Holy hell. The bandits in the starting forest make a sound that is fucking obnoxious and enervating. Are the sound effects this bad for the whole game? I'm seriously considering turning the game down just for this. Jesus Christ.

If you can't handle the heat, go back to assfucking your sister in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

That's the most beautiful song in the world and I never tire of hearing the same refrain over and over again. Where else can you get a game where the opponents entertain you with shanty drinking songs while they beat your ass?

You don't find the key, but have to solve a multi-step puzzle in order to acquire the key. It is difficult to give more details without venturing into heavy spoiler territory. This involves having the necessary items, referring to clues in the game and taking the required steps to solve the riddle.

How do you invoke wearable items? I have a ring of polymorph and ring of protection that both have charges that I don't know what they do. I tried USE in every possible situation, in and out of battle. Once an item is equipped, using it doesn't even seem to be an option. The most that happens for me when an item is unequipped is "X invokes Y: Nothing happens". Do you need a high invocation skill for this to work?

They should have a spell in them and work just the same as the resurrection items. And yeah, the invocation skill probably needs to be high enough for it to work.

I've explored everywhere I could in the Snark but im still only at like 70% map completion and I had detect secret up the whole time. I got the tuning fork but Im not sure where to use it. Is there anything else important on this stupid ship?

Also I let Admiral Boondoggle go but now I found out from some mermaid he might have a helmet I need? How do I get that?

The tuning fork lets you free the fairy in Pierre's cabin.

As to where Boondoggle shows up if you let him go, I have no idea. Maybe Waterport.

Does SPD affects only the attack queue, or the usage of the items, e.g instruments, as well?

My multiclassed bard is sitting on ~75 unused skill poinits and I have no idea whether to pump it into speed, or rather some other skills (dunno which ones - probably some STR, since she's feyfolk).

If SPD doesn't affect both spellcasting (like in Wiz 8) and invocation/instruments, then I guess it's useless for bard?

Cleve said that with enough speed, spells can be cast before melee attacks, so it probably applies to instruments too. But if your melee people are fast too, probably not.

I bought this for 1 dollar. Does that make me a bad guy or a good guy?

It makes you a guy too broke to afford it when it came out. Only millennials pretend to agonize over their every decision as if somebody, somewhere, somehow cared.

That leaves you with another two dollars for living expenses this month. Spend it wisely.
