ANUNITU'S PROFILE

Glad to hear it DG,but real life is very important and has a way of grabbing a lot of you down time. I can be patient because i know it will be worth the wait. It gives me time to study monster behavior,and work up some strategies to not get killed by some of them. Even some of the ones that seem no problem can catch you off guard at times. Also it gives me time to know the ones with the best steals on them. The green dragon is a favorite,I thought I had it down to a science in fighting it,and then it killed me several times,or made me escape before it finished me. I was thinking about the escape thing,and remembered a game where escaping had a price. If you ran you dropped a random amount of gold. That might be something to add to the play.

Caught a bug in the castle while stealing from the Suraph,this is in chapt 2 and is the side quest castle just before you go through the second pass where you fight the two rogues. Here are the details from the crash pop up.

Script "Battle_stealskill" line 1043:nomethoderror occured undefined method "Icon_index" for nil:nilclass

This doesn't always happen,sometimes the steal is ok,so it seems you might have two things to steal,and one brings up this error. It closes the game after you clear the message. Hope this helps,I have found that it is a repeatable crash,so at least it isn't one of those bugs that will drive you crazy trying to track it down. The steal that works is a feather BTW.

I am playing bata 3.2 BTW.

I found something interesting,while fighting I did a block,and saw that while blocking you regain some hit points and SP,this led me to use the block as a way to maintain my chars status while fighting. It might turn out to be a good way while fighting,but with higher enemies it might not work as well. As I go forward I will post if this proves helpful in later fights.

I was wondering because I have just started the second game if there are "callable entities" in this second game. In LW 1 I found these were very useful in certain fights. I really like the class set up,it allows a lot of room for testing different combos and as far as surprises,that really worked for me in LW 1,I was caught off guard a few times. Makes for a much more exciting game. I am going to go play and get to know the flow of the game for a while.

I really have to say this is a great game. I am an older(66) rpg gamer,and this is actually a very challenging game. I have played commercial games that were easier to grind through and became boring after a while. One aspect I find that makes the game great is the monsters ability to catch you off guard. I have had to more than once change my tactics in the middle of a battle,or stop to rethink my methods of attack. I myself believe that this is the mark of an outstanding game. Monsters that I thought I had down as to weakness would over and over surprise me,and catch me off guard. I am a hobby assembler programmer, and I can see that a great deal of logic and skill went into the aspects of the monsters and how they attack. This is not a simple thing to program,and I am very impressed with DarkGaia's skills in this respect. I fought the Rift dragon and even at max level(99) it was not an easy battle to win. Even some of the minor bosses were harder than I had expected. When I fought the last battle I really had to push my gaming skills to the max to beat Castorah(sp) I have probably played over a thousand RPG's over the years both minor and major and this game has really made my day. I consider this a real gem in the world of RPG gaming.
