Things I've Never Done in Book I (At Least, Not Yet!)

Post by IJBall »

OK, so here's a list of things I've never done in Book I:
  • I've never used Unarmed Combat, ever! (not even for my Mage!)
  • I've never used Bludgeoning Weapons (certainly not in any meaningful way!)
  • I've never really used Thrown Weapons (ditto)
  • I've never used Demon Oil strategically; and outside of the Incinerator Fuel, I've never really used Demon Oil much as a weapon either.
  • I've never taken Short Bladed Weapons beyond Level 3.
  • I've never used a character unskilled in either Light or Heavy Armor (surprisingly, a number of people around here seem to go unskilled in Armor!).
  • I've never gone to Level 20 Alchemy just so I could make the Invisibility III potion.
  • I've never not used the Easter Eggs (at least, not since I've known they were out there).
  • I've never allowed myself to get diseased, esp. off a corpse, unless I had the Cure Disease potion (IOW, I would reroll!).
  • I've never allowed myself to get cursed, unless I was a Healer with the Dehex spell (IOW, I would reroll!)
  • I have never paid for Healing, Curing or Decursing services, ever
  • I've never 'bashed' in a door (and I've rarely bashed chests - now sealed barrels are another issue! :wink: )
  • I've never used the Dancing Lights spell, ever! (In fact, I've never even seen what it looks like!)
  • I've basically never used the Sonic Blast spell either
  • I've never not done the oldest tree/Purest Water quest in every game I've played
  • I've never taken the rogue's quest to assassinate Lilith (Don't get me wrong – I have killed Lilith before, just to get her key, but I've never killed her as a part of that quest!)
  • I've never killed Oswalt (of the Commonwealth Guard) in Grimmhold East, nor my "brother" in Vela, before I've talked to them
  • I've never killed, or even threatened, Gruzz the Goblin
  • I've never killed all the friendly NPCs in the game; in fact, I've pretty much never killed a friendly NPC in the game (aside from Lilith) - not even Father Michael!!
  • I've never ridden in a boat! :( :wink:
  • And the #1 thing I've never done!...
    I've never managed to get up to that strip of land N of the boater, Phillip, in Bordertown! And I'm dying the get up there!
    Nor have I gotten past the gate in Darkford!!
    Nor have I gone south of the Goblin Citiadel!!
    Nor have I ever gotten out of the Holding Cell in the Underground Repository!!
    And, no matter what I do, I can't do any of these things!!! :cry:
So, what haven't you ever done in Book I?... :mrgreen:

Well (Using your list as a template):
  • I've never used Bludgeoning Weapons (certainly not in any meaningful way!)
  • I've never really used Thrown Weapons (ditto)
  • I've never used a character unskilled in either Light or Heavy Armor.
  • I've never gone to Level 20 Alchemy just so I could make the Invisibility III potion.
  • I've never not used the Easter Eggs.
  • I've never used the Dancing Lights spell.
  • I never used sonic blast after the first two or three tries.
  • I've never not done the oldest tree/Purest Water quest in every game I've played
  • I've never killed Oswalt (of the Commonwealth Guard) in Grimmhold East, nor my "brother" in Vela, before I've talked to them, nor Gramuk for that matter.
  • I've never killed Gruzz the Goblin
  • I've never killed ALL the friendly NPCs in the game. I HAVE killed, Father Michael, Lilith, Captain Morgan, All the guards (sans the one in Darkford), all the giants, and a couple other NPCs that were in the wrong place at the wrong time... but that's about it :mrgreen:
  • I've never ridden in a boat! :( :wink: :|
  • I've never managed to get up to that strip of land North of the boater, Phillip, in Bordertown, nor have I gotten past the gate in Darkford, nor have I gone south of the Goblin Citiadel. I have escaped from the repository holding cell, though, after punching to death two floating eyeballs. :mrgreen:
  • I've never beaten the game with a max HP under 23. But I am planning to change that soon.
And I've only just recently used lockmelt (ever), trapkill (ever), and reveal map (on a regular basis).

  • I've never reached higher than level 14, and man have I tried. Not even with the easter eggs, placing the stone and reaching destroyer.
  • I've never played a fighter, and I probably never will in Book 1
  • I have never visited the lighthouse, but I will reload an old savegame to do so
  • I never took tier 3 divine spells, even not with my destroyer healer
  • I never took the cartography skill higher than level 1
  • I never, ever killed an NPC
