I very rarely do it, but sometimes it's very useful to reduce tedium.

Like when you're in Fathamurk and running out of food

I would definitely vote for the more content version !

As for the vegas thing, well I don't even know what that is (I'm sure it's a game), but you should do what you think is best.

I'm perfectly happy waiting.

one more thing, I had a stonebreaker amulet which gives plus to hit, and that was not good enough. so it's a little confusing. you need bonus damage, but bonus fire damage (or cold, poison) doesn't count.

that was it ! Previous characters invariably had a bloodlust ring or a pendant that gives bonus damage too.

enchanted weapon spell definitely works too. naturally it turned up in a shop just AFTER I bought the magickal spiked mace

does it have to be magical damage, i.e. +2 damage ?

I can't for the life of me remember what previous characters had, but I thought it was just fire/cold damage, and not +to hit or +damage.

I'm sure this is a repeat but I couldn't seem to turn up a thread with search.

Thanks

as someone who was having starting trouble I found the following to be immensely useful:

at least a few points of mercantile to start
same for forage
get that weapon skill to 10 as quickly as possible.

being able to buy things and having a weapon feat makes the beginning of the game much more ...

Westwillow is not available in any of the 1.03 versions ?

I guess that means the folks completing the bell quest are using beta 1.04 ?

Won't let me go there.

I thought I found a thread that said it wouldn't be available until 1.04, is that right ?

Haven't seen that 1.04 is available yet.

that's what I figured.

thanks for confirming
.

I've run into a spell limit because of my wisdom.

Is there any way to "drop" spells to make room for new ones.

If there isn't, there should be !

I'd much rather have stonesking rather than leatherskin

well I finally broke through...

forage was the key and a high alchemy. that and a lot of camping. I was able to start enchanting weapon & armor and that helped a lot to survive encounters. plus I got to 10 in sword as soon as possible and that helped too. really a lot of little things. the problem ...

If you're doing a straight melee fighter, it's really going to be tough on you, as you'll take a lot of damage along the way until your skills are high enough

yep. I really wanted to play straight melee out of the gate and it was brutal. I did try to focus on armor and weapons ONLY. The problem ...

I can't seem to get to a point where I'm having any fun

I have to admit the leveling is just about right, except that I always seem to be far enough behind that everything is a grind.

level up: wolves kill me, bonebiters kill me
level up: snow wolves kill me, mire trolls kill me, devil manders ...

There is no walking animation, the character now "glides".
Combat animation is ok, and really, haven't noticed any other problems.

anybody seeing this ?

Here's the solution to my sound issues.

First big round of applause to the Ubuntu forum user Kilz who created this 32-bit library:

I simply downloaded and installed using "dpkg --install"

However I find that I also have to do ...
