    Thanks! About the Orcs lair, have you found the lever there? Is it a bug in the (GOG?) game or wrong information in the official cluebook? Or it is really only can be solved with Transversalis spell (which would be a VERY weird game design decision imho)? UPD. My bad again probably. One...

    I have beat the game. Some minor spoilers below Recently I said that I pity that I used a walktrough at some point. Now I am not. OK… Almost. With 7 map pieces I was wondering through the global map, trying to be a “complitionist”, and find two other pieces. I spoke with unicorn earlier and...

    You have reminded me... After playing Gabriel Knight 1 a few years ago i came up with "a rule of three hours". If i can't proceed after 3 hours of my own trying i have a right to watch a walkthrough. I have broken my rule here unfortunately.

    Ah, yeah, thank you, the thing is i usually hate spoilers. Just needed to vent. I feel stupid now, after hours of unicorn searching i have started to look for dark druid Gorah and Dark mage ancient ruins and couldn't find them. I have searched all the territory near Orvil and Thoss for hour...

    On the road from Felsteyn to Hermits lake i have met a unicorn, talked with it and he had promised me to return with a map piece or smth. I then have tried route back to Felsteyn, Phexcaer, Upper Orcam, basically everywhere, also walked around lake a several times. Drawned several times in a...

    UPD. It wasn't a bug. I just didn't pay necessary attention to the fact that in Mysterious cave in Prem, when you are hit by rocks - you loose time in days. BTW, Huge amount of XP there was a bug or feature? And last (i hope) question, is there a time limit in original BoD? Some say you have...

    Yes, indeed, it eliminated hunger and thirst. And hunger is normally eliminated by foodpacks, the problem is in water and thirst. It appears after some time, even if i, as i said, have been to tavern/inn or bought new waterskins. Didn't have this problem until Prem, where i got by boat (so no...

    One more question. In DOSbox (from GOG) the only way to refill water is while camping in the wild? I have found myself with characters in deep thirst, when i was not camping for a rather long time. I have tried to eat in Inns and drink in Taverns, to buy new waterskins in shops - no help.

    I guess in winter (only in winter?) you should wear winter robe?

    With what armour and shields have you equipped your melee warriors? I have read an opinion that: "Leather is pretty much the best armor option in all categories unless you have a high enough skills to offset the penalties. Robes are functionally same as a shirt. Don't use Extravagant robe...

    Thanks for your answer! So it is rounds, not even hours? Yeah, i got it, but i read somewhere that aggressive mode doesn't bring much better number of successful attacks. I also didn't notice any better attack count. It is strange how in this game melee characters almost always miss... And...

    Hi! Few more questions. 1) How long poisoned weapon stays poisoned? 2) Is there any use in Agressive/Careful attacks? 3) I have managed to made some weapons magical in the Temple of Ingrimm, but i can't understand what effect it gives. I hoped it won't break now, but... no, it breaks :-D

    Thanks again! Yeah, i know that it is not DnD : ) I have read manual, tips from cluebook and some guides, but i was overwhelmed with information. Actually the only big thing i missed is a damage calculation formula. I play a DOSbox version, so unfortunately a number of advises are not...

    Thanks for all your advises! I have recently started Blade of Destiny. Only at the beginning. clearing the Academy Tower in Thorwal. 2500 exp. I have now some new questions 1) Do i need Strength to better attack with missile, throwing and pointed weapons? Being used to DnD i left Rogue with 8...

    What was the worst? I read they fixed smth in Unity remake and it is even not over polluted with bugs now.
