Didn't see an active comprehensive bug thread... If I missed it please delete this topic.
I was very careful about my installation so I don't believe I have any conflicting mods. I noticed you could attack some of the dialog triggered improved NPCs without repercussion. They would stand there while I pound on them, drinking potions until they finally died, never turning hostile. Initiating dialog was the only way to trigger hostility. This occured with Borinall and Samia. I'd imagine this may be the case with other NPCs as well so I'll keep an eye out. |

When I was fighting the Shade Lord I took out all of his support but he managed to kill my two top fighters and put the rest of my party to sleep (not all at the same time). He then didn't do too much for the 10 or so minutes (probably not this long - I was pretty tense though and it felt like ages) that it took for the rest of my party to wake up; he just kinda stood there and let his protections wear out.
(BTW I thought this fight was way too hard overall) Also was the shadow dragon supposed to have any randomised items? The first attempt at taking him out failed miserably so I decided to CTRL+Y him just to see what he had before reloading. I thought he had something that looked like the blade of roses, but when I did kill him (properly) it wasn't there (just scales, teeth, gems and scrolls). I reloaded an older save and CTRL+Yed him again to check and there was nothing there again. |

I don't know if he got some randomised item normally but I can affirm that he had the Blade of Roses in my game. Seems odd. Maybe. If I've understood everything correctly the randomized items are set when you begin the game... so he should have the item again. |

If I've understood everything correctly the randomized items are set when you begin the game... so he should have the item again. Yes, you understood it correctly. However, when a player cheats (Ctrl-Y) as stu did, then it's very probable that things will be messed up with the randomizer program completely and a long term bug may be created in the game. I keep warning people about cheating and people seem to keep not taking it seriously. If you cheat, you are on your own. Shall I repeat this again? I don't like to see any more bug reports from players who use ANY kind of cheat in the game. Thanks in advance. -------------------- Improved Anvil
 Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating. |
