OK, that may work. First time I tried that

Spoiler

the abbot stood squarely on the crossroads and that scroll told me to be ruthless. This time I got out with the bones first and am waiting for midnight to see if I got the right spot. Afterwards, I'll go back down to check.

It's seems I'm even worse with hidden triggers than I already knew, I was in that room more than once before, but well, that's all done now and I'm back to the surface. One thing I still couldn't solve was the sun painting. I vaguely remember having similar problem in DM2, but no matter where I clic...

And I'm afraid I need another hint: ROS Worked out the obvious parts some time ago when I was still stuck at the spider and ghost sections. Found the square key and thus the nightblade, but not the ROS rune. There is still a huge blank on the northeastern part of my map but I have no idea how to get...

OK, never heard about any of those (except Moroowind of course which is a classic even though I never played it myself). Guess I'll have to do some research, perhaps there's something I'd like, too. On the other hand, I don't have the nerve for MMOs again as I like to play when I like and how I like...

My thoughts exactly with all of mancini's posts: language barrier or just spam?

Thought a while about Project 17, and then thought a while longer if I should write anything about it: it's your game after all and I don't want to impose on it. On the other hand: you decide what (if anything) to do with my thoughts, so here they are: I feel that section got some logical problems: ...

OK, got me there... Was a bit confused because I couldn't see anything happening and on top of that, it takes a while to work - which is realistic, so I'm OK with that. I guess you thought about some optical help yourself, probably there are restrictions due to the engine used. But what would have h...

OK, got those. :) So, back down to KU again. Got the bomb as you already know, and got the key to the pump. It's still not sucking in those fumes, but no need for a hint yet. Ah, well, just a thought: there's a reason for that shutter after all, let's try to create some low pressure first. Otherwise...

Head -> table... head -> table... I can't believe how long it took me to figure out that

Spoiler

haze/switch riddle in KU. Sometimes the mind works in strange ways. ^^

KATH: Ah OK, so it'll be that strange little spot near stonehenge. I've seen it figuring out the guards but have not yet found access to it. I thought maybe it'll open when I start with the incantations but I'll have to find KU first (well, no idea, where to look for that - just kidding). Otherwise,...

Great, so I'll continue with the new Part 2 when I finally get that far. :) Still lacking four runes: KATH (probably missed it somewhere...), KU, ROS and SAR. I'm a bit perplexed about the restless spirit: solved it but didn't get anything useful out of it. Checked some other places, but knowing you...

I did love original DM and looking for it was what brought me here. But playing it through once more was enough to last again for some years, I guess. ;) What keeps me playing "DM" is the community who put all that work into custom dungeons. But if you ask about games I liked to replay aft...

Well, where did you by the game? Shouldn't you better ask them or the developers? And - just checking - you're sure you didn't turn off the sound on your whole computer, right?

Well, if you're too weak to deal with the enemies, you'll have to do some leveling anyway, preferably with some screamers as they also provide food. The next food source further on will be magenta worms but they're quite horrifying to fight first time you meet them. As for your question, I don't kno...

Hi Gambit, thanks for your insights, which are especially precious because you tried all editors. It is a very good comparison of the pros and cons: easy to understand and getting all the important facts inside of a few sentences. :) I don't know when (or if) I'll ever get around to editing myself, ...

Heyho, I'm not sure where to post this since it is more or less a comparison of all the engines. I played (at least for a while): Conflux (CSBwin) quite a few RTC dungeons and pretty sure I tried out DSB at some time, too What always surprises me is this: how much processing resource RTC uses. (And ...

OK thanks, that was more curiosity on my part anyway. And that spell is probably not something I'll ever need, but I like to try them all.

Made lots of progress and am very happy that things are running again. However, I have one question concerning the NETA staff or more specifically, its vitality (?) spell. If I have the staff in hand, it shows it as OH EW NETA and clicking on it works, but if I try it after I get the NETA rune it is...

Cool, then that's where I'll go next. So, basically like the four switches in the tower, but the hint there are the pits. As to my above comment (DES): that was not quite right, I did wonder where they go/come from, but never checked because at first, I didn't like to wait again and then I just forg...

The vexirk: Wiped out the skeletons a long time ago. ;) Couldn't make much sense of the two pressure plates with the hazes around them that time (and now that you mention it: there may also have been a vexirk at the time. I so, I killed it - would have remembered otherwise. :D So when I finally got ...

Okay, I'm afraid I'm stuck now. Found even more cool things since last time I posted, but there is always another wall immediatly after, nothing to get me going freely again for at least a time. So i decided to make a list of what I achieved so far. It's probably best for anyone who is still playing...

Oh wow, now you got me to refresh my memory of dinosaurs. :lol: Back then, I think I knew about anything that was known (which was not that much, actually) and as far as I remember, there were only two raptor species known at the time: the Velociraptor you mentioned - and aptly described :) - and th...

Sounds like you (all) had a lot of fun, so who cares how long it took to progress? :D I tried something similar once, with much simpler rules, and it was fun while it lasted but it trailed off because people dropped out, those who joined didn't last long, and when the GM quit, they tried to keep it ...

OK, short update: I finally got the map, so you can forget about my Tower rant. ;) I guess with a map the spell part should be relatively easy as you can see the spells. Well, so I proved it can be done without any map at all if you got the nerve and a bit of luck and instinct. ^^ And just another s...

Hehe, great, I can't be bothered to grow up either :D (Well, some parts can't be helped as I have to earn money and somehow organize my life after all...) Thankfully, my lady is in touch with her inner child too. So one day, we were just walking around and passed a playground. In the spur of the mom...

By the way, Ameena: you got a cool dad. My parents were always skeptical - almost afraid - of video games. My mum still is, even thogh she likes online Sudokus, sometimes for hours - but that's something totally different of course.

Thanks for the explanation, really appreciate it. Figured out the KU part too - that's a tricky one, not sure I could have done it on my own though there are some small clues. I'm just not (yet? ;) ) used to hidden triggers like that. Not quite sure where I will go now, probably should start making ...

Ah OK, perfect, then I'll continue trying and looking - until now I always found some spot where I could go on. Your game has a bit of Metroid Prime feeling to it: lots of criss-crossing but in a cool way. Some areas I don't understand yet but I guess it'll fall into place sometime. Until now there ...

Ouch, yes I did something like that in the Trail when I chased a wall-spawned Fireball. Happens if you have to run because the next one will hit you from behind... :D The most funny thing I remember from the good old days (and I believe I read about something alike posted here): Quite early into the...

Hi Saumun, I seem to be one of the few people who actually liked DM2 (at least the parts outside of the keep...), and I really love what you have built with The Trail. I'm quite a few hours into Part 1 by now, found a lot of things and even one secret so far - and probably missed even more. :wink: H...
