QUOTE Critto, my guess is that S!shost.bcs is the culprit. Can you check? Yes, it is. I will devise the fix some time during the week, we'll ship it with the next update, since this isn't a critical issue.QUOTE If I cast speak with aniamls on it Sibel says The cat can be talked to without the spell (which might be an oversight, but I'll think about it separately). Thanks for the bug report. |

We intentionally made it so that the animals in this area do not require Speak with Animals spell, because the party may not have a druid or a ranger. It was not an oversight.
We just need to fix S!shost.bcs so that the spell is not considered a hostile action. QUOTE Whatever Howard hides No hints except what you chose (city vs. dungeon). -------------------- Improved Anvil

Should have picked dungeon
![]() Here's some general feedback so far: - New areas look superb! - Buried Ambitions is nicely spread out (hace 2 clues so far) - Sibel's quest (or initial one I assume) was great! - New monsters!! - Updated & renewed graphics for monsters are very nice! - Bottomless bags of holding would be nice, we tend to run out of space quite fast This post has been edited by pekkae: Jun 17 2024, 11:43 AM |

QUOTE - Buried Ambitions is nicely spread out (hace 2 clues so far) There's still one more left. It's accessible in ch2-3, if you haven't found it – means you haven't explored well enough ;-) I saw your planned route in the journal thread, don't rush into ch4.QUOTE - Bottomless bags of holding would be nice, we tend to run out of space quite fast I think the capacity of the main bags (the ones you find in pirate's hideout and the one in spellhold) was actually improved in this release. |

- Sibel's quest (or initial one I assume) was great! Thank you. SPOILER! My guess is that there was still more in the village than you saw, which is not a bad thing, because it adds to the mod's "replaying value". I'll be waiting for other players' reports and will compare the different reports. Sibel's village is actually an optimization programming problem. A computer programmer or a mathematician can even model it and solve it for the optimal course of action. I'm proud of its design. But I also liked the way you played it with role-playing perspective in mind without trying to reload the game countless times to check what happens if you do those stuff differently.

Two encounters are in an outside area and one is located in a dungeon.

Haha. I have two notes from "dungeons"
![]() But I guess that's one outside area left. I'll see if I can figure this out. TheShal is a pretty good fight to clear pre spellhold. This post has been edited by pekkae: Jun 17 2024, 02:15 PM |

It worked fine. The attackers are a little bit scattered so we had to actually search for the attackers a little bit, as in running around the map.
The new graphics are awesome (And the new monsters as well!). Will play through again with more time in the next few days if I have the chance. I'm super happy Sibel made a level before the fight as those extra spells will come in superbly handy. This post has been edited by pekkae: Jun 17 2024, 05:17 PM |

SPOILER! crew: PC Auramaster Mich Berserker Sibel Jaheira Nalia Custom F/I Start with contigencies stoneskins on sight of enemy. F/I IH minsc + minute meteors. Nalia strength, Sibel aeriel servant, holy power + righetous magic. Jaheira summon cs, holy power + skins. Haste everything, IH Minsc + Jaheira. PC summon bears, then flame arrows & npp's & pfl. Towards the end we have Minsc berserking, Jaheira under skins, CC, IH + 22 str (or so) and Sibel with 25str + pfl (shield of harmony) whacking Jagul. stay at the centre. mass cure's are wonderful here (sibel has many), so are minute meteors + IH'd Berserker & fully buffed Avenger. |

Must be missing something in Sibel's area
SPOILER! Have powder ingredient A/B/C, 6 Arcanis coins even the boots of speed and have the Saw, while the other 2 components were used to get "The engine is humming along nicely" No one from what I can tell has any other dialogue so I must be missing something greatly.
