You can keep playing after killing Garzahd. (You can also keep playing (and get a victory message) after finding the exit to the surface, if you choose not to use it.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Your opinion doesn't mean much when the core game itself directly contradicts you. If I may use an analogy to backgammon, completing one objective is like winning a game, completing two is like winning a gammon, and completing three is like winning a backgammon. They're all forms of winning, even when one is "better" than the others.

As I've already said in both topics, achieving each of the three main objectives in E1 or E2 gives you a message that explicitly states you've found "one of the ways to win" the game. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Everything is someone's opinion. The problem is that your opinion is ignorant, and by stating it you're demonstrating that you're an ill-informed busybody who's very possibly spoiling for a fight despite your protestations to the contrary. You only have a right to an opinion as long as that opinion isn't blatantly and invincibly wrong. EDIT: Maybe if you had invested one-third of your life into this community, you would be taking it seriously too.

To be more explicit: quote:If you want to put quotation marks in a message_dialog call, you have to use underscores. So instead of "You have been cleansed. You may pass." it should read _You have been cleansed. You may pass._ -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Yeah, the most logical possibility is that you were either dumbfounded or out of spell points when you tried. If you're sure that's not the case, maybe Jonah did get corrupted somehow; use BoE and the character editor to make him from scratch. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

It's most likely, though, that your computer is just plain too new to run the early Exiles properly. Sorry. If you're running Windows ME, just give up right now.

Uh, no. What happens when you try to cast spells outside of combat mode? Is your spell list completely devoid of castable spells, or can't you even get to the spell list at all? -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Djur happens to be quite close to completing Pygmalion, a scenario-based RPG design application (the graphics are tile-based rather than isometric, but the engine is apparently going to be significantly more powerful than both BoE and BoA). Not many other people have done this because it's a hell of a lot of work; Djur's been working on it for close to 5 years now. There are freeware game design tools already out there, though. Unfortunately, many of them are either very complex to learn and use, or not very good for various reasons.

1) You have to complete the quest for the Crystal Sword. Speak to Nicias in Xancrest. Diomed's a good NPC, and you can't ever get him once the first town falls (around day 8), so don't waste any time getting him. 4) See #1. Also, you get a Runesword for rescuing Raven. It's probably the best artifact you can get, if you use it properly. 5) Wander around in the forest SE of Fort Contemplation. Make sure your reputation is high so you can get an NPC there.

Question 13: This is a matter of opinion. Some people like Jackson Pollock. :P Question 22: In Rubacus, the party is like Rocky Balboa; they go around hitting stuff. There. Now I know I have the correct answer. :P [ Sunday, October 31, 2004 20:01: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
