SOOTY'S PROFILE

Can I ask if there is any advantage to using a new archer rather than the archer dude you fight with in the first cave? I'll probably restart the game with the newest version when I do get there.

I've been able to replicate the sacrifice bug pretty consistently. All I need to do is to sacrifice, and then focus with Azuar/Kelburn, then end the battle without them attacking. Afterwards, Azuar gets 4 hits and Kelburn 3x4=12 permanently (until I reset the game, or if I use Focus). In fact... I abused this bug to beat the Arena with Azuar :X. Although I probably didn't have to, because I ended up using Reflect to easily beat the two manticores, and also to avoid being blinded. But it certainly made things easier. I had to try a few times, cut really close, but I beat it without having to focus (and therefore losing my x4 strikes).

Edit: Actually, only one of them gets the permanent bonus hits at anytime.

The Azuar facing thing gets resolved after beating Ry'Jin so I don't see it anymore anyway. As for the UP key bug, I had it again and I found out hitting 8 on the numpad (i.e. the up arrow on the numpad) with Numlock on fixes it. Not sure why...

Other bugs which I can remember are: When you observe in the first turn you get with Xandra and multiple opponents use their skills, sometimes you only learn the first one and you miss the others. The isn't the case later on, where I can just observe once and simply not make her do anything else and it still works. Also, maybe Azuar's model should be a little thinner? He 'clips' with the background sometimes.

I'm wondering if you might also post a tab in this page with tables as to the effects of different combinations of things? Particularly for the end-step evolutions, because it's most unlikely that people will replay the entire game just to experiment with THAT. I know I won't ><

Another suggestion regarding the lab? It's kinda odd to see that laboratory so clean after you release all the reavers on the huge mass of troops that were in your way. Which is actually also kinda odd when it happened in the cutscene because after Kelburn pushed the button, more half the troops disappeared! Maybe the rest were eaten up I guess. Blood and gore would be nice, maybe an optional boss to explain the disappearance of all the troops and bodies?

Also... any chance there's a way to make it so that Curse doesn't actually make Azuar look so sad and ill lol. It was quite funny to see Azuar confront Gyle as if he were powered up, and then when the battle begins he looks like he's about to vomit XD

Edit: ANother odd bug. After I chose Immunity to go with my Condemned, my Azuar begins battle with Exhale (with no breath). To fix it I had to inhale something, exhale, then I got back my fight command.

Oh gosh. I saw that cave the FIRST time I went through borderlands, but I never saw it again despite walking around in TestPlay mode. Creepy subconscious trying to protect me from mindless gaming!!!

Edit: Found more bugs. The Cleanse Body skill doesn't seem to learn probably. My Xandra has got to 200% learnt but it still won't be learnt!

Another annoying bug is sometimes the UP key seems to be stuck or something - and you can't press up in menus, and in the map you keep walking upwards. Hitting certain keys on the keyboard seem to solve that or something, I'm not sure how. But it seems potentially game breaking...

Edit: Sanctuaries are completely useless for me. I always accidentally use the one I have on hand because of the stupid popup message. :/

Edit: More bugs. At the ending Kelburn says he killed Ryjin while the other two just watched. He wasn't lying <_< A bug occured and I was able to strike 12 times in a round with Gyle's rune sword, so Azuar and Xandra were basically just focusing and giving haste/rage to Kelburn who did all the damage. Obviously... a bug with sacrifice.

Other bugs include - Azuar's model is bugged after the beam avoiding minigame. He permanently faces south. Also when Ryjin destroys your soul gems... it actually doesn;t seem like it because the game still shows you progressing towards the learning of the skills of the one you still have equipped! In the battle where you're trying to lure Gyle, an enemy agent took over one of my troops in a particular spot and then stopped moving, trapping Gyle who just moved back and forth. Fortunately... I still had leftover troops to make the blocking troop move by getting it to attack into another spot. Another bug is that Mithril equipment never appeared in the shops although Kaen said they were going to be there.

The later skills of Xandra take a little too long to learn via observe even with the relevant hat...

Edit: Oh wait.. There's postgame. And mithril equipment have appeared :D

I feel dumb now, but I'm stuck in borderlands on trying to find the Duke's package. If the puzzle's something to do with the sign it's truly stumped me. I'll probably hit max level fighting borderlands enemies before I find out how to proceed on =(

Edit: I absolutely give up >_< will you tell me how to get past that quest
