I thought about the auto-loot option, too. Lackeys sent in would probably want danger-money; traps would have to be rendered safe and doors unlocked, too - the idea of the possibility of a random encounter is also a good one. All of which, in the context of a cRPG, means more code, and more things t...

Hear hear. My days playing cRPGs began with Final Fantasy VII - where inventory was such a fluid concept that it was all but a total non-issue for the player. Casting the issue in a slightly different way, my real issue lies with how the PC is able to find that scroll of ultimate invulnerability whe...

I'm getting off topic here, but just about any cRPG is, intentionally, beyond the realm of belief. At least other media like cinema and books have ellipsis (where boring things like characters going to the lavatory are generally left out) to maintain an illusion of realism, but rpgs suffer in that i...

Of course, enormous weight allowances exist, esp. in cRPGs, to facilitate fun game-play. But surely this could be done another way. It would be reasonable, I think, to expect a hero (so a PC with a certain amount of renown and financial wallop) to afford a supply train. Didn't knights of olde have s...

That'll make 'em think twice before carrying half-a-dozen potions of poison with 'em! And I don't even want to think about the consequences of Devil's Oil or... Incinerator Fuel /shivers/

Pauper. You may not assign any skill points during the start of the game or during your level-ups. Given that going to a trainer does not coincide with the start of the game or during your level-ups, the wording of the challenge implies that it is permitted to use trainers. However, this is the let...

Because that's all the time it'll take you to play through this quaint, console-like (i.e. FF for the SNES like) RPG. It's easy on the eyes (for having quite a low resolution), has nice music and sounds, a decent plot and is a good afternoon's entertainment. Find it here: http://annchienta.sourcefor...

Legal is as kops don't care. In other words, if aforementioned websites are maintaining download links to software, then it is because they have not been told off for it yet (certainly abandonia and hotu take down links if they even suspect there might be a problem). Yes, the distribution of this so...

1. Short answer, "no". Long answer here . 2. To stop the game from crashing. The game puts in a widget when something went wrong generating an item, apparently. See here . 3. It's not vital for any of the quests, I don't think. Use at your discretion. The game dialogue hints at this ("...

I don't know about your first question, but [quote]Also, Sonic Blast had absolutely no affect at level 2 when I tired to use it on those green poison-biting lizards things. Are they immune, or is the spell just not that good? (They all resisted it every time I cast it).[/quote] Hostile mobs have a r...

On my fifth attempt at the game (I play roguelike - I dies, I starts again), without even meaning to. Specialised everything into being a mana-battery: Stats just prior to "good" ending, as druidic magick user, level 17: str 10 int 30 dex 10 wis 27 end 11 perc 28 spd 10 conc 26 skills of n...

I just finished the game after my fifth shot (I like to play with the rogue-like "if you die, you're dead" restriction - i.e. start over). I personally found that playing really specialised is how to get ahead. I was wondering how everyone else felt? For info, my lv 17 elementalist (okay, ...
