Fate: Gates of Dawn is your game!

Fate is the best blobber I have ever played, and the biggest, by a factor of 10 or more What a game. It isn't hard to find a copy and an emulator to run it.

maybe after grimoire.

This brings some fond memories of W7. My first playthrough ever, when I hadn't had the foggiest what was going on, at one point this little yellow face appeared next to my character's portrait. I had no idea what it is but it progressively changed into nausea, blindness, insanity, petrify and death. I concluded my char was diseased. But in W7 you could buy a Cure Disease scroll (the spell itself was very high-level iirc so you went without it for half the game).

Here clerics and sages can learn cure disease as early as level 4. You can also buy Galen Apples in ACME machines (there is a large pile of tokens buried in a pool next to the temple entrance in Crowl). However, if you ended up paralyzed as well, you can't eat them, and curing paralysis might be even harder (or does sound mind affect it?). With disease off, everything else dissipates over time.

LOL, Cleve just turned on AutoUpdate with the Update/Patch that breaks saves.

This is going to be a bit of a shitstorm, the first thing I would do in his place would be downgrading back to 1.2.0.5 and figuring out another way, instead he "finally" turned on the AutoUpdate feature of Steam for everyone's Saves to break.

One more thing: I think you should bite the bullet and design actual armor for the rag dolls. The green is clashing, I'd rather you go with a black ragdoll, and then fill it in with white as your character gets armor. Green is just... glaring.

Digressing back to main topic, has anyone figured out lock-picking?

 

[Leitz]

And why does it take like 30 seconds to load up the title screen which is a single bitmap?

Even stranger is that it loads a lot faster in window mode.

Regarding Searching, is it "necessary" to face and search every piece of generic scenery (i.e. the flat tree tiles, generic dungeon walls) to find useful things? Or just more "unique" things, like bushes and water?

Just keep Detect Secrets up and start looking when it flashes.

Protip - don't search at once, keep walking in and out until someone in party will actually spot it. You'll get a scout skill increase. Degenerate gameplay FTW.

Define "necessary" and please, for an accurate answer provide your autism level in a scale from 0 to 1.

What I did was I saved the game in another folder so Steam wouldn't fuck with it, downloaded the depot from 18 hours ago and pasted it in the directory. Should keep your saves safe.

One more suggestion: auto-organize button for inventory. Inventory belt gets crowded fast. Would be nice to have all my potions in one place, all my keys in another.

I backed up too after the first few Patches went out, still playing with 1.2.0.1 and didn't have any "major" problem so far, I've set all the files that need Update to Read-Only trying to prevent it, if that doesn't work I'll try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/611h5e/guide_how_to_download_older_versions_of_a_game_on/

Wow. I thought I was fairly clear what I meant by "necessary" with the "... to find useful items" part.

You might be more concerned about your level, and maybe reference mondblut's response to me for an example of how to be civil and non-condescending.

 

[Mynon]

User reviews have dropped to 72% positive, dangerously close to switching to "Mixed".

Looks like SA and Broken Forum are putting more valiant effort into this than Codex!

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

Just download the w/e version of the depot you like best thru the Steam console (as described in that reddit post) and copy the folder somewhere outside of Steam, it won't be auto-updating this way.

I never meant that as an insult, bro. Myself, when playing a blobber, rate as 100% autistic, and need to get every item. That's what I meant.

My wife works with autistic kids so I've never really understood why some people use it as some kind of insult towards someone else, so I tend to get a little more ... irritated ... when I see it happen.

I accept your explanation and apologize for my overreaction.

 

[Nixheb]

I see that Grimoire is having a strange effect on the local denizens.

People apologize for overreacting now.

 

[ga♥]

Next step is ?ZEP? getting hired by Golden Era. Mark these words. It will happen.

Might have something to do with auto-update breaking save files.

 

[Bladderfish]

Feckin hell. Cleve, use the beta opt-it feature of Steam so you can push out experimental builds to those who want to risk pain! That way you can get some proper testing before vomiting these new builds onto us poor saps.

There are no fucking "pointers" in the save file.

What an ass.
