You know, if there was an inn on that island, I'd totally just hang out there. ;)

Now, your next mission is to figure out which secret grid-square gets you transported into the hidden "Beer" area of that one map!! :!:

Also helps to know that Jedi Learner don't need no stinking holiday to play practical jokes with the map editor. ;-)

Sorry. :( Would it make you feel better to know that I loaded a game up and ran there to try it before posting? ;-)

I tried it too because BW mentioned that he was going to use something similar to access another chest.

I promise that Book III will have several super-secret bonus areas. :wink:

Can I admit something, then?

I like that kind of thing, but I like it a lot better if there are some kind of hints put around (e.g. something a character says, a 'torn' page/letter with an obscure reference to something that can be found in a drawer or chest somewhere, etc.) to "guide" players to finding those "super-secret bonus areas".

I probably wouldn't enjoy Jedi_L's hypothetical gag here, because having Item X in your inventory while on Grid-Square Y unexpectedly transporting you to secret area Z is significantly less satisfying than putting half-a-dozen clues together to figure out that you need to have Item X in your inventory while on Grid-Square Y so that you can then transport yourself to secret area Z.

Just (another!) $0.02 from me! :shock:

Totally agree. I wouldn't put completely obscure secrets in the game that have no chance of anyone discovering them.

...except for maybe one. One absolutely impossible secret that only I know of, which I would reveal on the one-year anniversary of Book III's release. :D

And I'm definitely cool with that! :lol:

However, I'm pretty confident that the super-fans around here would discover your "absolutely impossible secret that only [you] know of" within two months of Book III's release, and "spoil" your surprise... :cry: :wink:

What will happen is Jedi Learner will post some and BW will put them in later versions to confuse the issue. :)
