Bleh, right when I thought I'd finally solved it: I'm back to being stuck.

Spoiler

Presented the book to the Duke, Septimus, Esmerelda, and Aureus. All of them dismissed it. I even went to the dungeon and spoke to the mortician, but he wasn't helpful.

Really not sure where to go from here. I hope I didn't bug the quest by doing things out of order. Not sure I'd have it in me to play through all of this again, even thought I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Spoiler

You sound like you didn't search Jake's murder scene completely.

This is a stupid question but is there a way to heal your part without potions? The vendor in town doesn't sell a minor healing skill book so I'm not sure what to do beyond drink hundreds of potions.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Is there an ini file I can edit?

 

[Sentenza]

Plant him next to him and have the trait "Opportunist". You'll love that they ignore you.

Yep, having two warriors with the "opportunist" perk between enemies and their target translates in fun and free kills.

Outch, why didn't you start with it?
If you reload your game, the vendor will have a new randomized loot. I'd abuse it till you have a healing spell. Very useful both, in- and outside of battle. My Mage has level 2 heal my Mage/Ranger has level 1, and my Melee has the warrior heal spell (which heals actually the most).

I think you need to unpack the .pak files first; not sure tho.

You can rest on beds/bedrolls (lie down) and you can eat food. You might also want to try to get the first aid spell for mens-at-arms.

Jahan, your mage companion, found above the Mayors house in the library, comes with a minor heal spell. And the Enchantress in the marketplace should sell heal spellbooks.

Try reloading. The enchanter chick should hold a minor heal book.

Eat food, especially those that have been combined from base ingredients.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I've made a mobile kitchen, but I can't seem to set it down. Is there some sort of special requirement?

You can drop it on the ground with the menu, but after that you can't pick it up again. Must be bugged.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Ah alright. Weird.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Thanks guys. I've tried reloading for the hydro vendor but her inventory doesn't seem to change (she always have 3 major regenerations and 0 minor healing), seems like the man at arms is my only option as I don't want the mage in my party.

 

[loganclaws]

It's stupid that you can't see your coop partner's dialogue choices when they are talking to npcs.

 

[Noaloha]

Come back to the vendor after a level-up.
Edit: if the co-op dialogue thing really bothers you, open your journal during the conversation and read the dialogue section. It updates in real time with both sides of the conversation.

 

[Grief.exe]

Starting today, so excited.

Is it possible to get stuck at homestead hall? I took the teleporter there, and was told a new portal opened to the hall of heroes, but now I can't figure out how to get back to town. The only portals here are the one to the hall of heroes and to the observatory unless I'm missing something.

Right of the weaver of time, for the physical portal iirc.

You can hire henchmen if you don't like the companions.

It's a button on the middle right side of the screen.

 

[Fuz]

For what I noticed so far, absolutely not.
Of course, just to be sure I avoided leaving too valuable stuff into them. But the game seems to keep track of items indefinitely.

Thanks.

But I will probably never feel safe -_-

 

[Tenck]

How do you access the soundtrack from steam? Do I have to boot up the game whenever I want to listen to it?

I don't know what that is or where it's located.

I went into the Documents side of things but it's just a bunch of lsx files? I don't know.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Finally started playing this. God this is fantastic.

 

[Terra_Ex]

It's in the game directory, in a subdirectory called CollectorsEdition iirc.

 

[Crazy_maniac]

It's stupid that you can't see your coop partner's dialogue choices when they are talking to npcs.

They're working on a fix for this, when your partner is going into a dialogue alone you'll be able to click a button that pops up the dialog UI and read the history and see the choices being made in real-time.

Mage has healing spell.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

In the black cove, there is a level 20 chest by a bridge. I read online that you need a key but I have yet to find it and I've been through the whole cave with alt held down. Anyone know where this key is? Also, is it just a treasure chest, I can skip that if need be?

Also, I hope the game gets harder soon. Once I hit around level 6, the challenge has really dropped.

This is exactly what I wanted. Awesome, thanks.

In the meantime, just use the Journal as mentioned above. From Crazy_maniac's description it sounds like it has exactly the same functionality, just a little clunkier in UI terms (also, two button presses instead of one. Eek!).

Congratulations by the way, Larian Person. You folks have conjured up quite the special something.

That sounds great, it's really the only thing that bugs me about playing co-op.

 

[KhayN]

guys, can i play this game multiplayer with another random guy?

 

[OmegaDL50]

You could but the person who joins will simply take control over one of the Hosts characters rather bringing his own into the game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So... wait, what am I missing with the murder quest?

Spoiler

I went to evelyn's secret cave, killed off all the cultists, and didn't seem to find anything unique there. Now I have no idea how to progress.

Did you....kill her? :x

 

[Antiwhippy]

I've got no idea. I don't think she was there?

Might need to go back.

I just wish you could make the action window that displays it not be opaque. It's hard to see it sometimes due tot he background. I just want an option for a solid color of some sort for the action window. Aesthetics be damned.

 

[Shahadan]

I've got no idea. I don't think she was there?

Might need to go back.

She's in a separate room, you have missed it. There are stairs on the right of the big room full of cultist members.

Steam is downloading another patch apparently. They're pretty quick with this. We get one patch a day!

 

[Crazy_maniac]

For those interested, we're in the process of making a video tutorial series on the Divinity Engine Toolkit.

First up is creating and shaping your own level. Next up: scripting!

New patch

Hello everybody,

As we enter the weekend, here's an update that should solve several problems some of you have been experiencing.

- Fix for wrong alignments (this should also fix existing save games). This for instance solves the problems with the bone totem in the Luculla Mines.
- Local chat is auto-enabled
- Greatly reduced memory usage for Win32 systems. This should lead to more stability.
- Fixed crash when a destroyed item was still in the skillbar
- Fixed a rare crash on level swap
- Fixed a crash when crafting in two inventories at the same time
- Fixed a crash when disarming trap while it detonates
- Fixed a crash for fleeing while invisible
- Fixed graphical artefacts on characters on the Mac version
- Fixed low-res terrain textures
- Fixed crash in multiplayer menu
- Disabled casting a skill when another is busy
- Teleport will now ignore the teleported item for AI grid checks
- No combines anymore in the trade window
- Added Staff of Magus to all henchman
- Fixed rare crash when summoning
- Better feedback for item combinations
- Fixed fleeing with a summon
- Changed font color in dialogs for better readability

Divinity Engine Toolkit changes

- Fixed some exceptions
- Fixed terrains not showing up when loading levels from the main game

We also posted 7 tutorial videos on the Larian forums that will help you understand the things you can do with the toolkit. More videos are incoming.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Added Staff of Magus to all henchman

Finally, not that I use that attack much.

 

[Terra_Ex]

New patch

Hooray for new tutorial videos. Of course it'll probably me weeks to finish the campaign and get to modding stuff based on my current rate of progression but it's just so good and the combat is so deeply satisfying I've gotta savour the experience.

Nice, I will be watching those in a bit.

ed: Atmosphere triggers include day/night cycles? someone should get on that.

Just an FYI, sounds like they are targeting next week for new Companion AI according to the forums:

Just beat a boss by killing all his lackeys while one character talked to him. I love this game.

 

[Shahadan]

Do we have to donwload the editor somewhere else or is it in the gamefiles?
