Circle of Eight Modpack 5.9.x/5.9.xNC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

It seems that the ending where you join forces with Zuggtmoy is broken in 5.9.3 NC. After I fought her to near death, she stopped fighting, but her summoned monsters were still hostile. I don't remember how it was in the last version - whether there is an auto-triggered dialogue or not, but it's not there in this version. After defeating the summoned monsters, if I talk to Zuggtmoy, she starts the old woman's dialogue - about the orb and the column. The only option is to kill her.

 

Can the changes in the spells, like Entangle working only outdoors, be noted in the spell descriptions?

 

Apologize earlier for my dumb question. I've found that after i reinstall if i use the tfe-x-repair.exe that it works fine. So that might help other people

 

Just a note on the Drow upgrades. I like them - they're pretty fiesty now and put up a decent fight compared to previously being road kill. Again, another job well done.

 

Just read Sirchet's update on McAfee.
Damn that probably means you have to get them to ok any upgrade.
Is there anyway to delete the nocd patch from the mod before installing it?
I mean that I can ...

 

The first thing I do when I buy a new computer is DUMP the McAfee. I then download a free anti-virus and dump it the instant it interacts with anything I'm trying to do. From what I've seen, the anti-virus is consistently worse than the virus.

 

Just completed 5.9.3 Must say the ghost story was very cool. Loved the ending outside. Chills. Excellent work.

 

Oakheart,

Just bought myself the castle and get the ghost showing up if I try to sleep there. Weapons and magic seem to nothing against it.

How does the plot progress from there - what's the nest step?

thanks.

 

Took the Thaddeaus assassination quest from Hextor and went to check it out. Ouch!! I'm level 10 and got wiped out half way in. looks like something on level with the Slavers battle.

 

Also having some trouble getting Darlia to talk to me. I get to level 3 and he tells me to mind my own business. I'd appreciate some advice on dealing with him other than slaughtering the brotherhood. Thanks.

 

Hiya Flak. They don't allow spoilers in the forums, but I can most likely say this:

Ghosts are usually around only at night...

How do you know there is only one ghost?

Is the whole castle haunted, or just one room?

Ghosts can't be permanently destroyed, they have to be put to rest. Secretly
a ghost WANTS to rest, so it wants to let you know what needs to be done.

You might notice that the ghost is not hurting you either, so you may as well
just keep trying to get some sleep.
