Ran into a couple of game-breaking bugs. Help?
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 5:25 am
So for some reason my magic-using thief can't buy levitate.
I figured this wasn't so much a problem - it did mean I couldn't finish WIT and get reversal, but on a QfG marathon, skipping WIT is not the kind of thing that will cause me to bail and ask for help in the middle of only the second game of the series.
Problem is, when I got to the palace, for some reason it gave me the magic user ending instead of the thief ending. Which is impossible without reversal.
Anyone have any tips as to how I can either get it to give me the correct ending or hack in the spell? While I'm cheating anyway, it would be nice if I could pick up levitate too, if we're going that route.
Edit: I note that the thief walkthrough has me throw a knife at the patrolling eunuch instead of just sneaking past like I did in the original. For some reason I only have 1 knife after escaping prison, although I had 10 beforehand, so this is out. Could this be why I'm getting the magic user ending? Or is that an unrelated bug? I guess I could try hex editing that in too.
I have a hex editor, but haven't been able to make much sense of the save game files.
