The Drunken Lizard Pub

Heh. GOG.com has been getting lots of my money these past few months, as I try to sate my growing craving for old-style RPGs while impatiently waiting for Book 2...

I keep shaking my head at this topic. I just can't imagine WANTING to beta-test. What I want is the final, polished game, to enjoy at my leisure. *NOT* to hammer through, looking for bugs/issues, trying the same thing ten different ways to see what works or not. Talk about spoiling the final product...

Bought the collector's edition of Dragon Age (and a couple of add-ons) for the Playstation 3, in a fit of over-confidence in how much I would love the game. I didn't. Mostly, I think it was the platform. Turns out that game controllers are the wrong tool for a complex RPG -- I want my mouse & ke...

I bought the Might & Magic 6-pack on Good Old Games (http://gog.com) a month ago, specifically to sate my appetite for RPGs while waiting for Eschalon Book II. I had somehow managed never to play these before, and so far, they're alot of fun! I'm about 90% of the way through "Worlds of Xeen...

>> Will Attributes & Skills be control-clickable from the character's Stats screen (yielding the descriptions) in the same way that spells are control-clickable in the Spell Journal window? > Ummm, no...not yet. If that would be a helpful feature, I could certainly add it to the ToDo list. As a ...

Total and utter nit -- but if you find time to correct the spelling of "atheistic" (see third screenshot on book 2 page), it would be appreciated. [Yeah, that's one of those pain-in-the-ass, "violates I-before-E rule" words...] :) And yeah, my handle probably explains why I care....

Contrary to popular opinion, dark red on dark blue does NOT a readable color-combination make... (i.e. See the questions in the FAQ.)

Otherwise, well done!

What Daemian Lucifer said.

The Destroyer battle is *MUCH* more fun (and challenging) than Boss Goblin.

THAT is what the final battle SHOULD be like...

My end-of-game thoughts for BW and other interested parties: Eschalon is LOTS of fun! I played the first time through as a fighter, who added divination, elemental and alchemy fairly late in the game, and only started really using them by the endgame. I've already started the game again, this time a...

Thanks for the help, BW! I have now achieved all three endings (including Destroyer -- will post screenshot to the appropriate thread shortly). It dawned on me that during the battle where I killed the Vela warlord, there were SEVERAL goblins dropping bags all in the same tight area. Is it possible ...

It's the yellow key that I'm missing -- is that supposed to be the Vela warlord? I've searched the area, "feeling behind the walls", but I haven't found anything yet. I'm pretty sure I killed the warlord out in the open, anyway. I would never have dropped the key, or stashed it in a barrel...

The Vela goblin warlord didn't cough up a yellow key for me either -- this is starting to sound like a real bug...

Anyone know how to fix this? I have cleared all the maps and am ready to take on the goblin stronghold...

Old school, people, old school!

Some of us LIKE being able to see over walls to know which rooms have the treasures, monsters, etc...

It's probably too late to add as a patch for Book I -- but there's one minor annoyance that seems like it ought to be easily fixable, and that has to do with shields. When you have a lit torch, you can still equip a two-handed weapon. If you go to actually attack with it, the torch goes out, since y...

But I *LIKE* the reload-and-try-again random treasure feature! My only complaint is that you didn't put a Quickload key next to the Quicksave key, to make it even easier... :) I think of it as being the same as rolling your character stats at the start of the game -- if the player is WILLING to be p...
