It's something like a yearly check-in for me.

I think that's okay. Screw the Twitter Age.

Highest, of course.

Yep. Always breaks. Which is infuriating, because it used to work for me many years ago, both in the voiced and unvoiced versions of the game.

In his Thief and Mage forms he is surprisingly underwhelming due to not using his class abilities much. When he's a Magic User, he should spam more Flame Darts. As he is now, in a typical fight he will cast zero flame darts, only a Zap or two, and generally die in melee combat. Even when I'm not a f...

I think this change was a good decision from a game design standpoint.

I know this is old, but to be sure, has anyone helped you yet, or have you beaten him on your own? I might give it a whirl myself if not. The trick with the falling pizzas is to basically stay still to regenerate stamina, and watch the shadows, you see the shadows of the pizzas long before the actua...

Just reporting that I'm still having these issues after moving to a quadruple-core processor, so it's not just duals.

At least the youtube/video fix still works!

Tell me this is a Paladinhood-barring action...

So, this decision to go to Raseir with the caravan... at which point is it taken exactly? Think about it. On day 11 Shema tells you that it's rumored that you're going to Raseir with the caravan, and from then on everyone and their mother takes it for granted. Where did that come from? I was like, h...

One thing that annoys me in the QFG community is when people, instead of just exercising the option to not play a hybrid themselves if they happen to have that preference, would want to limit other people in how they get to play. Hell, Lori Ann Cole herself has said that she prefers to cross-class t...

Yeah, not the best idea i've seen in my life...

I'm confused. You want a walkthrough but you don't want to be spoiled on the game? Isn't that kind of mutually exclusive?

Not sure how that's a mess, CyricZ's guides are excellent.

Oh, and speaking of issues with Jackalmen:



The guy on the right is actually hitting me. Though fortunately this one isn't really important as it's only a visual problem, doesn't affect the combat; you can still fight back as usual.

Also, (1) If a Jackalman approaches you from behind or to the side, you have to wait until AFTER they are in position before you can kick them. If you try to kick them right when they land, your character will kick in an opposing direction, leaving you open for a slash. Yeah, this is a bit of a prob...

This may be my favourite easter egg in the whole game. I could just hear Rakeesh's voice from QFGV: "You have found my weakness *chuckles*, I do have a taste for this strange food".

Remember that series of dreams you could have in QFG IV by sleeping in the garden or by the staff? During the 6th one, the one including the line "you kiss the lips of the mage Erana", there's supposed to be a transition from the floating globe to Erana's face, and the game freezes for me ...

Regarding the speed bug in Windows 7, here's something completely silly but true. Aside from the affinity fix , which definitely helps but only partially, I found that alt-tabbing to Firefox and opening a youtube video restores my QFG2 game to full speed. Or opening a video from disk, in VLC. At thi...

Now i'm curious. How did you succeed at buying those other things earlier?

The funny thing is, jackalman-piles counting as one corpse and thus giving less total gold is somehow intended. One of the creators posted about this before. It never quite made sense to me how that's supposed to be a good feature.

I don't have it if I'm playing on Windows 7, I do have this problem if playing in VirtualBox though. I'm not sure what causes it.

I suggest trying windowed mode (with a large enough filter that it takes up most of your screen anyway).

Yeah, counterattack-based combat is pretty hard. With enemies like Uhura, if you want to match your response to each of her 3 attacks, to either parry-riposte (vs normal attack), duck-rising-slash (vs high), or do the skullsplitter (vs low), that's pretty much unfeasable - if the game is running at ...

Same problem. I tried XP in VirtualBox to avoid the speed problems that occur in Windows 7 . Well, no speed problems in XP, but in fullscreen mode (the only one I really wanna play), the mouse cursor is literally uncontrollable. I tried to turn off mouse precision boost and other options, but that d...

I wonder how this works with reinstalls. Let's say I unlocked Battle Mode with Character1, then I play the game again with Character2, who can use Battle Mode. Now suppose some time in the future I do a system reinstall, but keep game saves. Once I install the game anew, will Character2 still be abl...

Bump.
