look forward to it!

Re: The State of the Basilisk, Summer 2017

I may not love TRP. I probably wasn't going to love Zatmos. And honestly, my love for Eschalon is partly nostalgia at this point. But Eschalon was an important part of my gaming life when it came out, and that's enough for me to give you the benefit of the doubt and pick up whatever you release. And...

Yeah, you're going to need to upload that to imgur or similar before anyone can see it.

Re: What *exactly* are the differences between the classes?

The differences between classes are (1) starting skill and (2) which stat affects your max MP. In Book I, Intelligence contributes to MP at character creation for all classes, plus at level up for Mages, Fighters, and Rogues. Wisdom contributes to MP at both character creation and level up for Heale...

Re: Game crashes on startup (Windows 10)

Good point, I was on an old version since I rarely run my Windows 10 VM. After much updating, I'm on version 1709 build 16299.19, and I'm still seeing the same (normal) behavior: I can install the game, make a new character, save, load, exit, load, etc. Maybe the issue is that I'm on Windows 10 Ente...

Re: Game crashes on startup (Windows 10)

If someone can give me a step-by-step to replicate the issue with a non-Steam version, I can probably work out what's going wrong.

Re: Game crashes on startup (Windows 10)

I've been trying to replicate this with the non-Steam stand-alone version and haven't been able to. I installed Book III, created a new character, saved the game, and exited. Then I restarted the game and loaded the save twice. No crashes or anything unusual. Am I missing something, or is this only ...

Re: Game crashes on startup (Windows 10)

Yes, I acknowledge the calls to open source Eschalon but that is another long conversation with some legal twists, and I am not ready to address that yet.
Acknowledgement!

Re: my current thief level 14 nefarious rouge

You may as well keep raising Dex. If you're not going for high MP or HP regen, it's probably your best use of stat points. Or maybe Strength if you want to wear heavier armor. The formula for lock pick success percent is skill * 3 + dex / 3 + 50 - lock quality * 10, and the highest level lock is 10....

Re: Quicksave Error

The shadowmirk_l1.ent file in your saved game is corrupted. If you remove it, you should be able to load your game with no negative side effects.

Re: Quicksave Error

Bad news, I'm afraid - all of the files in your saved game are full of zeroes, and no data. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing this same symptom once in the past, but certainly it's a rare bug. Sorry I can't recover anything for you.
