  1. The mod Sacred Reborn gets the job done. You can summon two wolfs. A human and a vampire version. They will handle the game for you. If they get killed, reanimate them. It is a quite boring technique, though. Good for leveling up quickly, but not really fun. Alternatively you can go for set weapons. Pole arms and bow are the most savage, followed by axe and finally sword, which has the lowest firepower. After all I´d say it is all about your build, the gear you can access and the balance between many factors to make your hero effective. Speaking of tinkering the game: The code of the game is encrypted, there is not much you can do personally, as long as you are not a coder yourself. The makers were a bit stingy back in the day, hoping to push Diablo2 from the throne. Guess thats why they locked things away.

  2. Don´t get fooled by some angry guys, who wrote :eek:-reviews about Reborn. I assume, they simply tried to hammer-smash their way through obstacles, which where max immune to their current damage type. After their technique did not work out, they lost nerves, sat frustrated and confused in front of their PC. (Solution: Pick other damage type instead) Reborn mod plays joyfully with monster-resistances, but leaves the player always a way out, never acting against him. The team put a lot of efforts not only into the mod, but also into the documentation. It is worth a read. After all, it is a big, fat modification, inviting to try it out, giving the game a new life. Don´t be shy. It is not difficult. And if you are really stuck, just ask. There are many ppl with vast insight here. Speaking of Sacred 2, what keeps me miles away, is that Sacred 2 is not beginner-friendly. You might survive the easy difficulties with a poor build, but not the higher ones. So, the chance that you scr!w up as a noob is very real. And putting two months of work into a character, only to find out that you skilled him wrong and have to start it all over again? No. As for the remaining Sacred 2 players here: They are top elite, playing the game for a very long time already. So handling the latest mods like D2, or the Patch Addendum, is a piece of cake for them. Before you begin, get yourself a guide to prevent a rough and painful belly-landing. Back to S1 again, the Vampire is a pure summoner class if you want it. She is also one of the more flexible characters due to her shapeshifting ability. You can easily build ranged melee (day <-> night), devastating spellcaster and, as mentioned above, summoner. It all raises and falls with the gear you can access and the style of play you prefer. There are no doubt, things to consider. I´d recommend to visit the wiki, or just ask right away. Look. I think I got a Vampire starter, well stuffed with gear, laying around somewhere in my digital lumberroom. Nothing is cheated. Everything is farmed and bought nicely together. You can give it a run, then decide if it is something for you. Sounds good?

  3. Dax, thank you very much for your answer! I`ve read about this Reborn mod before and, as I understand, profound rebalancing was undertaken in it, making Sacred harder to play, so this fact frightened me away. But two wolves are definitely better than one, so... Together with bats they can make a difference. And I`ve also found out that Diablo II Fallen mod contains Druid with the ability to cast 4 wolves and a bear at the same time) Maybe Sacred 2 can be given a second chance as well. It`s a pity both Sacred 1 and 2 lack a pure summoner. And I`ve heard about the difficulties concerning modding of Sacred 1... And it makes me appreciate all the attempts to modify the game even more)

  4. baby duck -> Sekttorte A cake with Sekt (german for certain sparkling wines) in the batter. We do it mainly to welcome the new year with friends. 23.55 and time to lift up from chairs to ready for exchanging handshakes, hugs and kisses with family and friends.

  6. Actual calaveras are made with a mold, into which you'd put either sugar or sometimes just plastic for the decorative ones. In my case I took a basic (yes that's actually kind of basic for a sugar skull) design and drew it onto the pumpkin before carving it. I came in 2nd place in the contest. No one else carved theirs, the rest were all painted or decorated some other way. I think the cold fluorescent office lights did me in. The difference between lights on and off is stark but they needed the lights on to see everyone else's designs.
