    Oooh...the detail of the bones! :clap:

    I always wondered why in the original map, the Troika team never put anything in that place...y'now, with that sword, the spear, and all...


    I jumped on my chair when running thru the place where horses drink (dunno the word)...btw, do the gate guard says that stables are on the LEFT?

    Eye candy alert!

    How cool is the tower itself, the outside screen is freakin great. I recognize the interior of the tower, but the exterior I can't remember seeing anywhere in TOEE. Is this something Co8 created, or was it another "not used" part of TOEE?

    I had a random encounter with a group of bandits, and everyone of them had custom portraits, and armor...excellent!

    I had a random encounter with a ranger named Aereon, he offered to mark my map, but I think everything was already marked. Very good idea, kind of a "just in case you missed something" type helper.

    Yeah he probably should mark something on your map. Maybe the graveyard, for folks who miss it.

    The Tower is Burne's, after flipping horizontally and a lot of photoshopping to give it a run-down look.

    Did that myself I did :mrhappy:

    Whoa...the gems on the empty log...that's a treasure! And with a nice, useful weapon too! :dribble:

    Btw, did somebody noticed the sign of Lloth, in the lizardmen swamp? I suppose that's from ToEE, but still, it have a lot of sense in KotB :)

    The sign of Lolth? :blink: errrr? Could we get a screenshot?

    Nobody has mentioned the song lyrics! The dialogues are full of lines from songs (or movies).

    Well, i don't know if i'm seeing things, but all the drow miniatures of D&D have that symbol (which it's indeed Lloth's symbol)

    In ToEE could be found in the Moathouse swamp.

    This would be a movie? :icon_chuc

    Wow... that could actually be deliberate outside the Moathouse, since it's where Lareth was...

    Oh... just wondering... who decided to use greenglish (modern greek written with latin alphabet) for the Great Kingdom merchants in the second floor of the guildhouse?

    Its kind of funny when you know greek, to find it attributed to the Great Kingdom... counter-intuitive to me, but fun, nonetheless!

    And very cool clothes they sell, very cool... the red vest is quite amazing!
