  1. Yah.. 9% would rock - but then again, how many million point bosses do you run into on bronze? Thus far I've barely gotten to the Seraphim Island and the bosses I've come across haven't really been all that bad... EDIT: Whoops.. I spoke WAAAAY too soon. DAMN! That Xanthier dragon is one mean Barsteward...! GAAAAAH! Found an upgrade to that bow... This one has 12+ LL and a higher damage rating.
  2. I found a nice bronze level bow - LL +9, All skills +2, some poison damage thrown in for good measure. Damage is like 59 - 74. It's serving me well - so far. Attack speed is pretty good and combined with other CAs like cobalt strike and blazing tempest, I don't run into too many tough spots.
  3. I really, really, REALLY hate when that happens... That's why I dug up an ancient copy of WinKeyKiller off the web. It's free. It still works with Windows 7 (presume it works with XP, Vista and everything between going back to 95). It doesn't suck up a bunch of resources. And prevents whoopsies that can cost your charcters dearly. Google is your friend. My actual reason for getting it had to do with a problem I was having with Sacred 1... Every time I hit the bloody key, the game would go fubar - I'd hit the desktop and then go back into the game and the screen would be black. I could lose potentially hours of game play. I also used it to disable the Alt-Tab combo - sometimes I'd be looking to see what got dropped (Alt) and would pop up the map (tab) to see where I wanted to go next - and sometimes hit both a the same time. The config for the utility will let you disable that as well.
  4. Er... I could have sworn she says "That was fun, or would you disagree USER"... She seems to be more interactive with the person behind the controls than the other characters. I could be wrong tho... I'll have to crank the volume up a bit and listen a bit closer... At any rate, she reminds me of a cross between the old Battle Mage from Sacred 1 and a Jewish American Princess - "I'm a fragile high elf - how am I supposed to carry THAT?" He too was quite cocky for his britches at times. It's my favourite quote, but it could be user, but I prefer loser. Well.. Ok.. If you must.. But if you think about some of the other things she says - something to the effect of "Congratulations Player, the quest compass has helped you arrive at your destination..." - you can see what I'm talkin' about.

  6. I'll have to go with the High Elf... Gods..! She's got a mouth on her... Only she could tell the Orc leader that his deodorant wasn't working.. AND get away with it. Sheesh... All in all, she's a bit of a prima donna. But she's funny. Of course, being a lowly huiman I'd likely be roped into being her mule.
  7. Might be fairer to say "Forens aligned" character... I know what you mean about translators... Did a beta a while back and was responding to someone in Chinese. The bloody translator somehow managed to mangle "Release Candidate" into "Reinforced Concrete..."
  8. No.. When you go inside and rescue the zombie boyfriend, you then need to make your way to Orpheus' lair and have a chat with the bugger. When you talk to him, there are two options - join Orpheus or Kill Orpheus. If you choose the former, yes, the object of the quest is to eliminate both Mary Ann and the zombie boy toy. If you choose to decline Orpheus' offer, then you have to kill Orpheus and then make your way outside of the cave. As soon as you exit, the zombie boyfriend transforms to a normal living elf dude. Talk to him and he will thank you for saving him and give you points.
  9. Marcus - The mission is called "Honesty Pays" and can be found in Orcish Byway - in the building where the Merchant at the bottom of the hill hangs out. You talk to him and he's got such a business proposition for you but he can't talk about it there so he wants you to follow him. You go outside, around the back of the building and you find yourself on a farm. Your character says as much and that's the end of the mission. The guy who issued you the quest vanishes and it's pretty much the end of the road on that one. It's like Holy Hannah!? Was there a point to this mission? In the log book, it looks like the begining of a chain quest but there's nothing more.
  10. Ack... At the moment, all I've got is the US version - meaning I can't install Ice and Blood - and can't install the CM patch. Looks like it'll be close to the end of the month before I get the funds together to get the necessary version... Oh well. Guess I'm going to have to be very careful. And I suppose I can get through things with one fubared quest. As a side note - just curious... Does the CM Patch actually fix that quest for that guy in the Merchant's house in Orcish Byway? The shady guy who wants to make you a deal you can't refuse - and you wind up in a field with a completed quest that you didn't really get any explanation for.
  11. Actually... It's kinda close - but it's not the one with the balloon. The quest you were thinking of is the one where the kid, who's standing next to the player chest is sobbing because the candy merchant won't give her/him candy. You go down there, and look menacing and the guy coughs up some candy for the kid. You go back to the kid and he/she gives you some of the loot in a basket. And of course, you get the mandatory lecture on how candy's bad for your teeth... That quest was no doubt sponsored by the American Dental Association... The balloon quest giver kid is on the move - north/south throughout the town and won't stop till you solve the quest.
  12. On my way to Griffinborough, I came across the guy under the bridge with the sad tale of woe about his being kicked out of town and how his kid was getting hitched. So I bopped back up onto the bridge and went across. For whatever reason, the game did NOT kick off the trigger when you get to the front of the guy's former house. So I bopped around to the back and clicked on the tree stump. Nothing happened. So I looked at the map - lo and behold, the quest indicator is still in front of the guy's house. So I go back, the game triggers and now I've got the indicator pointing at the tree stump. The only problem is - the stump is now dead. It's no longer clickable. DOH! Anyone got any ideas on how to revive this quest? Or is it permanently fubar?
  13. Simple way to check if it's a hosed save game - Launch the game and create a new version of your existing character. Seraphim looking like she could use a few weeks in a tanning bed? Create a new one. Does the new one look "normal" or bleached?
  14. Yep... Didn't quite get it until I had at least one lovely adult beverage... Btw... To those wondering, the "Scribe 'Gauntlets' of Atheron" aren't Gauntlets - they're the bracers you get for completing the quest for the ghost in the Griffinborough cemetery. I just happen to have a few of my builds going through that part of Ancaria and still happened to have the ones I got from the chronicler in Black Oaks for completing the quest "The Spirit of Atheron". The only difference - the Chronicler's set was worth 19,000 odd gold while the one generated by the code was worth 21,000 odd gold. Oh.. and if I can figure out how to get a screen shot of the items - I can paste 'em up somewhere and give a link... Thus far, whenever I hit the printscreen key, the inventory dialog vanishes and none of that gets saved.
  15. 1.) Actually, it's the Inquisition HQ where it starts... The temple is right next door. 2.) It's not a bunny that gives you the rewards - it's the giant chicken that you help hatch from the brain egg... But you DO get bunny ears and they actually have halfway decent armor value. 3.) I haven't had a crash there either. Done as both Temple Guardian and Seraphim. Oh yah.. Seraphim Playboy Bunny build time! :heart:
