Re: General Quest for Glory discussions

The Uhura initiation thing I never actually found (while creating the point list at least). It was in some point lists but I could never do it. So I left it off. As for the Fighter/Paladin thing, I had a better point list somewhere. Unfortunately a search of my computers has found no QfG point lists...

Re: Becoming paladin

Thieves cannot deal with Khaveen peacefully if they take the harem route. So do they lose those paladin points? The way it worked in the original is that the thief's points still go up to 500 if he becomes a paladin, and the paladin points make up for what the thief couldn't do (stealing and such)....

Re: General Quest for Glory discussions

I don't usually resurrect old topics, but I was pointed to this through a PM. Anyway, as far as I know, you can't beat Yesufu. And I tried. A lot. Everything I could think of. I played QfG3 over and over and over with the sole purpose of finding the extra few points to get 500 for the different char...

Re: Very Bad Bug: I'm a frayed knot

Yeah, it's not complicated, just extremely difficult :p Anyway, I seem to have run into another bug in said fight. I tried running from battle when it picked me up and started pummeling me (as it likes to do) and after I got put down the game stopped responding. I'm standing in front of it unable to...

Re: Very Bad Bug: I'm a frayed knot

Yeah, I kinda worked out where to climb. I always tried it in the original hoping it would work. I'm glad it finally does. The rope thing was more just to see if it would run out. I can't believe I've been playing this game for days (almost non-stop <_< ) and I'm still only on like Day 8. At least m...

Very Bad Bug: I'm a frayed knot

I was trying to improve my climbing skill using the rope (hoping that the new improved rope wouldn't run out... I hope you guys put somewhere else to climb in the game). Anyway, it stopped working after 50 or so times and I got the "I'm a frayed knot" message, which is fine. The problem is...

Re: Possible Bug: Swing not draining stamina

On closer observation the stamina is going up slower, so swing is probably draining it slightly. But you are still getting more than you are using. Not sure if you want it that way or not (at the moment thrust uses more stamina if you are missing the opponent than swing does)

Possible Bug: Swing not draining stamina

I was just practicing with Uhura to get my weapon use up, and after a few times thought I might as well try just holding down the attack button to get it up faster. I tried thrust (9) first, and it worked fine. Then I tried swing (7). I noticed while holding it down that my stamina was increasing (a...

I've deleted the save games already, sorry. I'm not sure it would freeze there again anyway. I only did it the once. I tried replicating it then and it didn't freeze. Getting thrown out doesn't even seem to affect my health

Re: Froze after Issur kicked me out (Thief sign)

According to the readme file it is version 1.1. And yeah, I knew I had no stamina, I just didn't expect to lose all my health from sneaking while it was still mid-morning on the first day. I guess I'll need to start again (since health pills tend to cost too much). My first few hours in Shapeir: - G...

Froze after Issur kicked me out (Thief sign)

Hi. Great to see the game finished at last. Anyway, I was wandering around Shapeir and went into the weapons shop, showed Issur the thief sign and he kicked me out. The screen changed to the plaza outside his shop, and has frozen there. I look like I'm starting to fall over, but it isn't doing anyth...

Ultima is the closest thing I can think of. It plays differently, but it is an adventure game more than an RPG. Stats hardly even matter in Ultima (I finished my first Ultima without increasing any of my stats at all... mainly 'cause I didn't know how). And the absolute closest I can think of would ...

And that wasn't including sound editors, composers, voice actors, etc. It would be very hard to get away with one for under 1 million, and that's for a very basic one.

I remember when QfG5 came out it had the longest credits I had ever seen.
