Okay, I'm loaded!
Question. M. did you load the patch? I didn't, do I need to?
LorLor, I chose medium, thought easy might be too easy
J.B. and M. What level did you play it on?
Oh, what nice creatures there are, I got killed twice so far and I just barely started.
Bets

You are REALLY going to need to be loaded ) playing on medium. Easy is very difficult. And Ive played it 3 times already. I never knew there was a patch for the game. I never encountered a problem where I needed a patch. I recommend you start over and set the game level down a notch.

I think I will. I haven't been able to get past those creatures in that one room downstairs.
How are you liking Forever Worlds. I just loaded it this morning but won't be able to start it until tomorrow evening. Bill and I are playing it together.
Bets

I am enjoying Forever Worlds. It's quite bizzare! I cant figure why everyone is having such a hard time getting it to run. It plays fine for me. I am going to try setting it up on my computer with Win98 and see what happens. However I read a few post of some having difficult running it even on XP. Go figure!

Oh, I am so jealous! I wanna play, I wanna play, I wanna play! I have to get though this shift then I can load and check it out. I'm going to start crusing for a W/T right now!!

Lorlor

Several W/T; some easier to follow than others.
ign has one, but I found it tough to follow.

Standing Stones has the best W/T, I believe:

I installed the patch (I always look for patches for these less than new games). I believe I found it at EA Games.

The creatures in the Greenhouse/Conservatory are called Howlers and that won't be the last time you meet them. If you walk through their blood it leaves foot prints (temporarily).

Need lots of ammo and health packs from now on.

I'm in! I must have taken a half an hour to read the journal. About the patch, it was listed on the main install page so I went ahead and used it. I figure it couldn't hurt. Thanks for the W/T sites MDAMLADY. I found 2 (1 of which is not complete), but I will be checking out those. (Research, research, research!)
I haven't ran into to any physical combat yet (just rats), I've only just made it into Jeremiah's room.
One of my W/Ts mentions a flashback right before you first enter the mansion of someone hanging from a lamp pole just at the entrance. The Scrye stone is suppose to be used to see this but I can't get anything to show when I active the stone. Any ideals anyone? Also, I picked up a health pack from outside an upstairs door but how do I get into my inventory? The manual says Enter to use it but I haven't figured out how to get into it yet. Is it a combination of keys to access it as I've pressed everything but the windows key. I've gone in and changed the controls to what I think what maybe easier for me, but it will take time to get into the "swing" of things as with any new game. I'll be back, bwaaa haaa haaa ha. . .

Lorlor

MDAMLADY, on a quick side note. I picked up some natural snacks (banana chips) at my local health food store last week and they come from your neck of the woods. Some place called Woodburn Country Store on Brighton-Bunker Hill Rd. Love 'em!

Lorlor

Yep, Brighton-Bunker Hill Rd. about 1 mile from me. It's a long road.

About the health packs they automatically get into inventory and raise your health accordingly. Just pass over them (sometimes jumping onto things). I don't remember pressing ENTER.

The man hanging outside will only be seen if you're standing close enough. You'll learn to use this Scyre Stone a lot. Lights up dark corners and helps you see things more clearly (when needed).

Get the cheat codes, I believe I couldn't have got through this mayhem without them.

The Inventory is weapons and spells only. There are no other inventory items that you have to hold on to.

The info scrolls and book pages will automatically go to the right place.

Go slowly at first so you can get used to the controls and how to scroll through each inventory item. You don't want to be caught with your guard down or unable to get to the proper weapon when the boogies come to get you.

Thanks MDAMLADY. Every bit helps. I have the next 2 days off so I'm hoping to put some serious time in on the game.

Lorlor

I'll be hanging around for info or to hold your hand or hold the flyswatter just in case.

I'm going to start mine again on easy as JB suggested. Hope to get some done on it today. Susan is coming over and we are going to reserve the church for her wedding, so that will shoot down the morning. This weekend is free, so hoping to really get going on this.
LorLor, you are going to get way ahead of me.
Just wait till school is out. May 11 is my last day.
Bets

MDAMLADY & Johnboy, Helppp!!! I keep getting my head bitten off and eaten. Eoooouuuuu. I've just left the chapel area (phantom priests) and am trying to go down the hallway past the playroom. The priests have zapped my health down to 38 and I'm not strong enough to handle the 4 howlers I run into in the hallway. How do I activate the amplifiers?? Also when I run into someone and there isn't a cutscene I can't get the talk icon that shows up on the lower right of my screen to work. I actually killed a maid (boy, I would not want to work in this place!!) by trying different keys to try to talk to her.
Flutist, I may get ahead of you in the game but it certainly sounds like your social life is much, much better then mine. Are you and Susan going to bid on that wedding dress?

Lorlor

Lor Lor you cant talk to anyone in the game. You activate the amplifiers by clicking on the left mouse key. If I remember correctly you scroll through the weapons with the c v keys. Mdamlady Is this correct? I am at work so I cant check it out to be sure. Isnt it gross when they eat your head?

Haven't gotten to that yet. Probably tomorrow or Fri. Just as well, it might give me nightmares, or daystallions, whichever.

Use the cheat code:

Press the "TAB" key and type in:

That should get you through this bit.

Woo Hoo, we're rocking now!! This will come in very handy. Thanks!! I'm now being snatched into the floor by floating squid men and boy does it look painful.

Lorlor

Avoid these guys if possible.

Kill only if in a doorway or if absolutely necessary because they regenerate.

Are you at Oneiros?

I'm soooooo jealous. I wanna be where you are LorLor(whiny)(pout,pout).
Bets

Bets Something will come up. It seems it always does with you. You are so popular!

Weeeeelllll, I do have an orchestra concert tomorrow night. Other then my usual housecleaning and laundry. Yuck!
Bets

Yeh! Yeh! Too popular! :kiss:

Bets I bet people can eat off your floor the way you clean! I havent cleaned since I hurt my back 3 years ago. I open up my doors and turn fans on to blow the dust outside. I do mop daily cause I have dogs and they go in the yard and come inside as they please. I wash clothes twice a week and run the dishwasher about 3 times a week. Most my furniture can be written on. You know that spray that gets dust off silk flowers, its my best friend. I spray everything with it!
