Hi Jean and Zanthia and Tamia

You all are moving right along.
Oh how missed my stones Jean, I understand that trek back each time is awful.

Hope you're enjoying the game as much as I did.

Ingie

Hi again. Ingie, aren't they doing well? Tempted to start over again while I wait for t'other game.

Not really enjoying NWN. Actually am not really getting much time to play this week.

Feel for you Zanthia about the level 3 areas not having baddies. In the last two acts most level 3's were empty for me - such a let down to walk in well loaded with potions and carrying good weapons and armour - then finding nothing! And, of course, no levelling up after all that effort.

Shall I reload it, sha'n't reload it? What's the betting that the moment I get into it again Morrowind will arrive?

Good gaming.

Alice

You can play BD again but only if you promise to drop everything when Morrowind arrives!

Whew! Just finished BF 4 in Act 4. I haven't tried it here in BD. Has anyone used it?

Jean

Jean - I used the polymorph in D.D. and had great fun but shied away from it in B.D. Can't think why!

If I remember correctly I was either level 33 or 34 before the end scene. Had no problem with that.

Tamia - you can be sure I will drop everything and start Morrowind as soon as it arrives. To date the only RPG's I have played have been D.D/Sacred/B.D. - unless Mystery of the Druids counted as an RPG. Can I relate Morrowind to any of those or is it something different again?

Alice

Well, it is and it isn't. You have quests and spend points and develop your character but it is so much more open ended. There are dozens of different groups you can join and do quests for. There are only a couple that you can't be a member of at the same time. So I think it goes beyond any other RPG.

I'm still in Act 2. I'm at level 20 now. However, I'm leaving on Monday for a vacation in Oregon for a week so I'm sure Zanthia will be way ahead of me by the time I get back.

Tamia - have a wonderful holiday.

Luv

Alice

I remember that Jean!!! Too funny. I didn't use the spell much in DD, and not at all in BD - no particular reason, just enjoyed the visual effects of others more.
I ended the game at level 32 or 33, can't remember, but I didn't do a lot of the BFs. Sounds like you're just about through!
For anyone who didn't buy the fanpack from Digital Jesters - the music is outstanding!!! Mostly stuff from DD, I think.

Threads, I think the difference in Morrowind is that you could be playing it the rest of your life. The graphics are so stunning, and the choices are so many that sometimes it is a bit daunting, but I will bet that you have a great time ahead of you!

Tamia, have a great time in Oregon. you are ahead of me now but surely i will be ahead of you by the time you get back. currently just turned level 19. maybe even get to starting act 3.

alice, morrowind is very different from DD and sacred. it is similar only in the sense that they are all single player games so you will be used to the way the game handles combat. combat in morrowind will be the easiest of them all. you get so strong so quickly in the game. one thing you haven't seen is the character creation options like you will see in morrowind. if you like magic you cna also make your own spells-- as strong or as weak as you want along with your own magical items.
there is so much to do in this game. you can literally play for a ton of hours and not even touch the main quest. it is a great game. you can download mods to improve the game in so many different ways. a few are official but thousands are fan made.

Zanthia, Nickie and et al.

You are getting me sooooo excited, I don't know how to wait for the game to arrive.

Thanks - Alice

Well, I plugged back into BD since I couldn't progress with it before due to the age of my old
'puter, but I'm back again to the Imp Village.
I wish I could get Morrowind to work on the new
machine. I just knew this new one would make it work without a problem. Everything is new and up to date so why am I having this trial by fire?

HEEELLLPPPP! I sure hope some of you are still reading this thread.

I'm at level 4 in the Academy and have been told to open a rift. I have the book of coordinates and the wand. How in the world do I use them to open a rift?

Jean

Hi Jean,
Just click on the wand while it is in inventory.
A box will come up, saying you can now open the rift to Rivellon. Click on (command the wand to open a rift to Rivellon).

I think the Academy sure was a confusing place, but it doesn't take much to confuse me.
Kay

Hi Kay:

When I click on the wand nothing happens. I'll try it again this evening, but I don't think it worked for me.

Jean

Hi Jean

Ingie

Jean, I went back and replayed this part to see exactly what I did.
Have you opened the first rift yet? When the instructor tells you to open the first rift, click on the wand to open it. Close inventory and then click on the rift to go through. Go back and talk to the instructor again and he will tell you to close the rift. Go back and click on the rift to close it.

After you close it, talk to the instructor again and he will tell you the Rannaar Elder wants to see you. Go to the bottom room and the Raanaar Elder is on the floor, click on him and he will write the new coordinates for Revellon in your book.
DK says you can open a rift and go there now.
Hope this helps!
Kay

Thanks, Ingie and Kay. I'll give it a try tonight when I get home. Maybe I didn't click on the wand right. I did try to move it into my sword slot, but it wouldn't stay there. Maybe clicking on it does the trick.

Am I supposed to do anything with the teleporters in the area before going through the rift? I don't see any way to get in to them.

Jean

Finished! What a strange ending! What a great game. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " /> The ending left an opening for a sequel. I sure hope they go about doing one. I don't want to say anymore here to ruin it for others still playing.

I enjoyed every minute. Except for the academy and one or two spots, most of the game was pretty easy to figure out. I'm going to be walking around in a daze for a few days. It's always hard to leave a game.

Jean

Congrats Jean,

And I enjoyed the game so much-DK is a riot in some cases and situations, just loved it.

Ingie

congratulations jean <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " /> so what's next for you

i still have a way to go as i just started act 3.

Zanthia,

Wondering, what do you think of the game now that your character has developed more?

Ingie

Thanks Zanthia and Ingie! I'm going to be playing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban next. I might also load Journey to the Center of the Earth so I can have two types of games to play in case Harry gets too hard at times.

Jean

YAYYYYYY Jean! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " /> It really was fun, wasn't it? I was just like that, didn't really feel like putting in a new game for a while...

Ok, I'm back from Oregon. Crater Lake was absolutely beautiful! And so were the caves!

Anyway, I'm back into my game and I'm still in Act 2 looking for a grey fruit which will help cure the imps. Any hints as to what area it's located in?

Tamia,

You should find the grey Quisirisi fruit in the upper NE section of the Dead Forest
