Re: What's your combat key layout?

Instead of WASD, I I use ESDF, I created back in the DOOM 1 days, long before people started to use WASD, and I've stuck with it, because since my pointer finger is on the "F" key, the little tab in it reminds me my hand is correct. E=Forward D= Backward S=Left F=Right 9=Slash 0=Stab R=Raz...

Re: Concerning QfG1VGA imports

You are both right. In QFG1VGA, you have to throw as many daggers as you can, then use the hand icon on the ground, this retrieves your daggers before combat. If you engage in combat before, then you loose them. Because of this, I just carry rocks and hurrle them before combat. The same goes with dr...

Erpy: Yes. I'm going to sell the original floppies, plus box + manuals, but include a burned copy of the floppies onto CD. Then again, it may be easier to just not burn it, if someone wants it they more than likely want it as a collection or can find an old machine to extract the data. MusicallyInsp...

The dazzle spell also has a spell duration where it wears off after a while (dependent on the spell skill), but in addition to that attacking said monster causes them to advance again towards you. But unlike calm, dazzle can be casted multiple times. (truth be told, I already think it's one bloody ...

-There seems to be a few bugs when calming/dazzling multiple jackalmen when they are chasing you in the open desert. For example, I made it so 3 of them were chasing me. I immediately cast Dazzle so that they froze in a formation where all 3 jackals were arranged standing neatly in a single-file ro...

There's no way to 'adjust' your hero's profession after importing, but I don't think it'll be necessary anyhow. When the .sav file gets imported, it looks at the character's base class, so his stats don't factor into it. Hybrid characters will still be imported as their base character class. I'm go...

It *would* be really nice of have an option where the fighter wouldn't equip his shield.  Ie, he wouldn't drop it, just leave it strapped to his back to let his left hand free to cast.  I always thought it was a cool idea to need 1 hand free for magic. The other idea, being able to buy a sword as a ...

Anyone here who has imported characters from: QG1->QG2->QG3->QG4-QG5 knows that your character is really rocked.  You can defeat almost any monster, you don't have to buy spells since you already know most of them, and your skills are very high. The only realistic way, is to have a new hero *or* hav...

Loose your daggers?  Hmm, I remember in QFG2EGA, I could throw a dagger, run around, and if I came back to the same screen, I could STILL get my dagger.  Same for dropping it.  Will it be the same way as before, or do I just need to get my daggers before I leave?

If this doesn't work, you should be able to get a used computer with a ~500MHz CPU for about $50 - maybe less or even free, if you are lucky.
