That greyed dialog is from a character on top of the castle? Because i have it grey too and i am not too sure where to go now. Shadow dragon, ruins and cyclop kick my ass. Bridge is closed, ships dont sail too. I have plenty of quests but i think there is nothing left around Sorpgial for me to do now. Thing is those crashes keep me for diving too deep into the game. And also getting DayZ in the same day.
I also got an item like you mentioned, nice shoes for my mage.

Han you got such an item in act 1, a drop so, mine was a quest reward you will certainly get too, lucky you. Who did drop it ? The lighthouse boss ? (seems his drops are random)
Yes this dialog. Open in a text editor StreamingAssets/Dialog/LevDialog.xml Search and delete this (it appears 4 times, delete all 4) condition xsi:type="PrivilegeUnlockedCondition" privilegeID="1001" failState="DISABLED"
Also it's possible that you can use the horse house in Sorpigal right now to go to the next town.

Thank you very much!
I got it from the mysterious crypt. Still they leveled up only once so far (+14 evasion-not bad). From the boss and fancy chests I only get crossbows and bows which are totaly worthless to me.
|
Hoo, I didn't do the crypt, time to try it =) For me, I still have the default sword for my main warrior (or close to it, like I found a 16-22 sword to replace my 15-20). In the 2nd town they sell beautiful swords, 12k gold tho, and i'm always broke :D
|
I am super broke, I can barely afford to rest in an inn now. But I splashed 3k on some perma potions and training/spells are expensive too. I just checked those stables, apparently he is still to afraid of bandits. So gonna do it your way. And i need to go through that castle again, i already remember it i could go with my eyes closed :/
|
I found those boots, than you
|
Ok, where are the saves ? I had a bug when I couldn't move or click the door in front of me, I just quit and now my saves are all named "unknown tile" and I can't load anything  Ok 3 saves got corrupted, they're in programdata/orbit and corrpted can be recognized because they're 0 octet or very small like 300 octets, you delete those and it works again, that scare.
|
Oh wow you dodged a bullet there. Gonna be careful about that. This game could use a lot more polishing, considering the fact that its all scripted. Well i just finished the elemental forge and when i finally find that mysticism expert trainer my group should be pretty good. I have like a zilion quests and a guy named edwin who gives me extra xp so gonna do everything with him in group first.
|
I've been struggling with the crashes too, have opened ticket and dropped a thread that I keep updating at the forums. Seems like really hard optimization problem since I can play the game up to end of elemental forge with 0 problems while everything beyond it is generally 4-7 minutes of Uplay tracked time to crash, sometimes when I get to dungeon I can play a bit more.
Crypt Puzzle is something to rush when you start since the relic levels up, I just brute forced the puzzle first time and it didn't take long, but should probably learn it for later playthroughs. As an aftertought, I should have picked runepriest for my mage instead of freemage, since he can mow down monsters easier early on with just melee and is more tanky and still has access to strong schools of magic. I'd probably miss my Identify and Whispering Shadows (though I'm blind and even with it on walk past some secrets).
Game is fun aside from technical problems.

I keep on casting whispering shadows like a madman and also try to be careful and look and i havent found anything yet. Everything si either obvious without it or i dont know. Aside from few buttons on the ground i havent seen anything highlighted.
Have you guys seen any endurance and mysticism experts i really want those upgraded and there are no damn teachers.

It's been interesting to read through this thread and collect everyone's impressions. I played through M&M3: Isles of Terra a couple of times, but completed M&M4/5: World of Xeen about 8 times. That game is just that good. I cheesed as much of the game as I could as often as I could. In M&M3 it was being able to double-shoot spells or arrows before the enemy moved a tile if you were fast enough at clicking. In Xeen it was strafing behind a wall or opening a door/gate, then shooting an arrow/spell, then closing the door/gate or strafing behind a wall before the enemy could move.
When I worked at EA they had a resource center where you could borrow from their huge collection of games or movies. I borrowed M&M6 and M&M7 to try them out but I could never get into them. The graphics looked worse to me (primitive 3D) and the three-dimensional free roaming/turning felt weird so I never played more than a few minutes. After deleting these games I eventually went back and played through Xeen a couple more times. The amount of Star Trek references in Xeen were far too many to count and the puzzles, while not very difficult, had charm and were interesting.
I'm gonna do some extra research and check out some gameplay videos of M&MX because it sounds pretty fun.

Excalibur : haha I did that in M&M6-8 too, there was so much cheese those games are awesome you're missing a lot.
I just took my first point in dark magic, and suddenly the game is a lot easier lol, the default dark spell (auto dodge the next attack), every single solo big mob that was anoying is now a breeze, like dragon, minautors, cyclops...

I think both of those teachers are in the second town, most expert teachers that aren't at first are at it. I've only noticed very few secrets in dungeons by pretty much straight up walking at the with whispering shadows on, I don't think there's that many of them, usually there's something like one extra chest with decent goods at every dungeon from what I've found.

Nevermind about those teachers there were in last two houses i havent checked. Happens when you get dropped out of game instead of quitting it. Anyways where is this programdata/orbit you spoke about earlier. I just left Seahaven and randomly went through some bushes to a door when my game crashed but this time i have no saves to go back to. I hope i havent lost it all since the game is a lot of fun but i dont understand how they get away with publishing games like this. Hell they even had an early acces.

I was playing in windowed, tried full screen and haven't crashed since, too early to tell but if you're playing windowed too perhaps we have a lead !

I play fullscreen. I don really alt tab when i play. Well I was just testing the game before buying it, because I read about early acces and had a lot of worries so I dont play through steam that means no programdata in c. The folder in my documents contains only some pictures.

The folder in my documents contains only some pictures. That's normal, it means your saves are somewhere else in the steam folder or something. Now that I think about it the programdata folder is "hidden", search for it (windows search shows hidden folder right ?) or http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/show-hidden-files-in-windows-7/

While World of Xeen is my favorite (hell, I use Xeen as a username for games), MM6 is definitely worth getting into. The engine is different, obviously, but getting used to that is universal to any game. 6 keeps the trend of sci-fi and Star Trek references going even while starting a new storyline.
