    Looking for Arena tips

    Thanks a lot! That was just the case! I was pretty sure, that i didn't have enough money to accept the quest, though... Without you i would have spent hell of a time figuring that out.

    Looking for Arena tips

    Oh, damn. I am afraid i broke the game (or caught a bug). As i said, i have started a dialogue with information trader... but then something went wrong, maybe i clicked something, i don't know, but i lost the dialogue and other dialogue about some crappy courier job appeared. Does Artifact quest...

    Looking for Arena tips

    Is it true that armour system is completely broken in Arena? https://www.reddit.com/r/Arena/comments/1bhopwd/armor/ "I officially declare it: The armor system in this game DOES NOT WORK. Enemies deal the same range of damage to both a “naked” character (armor +10) and a knight completely clad...

    Looking for Arena tips

    Hi there! I hope its OK to ask here. I have recently started TES Arena and i have some questions. I choose a wood elf character, so i found myself in Valenwood, Heimdar city. There i heard rumours about Khajiti ring, Necromancer amulet and other magical stuff. NPCs told me that i should go to...

    Thanks! About the Orcs lair, have you found the lever there? Is it a bug in the (GOG?) game or wrong information in the official cluebook? Or it is really only can be solved with Transversalis spell (which would be a VERY weird game design decision imho)? UPD. My bad again probably. One...

    I have beat the game. Some minor spoilers below Recently I said that I pity that I used a walktrough at some point. Now I am not. OK… Almost. With 7 map pieces I was wondering through the global map, trying to be a “complitionist”, and find two other pieces. I spoke with unicorn earlier and...

    You have reminded me... After playing Gabriel Knight 1 a few years ago i came up with "a rule of three hours". If i can't proceed after 3 hours of my own trying i have a right to watch a walkthrough. I have broken my rule here unfortunately.

    Ah, yeah, thank you, the thing is i usually hate spoilers. Just needed to vent. I feel stupid now, after hours of unicorn searching i have started to look for dark druid Gorah and Dark mage ancient ruins and couldn't find them. I have searched all the territory near Orvil and Thoss for hour...

    On the road from Felsteyn to Hermits lake i have met a unicorn, talked with it and he had promised me to return with a map piece or smth. I then have tried route back to Felsteyn, Phexcaer, Upper Orcam, basically everywhere, also walked around lake a several times. Drawned several times in a...

    UPD. It wasn't a bug. I just didn't pay necessary attention to the fact that in Mysterious cave in Prem, when you are hit by rocks - you loose time in days. BTW, Huge amount of XP there was a bug or feature? And last (i hope) question, is there a time limit in original BoD? Some say you have...

    Yes, indeed, it eliminated hunger and thirst. And hunger is normally eliminated by foodpacks, the problem is in water and thirst. It appears after some time, even if i, as i said, have been to tavern/inn or bought new waterskins. Didn't have this problem until Prem, where i got by boat (so no...

    One more question. In DOSbox (from GOG) the only way to refill water is while camping in the wild? I have found myself with characters in deep thirst, when i was not camping for a rather long time. I have tried to eat in Inns and drink in Taverns, to buy new waterskins in shops - no help.

    I guess in winter (only in winter?) you should wear winter robe?

    With what armour and shields have you equipped your melee warriors? I have read an opinion that: "Leather is pretty much the best armor option in all categories unless you have a high enough skills to offset the penalties. Robes are functionally same as a shirt. Don't use Extravagant robe...

    Thanks for your answer! So it is rounds, not even hours? Yeah, i got it, but i read somewhere that aggressive mode doesn't bring much better number of successful attacks. I also didn't notice any better attack count. It is strange how in this game melee characters almost always miss... And...
