Yes, but I was wondering: if you don't do the Sparrow quest, can you continue with the main quest and go to Picaroon's Island?

How did you close that one? With an arrow? Would it work again? I guess you must've tried it already...

Re: Eschalon: Book II version 1.04 BETA

Okay...here's where we stand: Riposte negates Haste - this is not a bug. Riposte is a defense- you can't hasten a defense ! Your attacker is not moving as fast as you, and you can only defend as fast as they attack. You are effectively dropping out of "rapid mode" to more accurately defen...

Re: Choices in Hammerlore. Help

Another way is using a potion of invisibility hidden in a locked chest which you may find before you go to the stalker room. (Forgot the details, but it's on Mines, lvl one; not the entry level.)

Re: I really don't like the ending [massive spoilers]

Nah. What hero would want to take the risk that when he's entering the Citadel, Gramuk is not there, because he has finally figured out where the Crux was and had already gone to get it? :D But more seriously, there are two aspects I'd like to point out: 1) In Eschalon 2, you are sent on what seems ...

Re: I really don't like the ending [massive spoilers]

I probably shouldn't have read this post topic, as I estimate only being somewhere between 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through the game at this point. But now that I have read this, I must admit that I have essentially LOST ALL INTEREST in this game. (At least I didn't waste any more time on it.) (...) I...

Re: I really don't like the ending [massive spoilers]

Obviously what we need is a game for which Spiderweb does the story and Basilisk does the game engine. I'd pay good money for something like this. (Preferably party based.) Anyway, a different point: perhaps I forgot some plot details, but if Korren is really so strong as he is in the final battle,...

Re: 'nother Lore Question

Oh, if you mean the spell: there's another bug in the game which opens the alchemy window instead of casting Lore after a right-click (with the Lore spell readied). It happened to me twice. Saving and reloading the game helped in both cases.

Re: 'nother Lore Question

Well, I reported this as a bug about a month ago. Such a behaviour (unidentified reagents used in production of identified potions) was already present in Book I; I hope it will be fixed. A different point is that you don't "use" the Lore skill; simply, the game checks if your Lore is high...

Jesus Christ, guys, come on, take it easy. This thread on the whole is constructive criticism. Don't let it become a flamefest.

Re: I really don't like the ending [massive spoilers]

The game's plot is very very very very very very bad for this genre. Think about it. We go from fantasy to sci-fi nearly 2/3rds of the way through the plot? That's just bad. It'd be like running into Luke Skywalker 2/3 of the way through Lord of the Rings. I mean plasma guns and computer terminals ...

Re: I really don't like the ending [massive spoilers]

The game already does not permit you to throw the Crux away so that it would disappear. Thus, perhaps the easiest -- not satisfying plot-wise, but still -- solution would be to extend the restriction to the Crux leaving your char's inventory at all. It's a special item, once you get it, the game cou...

Re: I really don't like the ending [massive spoilers]

Well, I wrote my post in the way I did precisely so it wouldn't be vulnerable to the "don't make too many assumptions" counterargument. Once again: 1) Why should our character trust Korren's proposal, which -- I'm very sorry -- really sounds stupid? Like an obvious trap? You know, this is ...

Re: I really don't like the ending [massive spoilers]

HA. I knew I couldn't be the only one. I'm glad to see that, too :D You know, just a single text window telling me that I was blasted to death by "the One" due to not having any form of defense available would have been nice... no need for an extra ending sequence (meaning: an additional ...
