...I don't remember Rakeesh even BEING in the training room.

First, make sure you have mana. Then, back away. Flame Dart and Force Bolt only seem to cast when you have at least one extra space between you and the enemy. Also, the enemy can move in and attack you while you're casting, interrupting the spell.

Not for instant travel, but you can at least use it as a reference for navigating. THANK YOU, all creators of this game for making that modification. It was so very easy to get lost in there before.

However, in the original time would still pass when you travel some distance via the city map. It probably wouldn't be noticable for a single trip, but in the case I used as an example I was traveling to all corners of the city back and forth several times, and also going out into the desert and vis...

Time can still move... if I go sleep until evening in the inn, evening does come. Not sure what exactly you mean by time freeze, though...

Time seems to run rather slowly, much more so than I remember in the original. To give an example from just now, I woke up on day 12, was informed of the earth elemental, went to the adventurers guild and talked to Rakeesh, went to the Astrologer, went to Aziza, went back to the area of the adventur...

Is there a timer on spells or something? I'm playing as a magic user, and I find the keys horribly unresponsive. I hit to cast, and just get torn into while my mage sits there doing nothing. I literally can't beat a single battle. Back off. The offensive spells only seem to cast when you're at leas...

Now THAT makes it worthwhile.

I am on day six or seven or some such. I've been trying to build up my strength (VERY boring, roaming from one end of the desert to another looking for fights) because I know I need to beat Issur at arm wrestling and right now I can't do it. This sort of thing is the reason I'd always cheat before. ...

"I want to be a wizard"

Oasis is three screens to the right, five screens down from the overlook of the city. The guard outside the gate gives you directions.

All I can think is make sure you're spelling your character's name properly.

Use the mouth on yourself when you're next to the vendor you want to buy from, and it's one of the options. A lot of people tend to forget to do this in the later games, which this is emulating. You miss dialogue sometimes by not doing that also.

Meh. People post too fast for me.

The story was always my interest. I've always considered the QFG games to be adventure/RPG hybrids, and the adventure side of things was what I was playing for. I don't really like having to grind my stats up high enough to do what I KNOW I have to do, so come QFG2 I'd always cheat to bump my stats ...

Currently working on the stats for mine. Since I can't cheat the way I always have before when playing QFG2, I'd best get the stats up to max in QFG1, else I'll be in trouble.

Seriously, go hang out with your friends. You'll still be able to get the game later, better to do now the thing that you CAN'T do later.

I guess I'll have to play characters through legitimately without cheating.

...Actually, I don't think I've ever done that. Ever.

At the moment I'm playing QFG1 to pass the time.

didnt you guys see it said august 24th maybe august 24th 2009 ????

Now THAT would cause an uprising.

Eric! Haven't seen you since the good ol' days before the official Sierra forums started to suck. Awesome to see you online again. :) Did sierra have a good presence on the web during the good old days? I thought that they never did... Because I remember checking for Sierra on the internet, back wh...

Eric! Haven't seen you since the good ol' days before the official Sierra forums started to suck. Awesome to see you online again. :) Hey there, Rav. I tend to frequent completely different sections of the internet these days, so it's probably not too surprising that I don't run into people I used ...

Indeed it has been. I wasn't sure you'd remember me, but I figured I'd use my old name for the sake of tradition.
