Can I continue my game from the demo?

Post by Average Joe »

Or do I have to start over?

I'm enjoying the demo, but if I have to start over, then I'd rather just purchase the full game now.

Indeed - you can continue a game from the demo. You might want to start a new character anyway, though - I know it took me forever to figure out how I wanted to spend my skill and ability points.

Hello,

This is a good old RPG game as we like them.

I've a same question as Average Joe, but me I made a Steam's démo, and if I purchase the game directly to basilisk, is there a probleme ? my saves will be compatible ?

Thanks.

And sorry for my "language" :mrgreen:

Garvey,

The saves from the Steam version of the demo should be compatible, but you may need to move the files as I think Steam uses a different name for the save directory (not certain of this--I've never used Steam, but I seem to remember some folks had some issues that directory names used in the manual didn't match their Steam-bought versions).

Thanks,

In fact, the directory of my saves are in my docs and is named "\Eschalon Book 1 Saved Games\",

so I think that it will be ok whith the Basilik version.


If it does not work, I shall begin again since the beginning :wink:

Great. Sometimes starting back at the beginning after the demo is a good thing, anyway, as you may have learned a bit about how to make a better character.
