Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

I think it adds greatly to the immersion factor that Ronald will let you buy his gear after you get to know him better and of course promise to get him better stuff.

 

I just finished the "Zealotry" quest.
I intimidated the brewmasters apprentice to pay his dues the next day - however Cavanaugh in my game remains in the brewery and I can´t find him as a beggar before the inn to have him join me. Has something been changed in that quest or did I somehow botch it?

 

In my current game I have obtained the masterwork shortsword from Mathels chest and the magic shortsword from the traders. However the magic one has no item description (when you click on the item in the inventory) Is that an error as the masterwork shortsword DOES have a description?

 

Have you identified the magic shorts word, or is it still named Trader's Magic Short Sword?

An unidentified item shouldn't have a description.

 

I haven´t identified it yet. So an unidentified magic weapon has no description? I expected an unidentified e.g. shortsword to have the same description as a masterwork shortsword...?

Another equipment question:
The rogues "Thieves tools" go into the lower right equipment slot when right-clicked.
Is there a way to get the scholar´s kit or healers kit there too, to get another free inventory slot? Or is that lower right equipment slot only made for thieves tools?

 

I seem to have more problems with beggars in my game.

A few gamedays after I finished the Zealotry quest I still have no brewmasters apprentice standing as a beggar before the Inn.

I do have however Otello as beggar before the inn because I found out he stole from the Farmer. When talking to him I hit the option to give him 100 gold before considering how much I had and after that I had -2 Platinum pieces in my inventory... Does that option not take into consideration how much gold the party actually has?

 

An unidentified object has a description, but it is rather vague, like merchants magic sword or such, you also don't get the benefits of the enchantment until it's identified.

About the scholar's tool kit and such; I believe you get the pluses just from having it in your inventory, like ion stones and such.

 

I have found magic weapons & armor,rings of protection,cloaks of resitance,elvenkind stuff,and any ability raiseing stuff.Do not have to be identified to work.Any item with a ability used with the radial menu has to be identifyed to use.Everything except the fungus & lamia figureines should be identified before selling.I guess it would be "cool" if theyre was some cursed item's that gave a (-#) to att.,def.,or abbilities.Just to keep people on thier toe's.(Not unlike the poison potions that look like healing potions you run acrossed from time to time.)One of my favorate campanes running.Was when the parties mage gave an unidentified cursed beserking sword to the fighter,and he rolled a 1 to save agenced it.

 

Are you saying you have equipped an unidentified item like the merchants magic sword and received the plus to hit and damage from looking at the rolls window?

If this is the case, that could be very cool. Of course it WOULD be an exploit of the game engine.

 

I just returned to Terjon with the stuff from under the stone and gave him his fathers gift.
However his fathers letter remained in my inventory. Shouldn´t that be given to him too when returning that necklace?

 

After finishing Terjons Artifact quest suddenly Cavanaugh joined Otello as beggar before the Inn after much more time than just "paying his debt the next morning".

 

No, Terjon doesn't take the note. I usually stuff it on the bookshelf upstairs in the church after completing that quest.

 

In my current game I travelled to the Moathouse and tried to use the "Track" ability of my Ranger to see what creatures might be around.

I could chose between tracking Elmo (whom I hired) or "the Moathouse description box" showing the picture of a head looking like a helmet with a blue T on it. After reloading the same happened.

 

I've just "completed" a solo run of ToEE. That is until I reached level 20 and killed Zuggy. After that it became boring because of the xp gain and nothing to level up to.

I did ran into some problems with spell permenancy. I went for help with Jaroo, but as soon as he killed me, the game ended with the death slide screen. I was lucky it was a spell of bulls strenght that kept chasing me, so I did not let Jaroo help me and kept playing.

I did not do the slavers quest, but there is always a character killed during the dialog, how does that go when you are alone?

In a few dialogs the Npc did not know I was alone and the answers I could give all started with We or My party...

I really enjoyed feats like Great cleave, standing in the middle of a pile of killed bugbears... :rock:
