As for the texture setting, find the code (assembly) that's responsible for it with a debugger and change it
As noted, this can just force an overmatched OS to play sounds, which, for me, meant more crashes outside. Inside a dungeon was ok.
So I went ahead and moved to Win 7 64-bit, having a 07 PC... It really was an easy upgrade. While the game is stable now, it seems to rely more heavily on my GFX card (Nvidia 460) to run, rather than the OS. (the fan kicks on when it had not before).
I...don't remember a one-handed axe relic being there. Might just not have paid attention to it as it was the end, but i do remember the 2-handed Mace being a bit earlier on in the above dungeon.
Personally, rather than try to implement some really wonky aggro mechanics, the "tank" classes should probably have taken more along the lines of League Of Legends, where Tanks are the characters with stuns, attack debuffs and so on.
Identifying items cost 300 per item on warrior. The spell costs ~700 to learn. Identify three items and you've made a profit already. If you identify items through the shopkeeper you'll run out of cash. You won't have money to train or buy potions.
Everything costs more on Warrior (and you sell for less)- you simply never have enough money to buy mast/GM trainings/spells until the end of Act III, and even then that depends on how much you buy your gears.
If they wanted a defender class they should've looked at Etrian Odyssey to see how it should work in a tb party blobber.
I didn't particularly like that handling. In the various EO games, either they were dead weight during the main-game and absolutely required during post... or they were 100% vital if you didn't want to roll over as soon as you hit the first boss but since only ONE class in the entire game is built around tanking, that kind of limits party comp in that department already.
I won't get into how viable they were in particular instalments, my point is that they actually work as a class that can defend your party which is kind of a basic thing when you introduce a "defender" class.
I was wrong, it's the penultimate dungeon (I thought Tomb of Terror was the last one). And yeah I got the 2H mace not long after. There's no 1H axe relic in any of the shipwrecks, I explored them all.
Ah that is possible! Good to know, thanks.
Because early on in the game, when you're buying spells and training skills, it seems like you will need a lot of money. Then you start swimming in money and don't know where to spend it, since leveling up doesn't require training. I still find it convenient to be able to identify on the spot, especially to start using relics as soon as I find them. Thing is, if you get Identify ASAP you will have it early on when you need it most. If you wait, you'll get it when you're already filthy rich and don't need it as much.
I think there is a bug where if you have a quest-hireling he cannot come with you.
