    Btw, can't remember if I posted this elsewhere but I fixed the doors issue with sound burst and greatly improved the whole 'drop stuff / pick it back up' script but it is not perfect. But at least critters draw secondary weapons (daggers etc) given the chance, and they only grab up a weapon, not a shield too if they dropped it. So you get some sort of positive outcome. (The annoying thing is they do al that when 'stunned', not on their 'come to their senses' round. Can't seem to change that: stupid game!) Plus you can snatch up the weapons and shields yourself - grab Axer's +2 Falchion and hit him with his own sword! - and I will dare say introduce the 'train pets to snatch up nearby weapons' thing eventually. :)

    Can you train them to snatch weapons BEFORE they are dropped? ;)

    Thus proving the argument :p

    In a word - kinda. The basic script could most definitely be used as the basis of a 'Disarm' move, but we would have no way of introducing into the combat options in the radial menu: it would have to be done via a 'disarming wand' or some similarly corny thing.

    Ditto for 'sunder'. Pity.

    Hey guys,

    I have been trying out the demo, using different PCs and such.

    I started out a game using the mercenaries for the first time. I took on three. Two of them left fairly quickly, but the guy with the spear stayed on for quite awhile. Anyway, I pick up a couple of the NPCs, Korrac and Milo. After adventuring awhile longer I lost my last merc. (he left). So I head back to the Tavern to grab Two Swords. She says she will join up, but instead of her joining up, the merc with the spear is back in my group. I have tested this a few times now and the same thing happens. I have not moved on past this point yet.

    EDIT: The problem is that Two Swords says she will join my party, but she doesn't. The mercanary was there from an earlier save point I was testing out.

    Wait, getting a woman warrior named Two Swords, drunk? So she can join up?? :blink:

    I know, with you being a Guardian Angel and all, you may like to live life a little dangerously, but maybe a re-review of your WIS scores from "Post Your Stats" would be in order?

    With women, I have ALWAYS been unwise, and rarely learn from my mistakes. I even know ahead of time that it's unwise. It seems to be worth it. Just a little painful now and then...:dead:

    I can sympathize. It seems we all do this on occassion. Maybe it's hardwired into us guys.

    I don't think there is any serious doubt about that: look at male spiders... :blink:

    As for the Two Swords issue: I will look into it. Thanks.

    In a video of male and female Preying Mantises copulating, the female turns around and tears the male's head off, resulting in no appreciable change in the male's behavior. 'Nuff said! :thumbsup:

    I did get her drunk first, like i said she clearly states she will join up with the party but she doesn't Her pic doesnt show up on screen and she doesnt move with the party.

    The party I am using was able to recruit her in an earlier game.

    Hmmm... ok, just having a quick look at the files, it would appear Two Swords doesn't distinguish whether your party is full or not and just tries to join up anyway. Heh, that used to cause crashes when Fruella did it, I guess Two Swords is more stable... anyway, is your party full, by any chance? That would explain why she can't.
