I thought about the auto-loot option, too. Lackeys sent in would probably want danger-money; traps would have to be rendered safe and doors unlocked, too - the idea of the possibility of a random encounter is also a good one.
All of which, in the context of a cRPG, means more code, and more things ...

I'm getting off topic here, but just about any cRPG is, intentionally, beyond the realm of belief. At least other media like cinema and books have ellipsis (where boring things like characters going to the lavatory are generally left out) to maintain an illusion of realism, but rpgs suffer in that ...

Of course, enormous weight allowances exist, esp. in cRPGs, to facilitate fun game-play. But surely this could be done another way. It would be reasonable, I think, to expect a hero (so a PC with a certain amount of renown and financial wallop) to afford a supply train. Didn't knights of olde have ...

Annchienta - for a Saturday afternoon with a beer
Because that's all the time it'll take you to play through this quaint, console-like (i.e. FF for the SNES like) RPG. It's easy on the eyes (for having quite a low resolution), has nice music and sounds, a decent plot and is a good afternoon's entertainment.

Legal is as kops don't care. In other words, if aforementioned websites are maintaining download links to software, then it is because they have not been told off for it yet (certainly abandonia and hotu take down links if they even suspect there might be a problem). Yes, the distribution of this ...

Pure mage - done
On my fifth attempt at the game (I play roguelike - I dies, I starts again), without even meaning to. Specialised everything into being a mana-battery:

Specialist or Jack of All Trades? (slightly spoily)
I just finished the game after my fifth shot (I like to play with the rogue-like "if you die, you're dead" restriction - i.e. start over). I personally found that playing really specialised is how to get ahead. I was wondering how everyone else felt?
