Run winsetup.exe in the game's folder (in Windows 7, I just used the Start Menu, and went to All Programs -> Himalaya Studios -> Mage's Initiation Demo -> Settings Menu. Doing this launches winsetup.exe). Change the graphics filter to "none". This should set the resolution to 640x480.

Thanks! Edited. Hey, better late than never.

That is a pretty famous bug, that can happen even with imported QFG2EGA Paladins. Isn't the Wizard intro shown whenever your Intelligence is very high? Something like that?

Thanks! I'll try to use a spell against Walid during my next playthrough, just to see what he says.

Wait. A Fighter can cast spells if he doesn't have a shield? Does that mean you can use spells against Walid, Rakeesh, and Khaveen?

Well, maybe wdatlantis kept casting Detect Magic at every dead end.

Glad you like it! And yeah, the only thing I liked about the non-paladin Fighter [in the third, fourth, and fifth games] is that he actually got points for taking out the Guardian Necrotaurs in QFG4. :p A slight update... Sweeping Sir James Max HP : 90 (Magic User, Thief, Fighter) or 180 (Hybrid) De...

That must be what happens when you throw things at the defeated Pizza Elemental.

Looks like we only have one major Easter Egg left.

Oh, sorry. I thought having 0 SP against ghouls killed you in the EGA version - I believe I read it somewhere a long time ago, so I could very well be mistaken. I've finished a quick playthrough as a Thief - combat is definetely harder, IMHO. Very enjoyable, though. And I love the rope minigames (I ...

Thanks Erpy! I did try a few actions, but obviously not enough. *goes back to trying* Say, by the way, there might be a very minor bug in the Ghoul battle - having your stamina at 0 does not actually kill you, it's just that you get a different death message if your Stamina Points are at 0 when the ...

Hmm. I've tried being bloodthirsty (attack, kill, murder, destroy, obliterate...), being very rude (burp, drool, spit...), being very coarse (insert censored expletives there), and being a pervert (again, censored because these boards aren't NC-17). Either I'm very close or I'm missing some kind of ...

Merv battle - I agree, Zap is usually more effective. And the griffin is really good at blocking spells when he's on the ground. Aziza's AI - whoa, I didn't think it could have been that difficult to make. Shows how little I know about AIs. But it's true that the game is much more complicated than i...

Okay, I've been playing with the Magic User... Ridiculously weak at first, ridiculously powerful with maxed stats. Both wizard minigames are a lot of fun to play (and they're also very difficult, IMHO, especially Aziza's). I'm sure scripting Keapon's AI took quite a bit of time. :p I've noticed two ...

Unfortunately, I didn't save the game right before beating him, but I do have a save game that I made in the Fountain Plaza, a few minutes before I stumbled upon that bug. I'll see if I can replicate it. ;) EDIT : Well, I actually managed to do it! Here's the save file. Made in Shmali Tarik with a M...

Hmm. After defeating the alleyway brigand 4 times, I met him a fifth time in Shmali Tarik (he was using his hybrid abilities again), and when I looked at him after beating him, the game said "you've mopped the floor with Sweeping Sir James". Did anyone find this before?

Happy birthday, beloved admin!

Thank you so much! I did do a quick forum search, but obviously it was too quick. (Hey, I didn't believe the Waffle Walker existed until I actually saw the video on Youtube. ;) ) EDIT : Hmm, So Raseir is to the east. I thought the map in my QFGAnthology manual was somewhat confusing whenever I looke...

(without taking the caravan...) (I posted this in a previous easter egg thread, but didn't get a reply.) Is it possible? Even in the original game, I mean. I could have sworn I did it once, but I can't figure out how to do it again. Questformoreglory.com says it's possible, but I'm starting to wonde...

You guys are absolutely awesome. Now wonder QFG2VGA took so long to be released.

*adds to my to-do list*

Well, err, thanks. I feel immensely stupid. I thought it would be some kind of super-attack that could only be triggered after parrying and that would allow you to hit multiple enemies at once, or something like that. I can have a wild imagination at times.

Whoops. Has it been that long since my last post? Yes, yes it has. Apologies for not replying, AGD2, I've been super-busy as usual (that, and the fact that joining a dozen gaming communities is not that good for one's free time). Anyway, thanks for your hint, hopefully I'll be able to replay the lat...

Yeah, the cannonball strike is seriously hax against Khaveen. It's really all you need; quad-slashes are just extra pain. You just need to start jamming on the "special" key repeatedly when you see Khaveen leave his feet for a side-slash, skull-splitter, or leaping lunge (the guy loves to...

Thanks for the clarifications, Erpy. Looks like we used the same technique to increase our luck. I love beating Uhura with nothing but backflips. ;) I didn't know the Focus spell could severely damage the Ghoul's HP. I'll pay more attention next time. As for that defensive action, I guess I haven't ...

Thanks everyone! :D AGD2 - I didn't list the Kick, if that's what you mean, but I did mention it while describing the Jackalmen and Palace Guards battles. I'm not sure what I could have missed regarding the alley brigand. I guess I'll have to fight him some more. ;) Erpy - I've always played all of ...

I've only played as a Fighter so far, so I may post an update in this thread later on. First of all, it's awesome. Probably the best QFG combat system. :D Swing and thrusts : not much change there. Thrusts really don't do much damage, but the speed can come in handy at times - for example, they can ...
