alternate ending [SPOILER!!!!!! (in case you can't tell)!!!]

Post by Bob the Thief »

My thief killed Korren (and broke the game). Became the Saboteur.

Tried various things on Korren. Most effective was using Skill Feat Focus and shooting regular arrows with the Warmoth bow. Took awhile, but since he just seems to have a dagger and not move all that fast, it was no problem to stay out of melee range and just pop an arrow at him whenever the Skill Feat Focus came on. Just need to figure out how to get it to regenerate faster. Fireball seemed to work OK, but the 3X damage from the Skill Feat was better.

Would have been nice to be able to use the +99999 Xp (improve my character for the extension) before the game spit me out.

Not sure why this ending "broke the game". Could have gone something like this:

Kill Korren.
Get lots of Xp.
Something is dropped.
Check the loot bag, find the other stone.
Some text that says this is the Crux you have been seeking. Check your quest journal, find you are supposed to destroy it.
As you bring the stones together, the One appears, takes the stones, and sends you off to the jungle.

Same ending (effectively).

And another thing. When going to level 4 of the Talushorn you come across some weird machines (that open the gates) much different from what you would have experienced in this world before and would be unfamiliar with how things like that might operate. But all you have to do is bash it once, the machine breaks, and the gates open.

Would have been better if:
a) you had to take a body part (hand, head) from the Oakur that dies in the cage on the previous level to use the machine (e.g. finger print scanner). Applying the body part to the machine opens the gate. Perhaps there are multiple body parts left and you have to pick the correct one or take them all.
b) if you don't pick up the correct body part and get to the machines without it, you are past the level 4 gate and can't go back. If you bash the machine with a metal weapon you get a big ZAP (much damage, even worse if wearing a lot of metallic armor) from the machine shorting out. If you use a non metallic weapon (e.g. pine cudgel) you don't get zapped as bad (or at all) but it takes more effort to destroy the machine (maybe a cudgel per machine ("you destroy the machine, but your cudgel is also destroyed"). That way it is more difficult to destroy both machines. Arrows should have little effect on the machine (most ricochet off).
c)The machine should be fairly resistant to spell effects except for major physical damage ones (e.g. fireball).
