I mentioned it to BW, I think during Beta testing, and thought it would be a good place to have a hunter who uses traps. He'd be a trainer for skullduggery. Apparently didn't get put in. Wish it had.

I just noticed that you can't enchant simple (non-armor) clothing for some reason. Could we have this ability added? Enchanting a bonus onto breeches, shirt/blouse, rope belt seems an obvious and reasonable tactic for those not wearing armor.

I think that's because those things don't actually have an Armor Rating - it's, like, how can you increase the Armor Rating of something that's AR=0?!

But I don't have a strong preference on your idea one way or the other...

Two issues, for the Thieves' Arcadia general area:


You can't enter the square grid in that corner. I think this one's been brought up before. But, unless I'm missing something, I don't currently see anything in that square that should prevent me from moving into it.

And, this is a minor "text report issue":


The order of the text is incorrect - you should get the report on the trap being sprung (and saved against), and then you should get the report about the chest being "Empty, yet trapped!..."!!

Also, the text in that is incorrect - it should either read:
"Empty, yet trapped! Just the kind of trick you'd expect in a thief's lair."
Or it should read something like:
"Empty, yet trapped! Just the kind of trick you'd expect in a lair of thieves."

And two more random bugs.

First, I manually removed my sword from being equipped in my hands and placed it... [edit: somewhere else... see here] (after hitting the 'X' key, which opens all 3 'player' windows'...). But then, after I went on my way, I noticed that my player avatar still looked like this, even though I was empty-handed!:


My avatar stayed like that until I spoke to the Exotics dealer - after finishing browsing his inventory, my avatar was then correctly displayed as being empty-handed.

And a bad "visual artifact" in Raven's Gate West:


I believe this visual artifact was also present in v1.03, but I can't remember for certain...

When making a char and you choose a weapon class, say swords, your starting equipment should at least have a short sword , if you start as a thief and choose swords then a short sword, a fighter or so forth.

With a magic user should get a mace or dagger

a ranger a bow with arrows.

My roommate is at her wits end when she picks a thief and swords she get a bow and no arrows and the town smith has no sword to buy.

The smith should always have arrows and a least one of each category of weapons to buy in case your weapon breaks so you can buy another one..

Also when your fighting and your weapon is about to break it is hard to look down at the screen and read it.

Have a pop up show up to tell you you have like 3 hits left or so.

Also every 8 days to get new stock is a bit long, you can run out of food before more arrows or what ever shows up.

Maybe allow rangers to make arrows.

Also wolfs should drop meat to eat not just rats.

Just for your, and your roommates' reference, here's the list of Items that you start with, based on your Class-Axiom choices.

At the least, you should, in nearly all cases, start off with a weapon (or an offensive spell) that you are skilled in, so even if you choose some other Weapons Skill like Swords and can't find that weapon-type at first, you should still have some kind of offensive capability.

Good point.

OK, this just happened to me with v1.04, while camping for 7 days at a time (trying to track down a Skill Book in a 'fixed seed' game... don't ask!).

Anyway, here's what happened:

1. Storm (I think it was a thunderstorm) hit overnight.
2. Storm cleared up right around daybreak (i.e. dawn) - but storm sounds persisted when "day" background sounds were supposed to "kick in"(?)...)
3. Storm sounds persisted through the entire daylight hours.
4. Storm sounds went away and were replaced by "night" sounds around start of night (i.e. dusk).

So all of this happened without me "breaking camp/having de-camped" at all.

So the issue may be related to when storm sounds are supposed to end coinciding with the end of "night" background sounds/the beginning of "day" background sounds...

I can confirm that Book II now does this (it happened to me, just like this).

I'm also almost completely certain that this did not happen before - in v1.03, this showed up as just the regular Orakur Book (icon)...

I just had a new one that cost me a whole bunch of money (the massive pile of armor and weapons was for selling). I was in Hammerlorne and camped to get a bag to store stuff in. Stored a bunch, went and got more stuff, went back to the spot where I had stored things and camped while standing directly on top of the first loot bag. When I woke up, the bag had vanished along with the half-ton of stuff I had in it.

Interesting! FWIW, it looks like this is probably present whenever there's a "black" area at the edge of the screen, though on these two I had to bump up the contrast after taking the screenshot to really see them:


Edit: Oh, and since it's possible that it matters, I should mention that this is on Linux (so therefore using OpenGL), and the binary nVidia drivers.

Yep, I reported this one a while back.
The sack may actually still be sitting there, and you're just not able to see it or interact with it. I did some tests where after this bug I found no other sack would drop on the same spot - it seems to be considered already occupied.

Regarding Thieves' Arcadia trap area where you can't get into the corner, the same thing happens for the northeast corner of that room going along the east wall.

OK, I think I maybe get what's going on now.

It turns out, there is a "special key" inside Hammerlorne.

I suspect this key is also supposed to open the door on Level 3 of Hammerlorne (currently, it opens an important door on the "ground" level of Hammerlorne) - but, for some reason, the "special key" doesn't open the door on Level 3, as of right now.

So, by far the easiest thing to do, is just to "fix" things so this "special" Hammerlorne key can open the door on Level 3 of Hammerlorne, as well as opening the door down on the "ground" level...
