After being in contact with the Ascaron developers I finally got this game to run. I just started and it is an awesome game so far. I chose to be a dryad since i love playing a ranged character. I just wish to obtain some more clothes soon. I'm blushing all over because of my skimpy clothes.

Now for some novice questions: Does anyone know if you can exit the game without saving? I let a companion die and I think that screwed up the quest.

Also, has anyone found a walkthrough yet? I haven't quite got my bearings yet. I also want to avoid picking up further companions before I am ready for them.

Rowan, what did you have to do to get it running?

I did not find an answer to leaving without saving but I found this from Oldman on a previous post:



I know several members have played it, so hopefully one of them will know the answer.

Edit: if all else fails, can you copy a previously saved game from the saved game folder before exiting?

Row the only walkthrough I've found is here and it's not fully completed yet.

As you pick up armor from your fallen enemies you will get clothed. If you have the default settings your game should automatically equip your character as you pick up items.

Glad you finally got the game running.

Rowan-

You can just hit Esc and then go off the game. It will take you back to your last save when you start up again.

maggie

Thanks, Maggie, I'll try that next time. Did you finish the game?

That's a big help, Oldman. Do you know if you pick up a companion accidentally if you can dump him/her and pick them up again later?

Looney, I needed a newer beta video driver. My Windows Updater doesn't recognize beta versions so they are not automatically downloaded/installed. I learned something the long hard way.

Rowan, are you asking about the quests where you have to escort someone? I was never able to tell them to wait for me once I agreed to take them. It seemed the farther I got in the game the more I had tagging along and half the time I didn't remember saying okay.

Ana

Their armor sure doesn't cover very much does it?

I don't really like escorting anyone because as soon as I am not watching them they seem to die on me.

Can you pass a potion to them like in original sacred or can you heal them?

I have a Seraphim and a High Elf going so far.

Ana, I have had only one escort quest so far and the escort died. I had hoped that I could exit and reload to try again but it seems that the game saves itself upon exit. That was before Maggie's suggestion of using the Esc button but I haven't had the need to try that since then. The reason he got killed was that I am having trouble with the camera angle. At one pint I couldn't see around corners and now the angle has changed to a top down view and I can't seem to be able to change it. Adjusting the camera in the Options doesn't make much difference that I can tell.

I also came across a locked door in a cave. I was able to shoot a rat through the door but I couldn't open it. Does anyone know how to open locked doors?

I still have a lot to learn a about all those little gemlike things i keep collecting. They say to right click to use. I've tried that and it disappears. I don't know what it did but it seems to me that I wasted something. I also have a vellum scroll. have no idea what it is supposed to do. I'm afraid to right click it and waste it. It is the only one I've found. Another thing I haven't figured out yet are all the round empty buttons at the bottom of the screen. Do things pop into them automatically or do I drag something there? The manual isn't that clear to me.

Other than all that I am enjoying this very much.

I a a dryad at level 5.

When you have locked doors that usually means that there is a key somewhere. I think they are usually found on monsters in the area. Once you have the key it is used automatically and the door opens.

The slots at the bottom of the screen are filled by those round and triangle shaped gems which are called relics. My game automatically filled the slots as I found the gems but you can drag and drop them to replace the ones previously filled. You can put your mouse on the gem to see what it does plus you can hit alt when you put your mouse pointer on an object and it will show you what is equipped and what you're looking at. I'm going on memory here as I've taken a break from Sacred 2 and replaying Morrowind (again).

VHL, when you click on a health potion you automatically heal your escorts too. You may need multiple potions but they will heal.

Rowan, I am not at home right now, but if you look at the printable keyboard layout in one of the patches I believe it has the camera buttons marked. You can change your angles to get in doors, (I want to say it is the WASD keys and then use the mouse scroll to zoom in or out.

Ana

Thanks BrownEyedTigre.

I think I am still not going to escort anyone.

Now I could be wrong but don't you drop stuff when you right click on an item in your inventory? I will check when I go back to the game. Just click on the hand at the bottom to pick it up again.
________________________________________________________________
I found out that you exchange what you are using (your weapons or whatever) when you right click in inventory.

So either right click in inventory to exchange or grab and drop in weapon spot or armor spot to use.

Today I filled my inventory for the firt time and had to dump some things. The big question is: How do you determine what is valuable and what in cheap for dumping purposes? The only time a price shows up is when you are in the merchant menu. This is a problem when you are in the middle of nowhere surrounded with dead kobold carcases and loot that doesn't fit.

Even when you are selling, how do you determine what is most useful? Do you go by the price, the level, or the bonuses on the weapon/armour?

I was also curious about the sets of armour that you could get. You get bonuses if you get a complete set. Has anyone found any parts yet for their character? I haven't and am now on level 7. This game reminds me much about Divine Divinity. It also had armour sets.

Another curious thing: has anyone noticed the 3rd "paragraph" in the green writing on the load screen? It is just a single line but it is always funny and different every time you load.

I set my inventory to only pick up valuable items. Then I used the chests that are littered all over to store my goods till I wanted to trade. I am almost to the end and I have never purchased a thing so I learned I didn't need to sell a lot.

Ana

Yes that green writing is funny most of the time but yesterday it said something about doing something to the memory which I didn't find very amusing. Wish I had written down what it said because I can't remember the exact saying. I will the next time I see it!

If you are talking about the red chests BrownEyedTigre then yes those are your personal storage and they will appear in every major town or city.

I usually go by what an item has as to armor number or how much damage it has Rowan. Whatever I can't use I sell. If I can't use it yet then I store it in my chest for later.

I keep any pendents or rings or jewels because the Blacksmith can put it into your weapons or armor for more damage or protection. The armor or weapons will have one or more box shapes on it and that tells you that you can add the above.

I haven't found any sets yet but later who knows. Wonder how you know if you have a set piece? In Titan Quest I have several people that have sets and it seems its always hard to find that final piece.

Today I saw a line that was definitely funny to the developers. I think they enjoy teasing us while we wait. The line was: "Deleting unique items, please wait..." I almost heard my self screaming. "Nooooooooooooo!!!" I haven't seen the same line twice yet. It's different each time.


I'm at level 13 now and still haven't found any set pieces. If you look at the Wiki walkthrough posted above by oldman it describes special sets for each type of character. I wish they would tell when they show up...probably toward the end of the game.

I experienced a strange bug in the game. I was in a cave and became stuck on the ground near a wall. I couldn't move with the mouse nor with the WASD keys. I was worried that if I exited the game that it would save me in a stuck position and that would be the end of the game for me. However, when I exited and began anew I was outside the cave. I can't explain it but I was grateful and let out a big sigh of relief.

I'm glad you are unstuck I wonder if other folks had the same problem

Rowan it happens frequently. I have some quest dudes I can't get rid of also even though the quest is over because a glitch happened in the middle. Now I have tagalongs I just let get killed right away so I can stop looking at them.

Also, do not try and take a screenshot of the concert if you get to see it. You will miss the concert. I can post my screenshot if you want to see it but I unfortunately never got to hear it although I got a great pic.

Ana

Hi-

I love the green lines, and I have never found one that is the same. Neat thing the company did.

maggie

I am need of advice please. I bought the best horse for my Seraphin it took alot of saving to get the $60,000 but finally I was able to ride into areas where walking was too dangerous for me. I was attacked and died something I had never done thus far at level 18. I appeared back to the last monolith save and I found out the hard way my horse was left behind when I died.

I am so bummed out I quit playing the game because there is no way I can enter into that dangerous area again on foot without dying.


Here is my question, every time we die and have a mount will it remain in the area we died in? I had assumed the mount would be ressurected also. Is there a way I can die and not lose my mount?

If I buy another horse what happens to my favorite horse if I could find it? How can I get my valuable mount to return to me? I looked in my inventory where the mounts are listed and it is empty.

Whistling doesn't do anything because where I died with the horse is very far away. in advance for whoever takes the time to answer my questions.

Hi Sherryah,

I'd say that your horse probably died when you did. Normally when you resume a game (or die and are returned to your last activated monolith (I think that's what it's called) then your horse is right there with you. So.............if your horse isn't there when you continue a game he probably died.

You can outrun enemies on foot in difficult areas. You might want to backtrack to areas you've already been and do more side quests to increase your levels. I don't know how far along you are but I always looked for anyone with a ? over their head and did all of those quests and got strong enough to handle the enemies ahead.

I would wait for any expensive horses because there will be a mount quest ahead where you can obtain a tiger and they are pretty strong and difficult to kill.

Need help with the mount quest give a holler.

I am level 17 and haven't come across a mount yet. I'm playing a dryad and I know they don't have horses or tigers to ride. I know they eventually get a type of lizard.

I've backtracked to explore some areas I've missed before and enemies are fairly easy at the moment. Those goblins are so annoying and cowardly. If I kill a few of them the rest crouch in the grass hoping I don't see them. Then as soon as I pass them they try to hit me in the back. The combo spells work great in a crowd.

Does anyone know when the armour set pieces start to appear? Haven't found a single one yet.

Rowan the set pieces seem to appear randomly. You may run accross them and not realize that they are a set piece. The names of the set items are in green. What I did was, as I would find them, store them in a chest until I had a complete set. They may not appear normally until the silver play after you've completed a game and are at level 35 or higher.

I used a cheat, after I had played through most of the characters that got nothing but unique items from every monster killed and in a short time had a complete set and all but one of another. The trouble with the cheat is that you get too much equipment and I had to revert back to normal after I got the items I wanted.

I did find a couple of the set items before the cheat at around level 15 or above.

if you want more detailed information ask and I'll look it up. (I think I have it saved somewhere)

Thanks Oldman, I didn't know my horse could die! Please tell me where I can get the tiger mount for my seraphin? Also I just don't understand how to use the combo no matter how many times I have read the directions. Is there a more simple way for me to understand how to use it? On the left where the sword is ontop of the sheild in the big circle. Nothing is in the 2nd circle but I thought that was where a bow would go if I used one right?

last question I want to start another character but will it wipe out my level 18 seraphin by starting another game? Will the origional game still be saved?

Nice to hear from you.
