Circle of Eight Modpack v6 / v6 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

I was doing 6.1, with XP, Gog and no console. The Scorpp encounter got to a point to attack but didn't trigger. Had to restart like 4 times and gave up. Click on attack and the screen just blinked. I tried all the dialogue options.

The Thrommel reward didn't go as all the knights/retainers where in the dark area so no dialouge triggered. I have a suspicion that the swamp lotus triggered also because I got a botch on the quest.

 

The part where he calls the wolf and in the dialogue box it says 'attack', click but nothing happens. One time the wolf was already dead, but never got the fight completed. I'm on a new game so i'll try it again.

 

Thanks again for a new patch.
Did I understand the description on 6.1 right, that there is no new content compared to
6.0.1, "only" better game play and bug fixes?

Refering to the too much money problem. I remember AD&D Sessions where our game master relieved us of our gold by having a Ghoul drained lots of levels from our characters. These lost levels we could only restore by costly visits to a high class cleric.
In that way we stayed hungry to loot and be rewarded for a difficult battle, which is I think a very important aspect of all fantasy games and although I had rather too much money, I was sometimes mildly disapointed in 6.0.1 about the reward (loot) after some battles.

About difficulty in the game in general. Although I assume that this solution has been discussed earlier someone might have the patience to answer this nevertheless. Would it be possible to ad a difficult Level that the player can choose fron anytime, like in Baldurs Gate. So that in a say 'Nightmare' Level all monster make 50 % more damage, have better saving throws etc.

 

I'm not sure if this is a known bug, but I'm having difficulty crafting properly. Specifically, if I have one character enchant a weapon/armour and pass it to another character with the feat, then those items seem to lose their properties if I try to craft with the second character. When I transfer the items back, two seemed to revert to the proper stats while the third didn't. They were:

Dwarven Plate enchanted to +3 with SR
Cleaver, enchanted from MW by me, +3, holy, flaming burst

And the one which didn't revert was the Silver Sword of Chaos--I enchanted up to +3 and added holy, flaming burst. It fell back to +1 and holy.

Is this a crafting bug? Is there anything I can do to "lock" properties to allow this behaviour or is it not possible? Also, is it just a bad idea to try to enchant things like the SSoC?

Thanks!

 

Is there a console fix for the ghost quest? I am using 6.0 NC and I go to the tower top floor at night, end up in a fight with the ghost, it disappears, then nada...looks like I hit a bug or some type of corruption in my game.

Also, about 90% of my summoned or charmed creatures just sit there and don't do anything....they was working fine early on then about mid way through they started to act weird. Any console fix for that?

 

Is it possible that the crafter looking at the item isn't able to "see" the enhancements that they are not able to add themselves, although they are still present, and you still get charged EP and gold as if they were there already when adding more enhancements? Although that might not apply to the Silver Sword. That could be a bug with the sword, or human error? I have sometimes made mistakes crafting, and then realized I didn't click all the correct buttons.

 

If someone would be kind enough to PM me the ghost hint. I saw the hint posted before in the spoiler but didn't work at all.

 

Hi,

Fixed."

Is it really fixed?

I´m playing with 6.0.1 NC .

Ciao!

Edit: Ok. I have seen a 6.1.0 NC available. Thank you!

 

All prisoners flee in 6.1.0,, well maybe not the two dumb orcs.

 

Hello!

Rannos is thin in the Nulb ambush. Before he was very fat.

I want to know the name of his diet.

Bye!

 

It's the "scared crapless by the protagonist" diet.

 

Hi Styx, I pm-ed you regarding the ghost.

Also, I had the same problem with Fatty Trader going on a massive diet, such that his portrait and his actual figure contradicted, during the Nulb House ambush. =p
