Southwest of Lakeview Tavern, in Act II, there are a lot of ghosts. Taking a path directly South of the nearest resurrection stone, you come to a ghost guard who tells you "You need permission from the baron" to pass the gate. I haven't found anything in the wiki other than that you cannot pass because "The baron is long dead". There looks to be a whole town beyond it, with a merchant icon. Maybe there is another way in but I haven't found it. There looks to be a path parallel to the river running NE that leads to Lakeview Tavern but I can't seem to find that either, I just end up following the river until it's blocked. Pretty good sized area back there that is clearly populated with something! I tried looking at the online map but I couldn't locate Lakeview Tavern even though I was pretty certain I was looking in the right place. Also could not find the icon key for the online map, only the in-game one, on the wiki even though it says I should see both. EDIT: I figured it out. This game is great but has some major flaws. The quest tracker is one of them. Often my objectives vanish from the map, and/or the next step in the quest doesn't show up in the log. Sacred II doesn't know how to recover from a crash, in particular. And of course, there is the pathing...God, it's so bad. Still, I play every damn day.

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-ChillStream-Gamepad-for-PC/dp/B000IX1NDC The Logitech Chillstream came before F310 and has a bit better analog control imho. Don't get me wrong, F310 is possibly the best you can buy ATM. Currently there are no very good quality gamepads for the PC. The Chillstream also makes any event of sweating hazard - gone! I've used it to play some driving games since its L2(PS terminology) button is very responsive and I've managed to hold particular speed in games like TDU2 and NFSU2. Problem is - no support for later versions of WinOS. The last one was Vista I think. If you can't find a chillstream the 2nd best imho is F310 since it's corded (better response) and is the closest to the Chillstream itself. However, the buttons like XYAB will feel a bit chunky and rocky until you work them out. If that is the problem I suggest some bootlegs of the Playstation controllers like Gembird or Natec or similar. It will serve it's purpose for a brief period of time, like several months, maybe more if you're careful. None of the Logitech controllers are good for Guitar Hero type of games. Chillstream is a bit smaller controller, and a bit chubbier than F310. F310 is more like a combo between Xbox 360 and PS2 controller. Buttons are like X360 and design is like a PS2 controller on steroids. Chillstream feels like a younger more advanced cousin of the original Xbox massive black controller, but kind of not as complicated as the N64 controller. It is light, too. Chillstream is heavier than any PS controller, but not as heavy as other Logitech controllers. Atm I have a Chillstream which is a far more delicate controller with great response with analogs and one NAtec controller which I use for playing fighting games from PS1 era (like Tekken or maybe even some castlevania SOTN). Any controller might work, just be sure to calibrate them before playing games.

I agree with Gogo, it's nice to see the project keeps going. Will definately look at the full video when I have enough time to do so, but what I've seen so far from parts of it, already makes me happy. Bronze Difficulty and Bronze/Silver/Gold slots look really familar, eh.

That ghost town refers to the Evocator boss quest. It's a long quest that you start at Artamark's Gate and that leads you through that whole area, check the path of the quest in red on the boss map: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Map_of_Ancaria

Sadly, it was a bust, so I scrapped it. Everyone I talked to told me that they hated Discord. If I did a Facebook page, they'd join, but they couldn't tell me what's so terrible about Discord. Personally, I love Discord, it's so easy to share pictures, links, videos. And I have a ton of that stuff; a good 50 house blueprints for Rising World that I haven't shared with that community, a crap-ton of new mineral pictures that I'm procrastinating putting on my photo thing, that type stuff. While I'm here, I have one more thought. Not everyone likes minerals; some just see colored rock, which I can totally understand. Before I became a gemologist, I had given away a whole bucketful of rare agates from Germany, something I kick myself for. But at the time, I saw them as unnecessary clutter. But if you're a fan of minerals (you don't have to tell me, because otherwise I might never shut up), I have two physical stores and two websites I can recommend. Sadly, all of these are within the United States, as the only time I do anything mineral-wise overseas is go to mines, as it's cheaper and I get a discount (you know, professional courtesy and whatnot). 1) If you're going to Myrtle Beach, ya gotta check out Black Market Mineral in Barefoot Landing. The name sounds shady, but it's a legit business. Every year I go, it gets better and better. There is something for everyone in that place, even if the person you're shopping for isn't too keen on minerals. 2) Should you find yourself going to the buckeye state, ya gotta check out V Rock. That place is like a mineral emporium. 3) Internet site #1= exquisitecrystals. Granted, there's a lot of talk about chakras and (gag) Lemurian crystals, but I've never seen an internet site that's a better bang for your buck 4) Internet site #2= rockhoundlounge. This place is a little more expensive, because it's higher quality. However, there's stuff there that I haven't seen anywhere else, like smoky amethysts. Real quick, before I go, there's also two places I can recommend never to go to; Etsy and Ebay. I love Ebay in general, but I have never seen such a large assortment of fake minerals, the same can be said of Etsy. Now, if you don't mind shelling out money for colored glass that looks like minerals, cool. But if you're a purist like I am, I'd avoid those two sites.
