If you bought from Steam but decided to play the DRM-free version, the saves are carried over right?
Spoilers for level 3:

Well, the saves are stored in the My Documents folder anyway, so it shouldn't matter how you launch the game itself.
Fuck sake.
I screamed like a little girl there, was NOT paying attention. Decided to cheese the shit out of it by
opening the door, firing off a spell, shutting the door before the spiders could attack
Edit: I recommend using EVGA Precision X to lock your frame rate to 60, otherwise the game runs at 200 fps on any recent graphics card, which is a complete waste of power.
Are you me? That's exactly the same party I'm using.
wow, I love this game just for that.
:highfives:
Every missed hit means a WASTED hit and that's definitely worth saving the others from damage too.
I did the same at the second iron door. Game constantly shits me up.

Betrayal at Krondor was such a great game. I loved that people would sabotage your food with poison, and stuff like what you said happened. Identifying items, repairing weapons/armor, breaking them, poisoning arrows/swords yourself, the food, the puzzle chests in other languages, it had some great stuff in the game.
And then there were the trap puzzles where you had to push around the spheres and futuristic turrets, plus all of the campy live-action acting in the cut scenes, and Owyn's silly blond wig...
Gah, I'm going to stop with the reminiscing right there -- I have enough old-school RPGs on my plate right now without indulging in an urge to play BaK again.

You can save anywhere, but there is no quick save button.
You can save anywhere you want.
You can save anywhere and on crystals.
Beaten like getting trapped on the room full of spiders!
Huh? This genre has a long and esteemed history with the PC, it feels right at home. Apparently the iPad version hasn't started development yet, so maybe in a few months we'll see it.
Awesome, deserved.
Really fun so far, but i'm just in the second level.
I choose to draw my map, it make me progress really slowly.
What i hate about drawing the map, is that you don't know where to start it.
My first level look really weird, since i pass from right to left and bottom to the up of the sheet. My girlfriend think i'm crazy to do it.

Is it me or is my Rogue kind of useless? I went with the standard party makeup thinking I could use the Rogue for lockpicking and trap disarms, but now all she does is throw a couple of daggers here and there. I'd much rather have another mage in the party. Debating if I should restart since i'm only at floor 2.
Anyone hope the game will get Priests as DLC or something? Also the game needs more Potraits.
You better off getting it on PC bro. Think about mod support and all the custom campaigns that will become available at the very least. You can always double dip on the iPad version.

Finished the first two floors last night and I'm having a blast so far. Etrian Odyssey was my intro to dungeon crawlers, so this is a really fresh and fun experience.
I just gave mine a Spear while working towards getting the "melee from the back-row" ability from 12 in Assassination. That and leading fights with a Dagger throw has helped her stay relevant.

When I was looking at the abilities, attacking from the back row with melee weapons sounded pretty good, so hopefully that pans out for me. It does seem to under-whelm as a class from first impressions, but maybe backstabbing multipliers will be nice too.
Watch it'll turn out for speed runs that a party of 4 rogues all being able to use melee attack and high evade on the front row, all back-stabbing, will probably clear out monsters in record times.
I did feel a bit of a lack of choice when building the party between classes/races as others mentioned, but the small dev team and speed which they made the game are a fair excuse. I'd rather see it expanded down the road... and I hope mouselook lets you turn more than 90 degrees in one motion down the road too.
Great, considering that there were hardly any advertising or exposure for the game on Steam.

What? Preorder was 11.50 on the webpage and now it's 13.50 on Steam...? Reg price is 14.99.
Shit, I'm going to have to go back. Thought I got every secret. Spoiler where the button is?
Yep, where I died the first time. lol
I learned I need to carry antidote vials with me at all times instead of making them on demand.
It's next to the end of the second level.
This game is so good, I'm loving it so far. Right now I'm at 3rd floor and the dungeon just had a massive earthquake. I seriously almost shat my pants.
near the end of 2nd floor there is a gate that says you have to be patient to be able to open. I've waited for like 10 minutes but it's not opening. You think I have to wait longer?
Just face the statue for less than a minute (I think you have to do nothing) and it'll open.

Somebody said there's a bow on the second floor? The hell?
Is loot random by any chance? I'd love a bow if there was one around. I just finished the second floor so must have missed a hidden area or something.

I'm pretty sure loot is not random.
EDIT: Dude was wrong,
EDIT: Dude was wrong,
there is a sling on the second floor and a bow on the third floor.

My current team is a minotaur fighter, a human unarmed rogue, a lizardman archer and a human mage.
Ahh thought as much, will tell it to a friend!

You and me and Kyuur, bro. You and me and Kyuur.
I'm also at work so I can't give better than this but it's
in the area after the teleporter that you needed two keys to unlock (the area that has a shortcut leading back to the secret switch + teleporter "puzzle"). There's a secret switch that opens a door in a previous area, though not that far away
There's
arrows but no Bow. Which is odd, unless you can ... throw arrows
There's a sling?! Damn it >>

got to the second floor. walked around and ended up trapping myself with an enemy and died D:
My god! Those phalanx of dead soliders. How the fuck are you supposed to kill them? I think there were like two groups of them near the end of level 2. I ended up just having them follow me back to a trap door and walking off of it so they'd fall. Hope I don't have to deal with them later.

Argh everyone talking about this game now makes me want to buy it. I haven't played a game like this since the 90s. Any reviews up yet?
