Dan Z Apprentice Member # 5358	written Thursday, January 6 2005 13:45 Profile #0 I've been playing for a while now, and one thing that's always bothered me is how much I'm getting lost. I'm getting lost trying to get from quadrant to quadrant, and even within dungeons, because the "overhead" map doesn't fit on one page and scrolls as the party is moving around. The quadrant (outdoors) maps are worse, because they don't scroll as you move but as you reach boundaries, and then the map jumps all of a sudden. That really, really sucks. Does anyone have any maps, or any way to extract them from the game itself? Wouldn't it be better to have a map we could all look at then to constantly have these discussions that go something like: "... and then go left a little ways, and then up, and then down, and then forward, but not all the way, just part of the way, and somewhere around there is a hidden passage, and then..." That's not much better than: "... and then poke around for a few hours and try running into every wall and eventually you'll find it." Heeeeeeeeeelp, there has to be a better way!

The hint book for Nethergate does contain elaborate maps, though, if you feel like spending ten bucks. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

But now that you mention the hint book, I know why there are no maps posted anywhere. Man's gotta make a living... Posts: 5 | Registered: Tuesday, January 4 2005 08:00
