        I accidently pressed the space bar in Steadwick and guess what? - Lilths Slave ( Mon 25-Feb-19 11:15:01 ) +1
        
        That will give almost as big a boost to the archer's Disarm skill as the burglar would (n/t) - Peter2 ( Mon 25-Feb-19 11:38:10 )
        
        Of course he steals, but only if you grab the coins when he's present - RubiconIII ( Mon 25-Feb-19 12:31:22 ) +1

        Did I get that right? - Liliths Slave ( Wed 27-Feb-19 05:04:56 ) +2
        
        It's always tricky dealing with double negatives. - Peter2 ( Wed 27-Feb-19 06:02:55 ) +2
        
        Aaargh! - Liliths Slave ( Wed 27-Feb-19 06:51:15 ) +1
        
        Deyja (Spoilerish) - Eric B ( Wed 27-Feb-19 08:42:07 )

        Communication and language - Peter2 ( Thu 28-Feb-19 06:47:24 ) +2
        
        Correction – in the post above, for "translator" please read "interpreter" (n/t) - Peter2 ( Thu 28-Feb-19 07:02:47 )
        That's so true. I absolutely agree with English being hard to use correctly. - Ramillies ( Thu 28-Feb-19 16:32:24 )
        
        "not to" is the way to go, I would say... so you got it right the first time, actually. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Wed 27-Feb-19 15:54:37 )
  - Music - Eric B ( Wed 27-Feb-19 08:28:52 ) +2

        Ragwort - thank you. That's worth knowing (n/t) - Liliths Slave ( Fri 01-Mar-19 05:40:31 )
      - My most favorite track is the one that you hear in Frozen Highlands and Kriegspire... - Ramillies ( Thu 28-Feb-19 17:41:22 ) +2
        
        More thoughts on the MM6 soundtrack - Eric B ( Thu 28-Feb-19 22:57:26 ) +1

        NWC Dungeon - Eric B ( Fri 01-Mar-19 18:03:24 )
        
        You're right. Albinoni might not have written it but - Liliths Slave ( Fri 01-Mar-19 05:57:21 ) link +2
        
        PLEASE IGNORE THE LINK IN THE ABOVE POST - Liliths Slave ( Fri 01-Mar-19 05:59:53 ) +1
        
        works ok, if you shave off the excess 'http' part (n/t) - RubiconIII ( Fri 01-Mar-19 11:11:38 ) +1
        
        Oops! :o (n/t) - Lilths Slave ( Fri 01-Mar-19 18:47:09 ) +1
        
        Yeah – that caught me out as well, the first time I tried to use it (n/t) - Peter2 ( Sat 02-Mar-19 06:47:59 )
        
        I know. You can't be ever sure . - Ramillies ( Sun 03-Mar-19 01:34:41 ) +1
        
        You're right, it does start with Toccata - Liliths Slave ( Tue 05-Mar-19 04:38:05 ) +1
        
        No, darn it - I'll give it a go. - Liliths Slave ( Wed 06-Mar-19 07:20:14 )

• Map corner crossings - RubiconIII ( Tue 29-Jan-19 08:33:27 ) +15

My attitude has always been "If the game allows it, then it's OK to do it". - Peter2 ( Tue 29-Jan-19 12:54:07 ) +1
- I agree *spoilerish* - RubiconIII ( Tue 05-Feb-19 05:38:41 ) +3
  - Shrine of the Gods … - HodgePodge ( Wed 06-Feb-19 01:57:59 )
  - Mostly the same with me... - Ramillies ( Wed 06-Feb-19 08:53:36 )
  - I still play the original v1.0 game, but the way I play it varies because of the extra "exploits" possible in that game.. - Peter2 ( Wed 06-Feb-19 10:12:48 ) +2
    - Well, I've recently finished a CCSS, and I had a good fun. I'm not a veteran player, however. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Wed 06-Feb-19 14:48:54 )
    - Oh, I remember when running GameUpdate on all 3DO games was the coolest thing to do - so never played v1.0 - RubiconIII ( Thu 07-Feb-19 15:19:43 ) +2
      - Operating systems, upgrades, etc. - Peter2 ( Mon 11-Feb-19 17:59:44 ) +1
        
        When you're talking about the operating systems: I've recently started working on that Linux distribution for old games and I'm making a good progress. - Ramillies ( Mon 11-Feb-19 22:30:17 ) +1
        
        Excellent! - Peter2 ( Tue 12-Feb-19 06:30:27 )
      - . . . and something I forgot to mention . . . - Peter2 ( Wed 13-Feb-19 09:31:42 ) +1
        
        As I remember, if all characters are conscious, reward is 10,000 xp/character, which... - ragwort ( Fri 15-Feb-19 16:40:03 )
I absolutely love that...... - Ossie ( Fri 01-Feb-19 16:55:54 ) +1
- I suspected as much - RubiconIII ( Tue 05-Feb-19 14:47:57 ) +1
  - By the way, those diagonal crossings are very interesting. - Ramillies ( Wed 06-Feb-19 08:57:47 )

• Another question... MM6 Upscaled Textures?? - Stet ( Wed 09-Jan-19 21:48:49 ) +4

Cool idea. I think ... - Bones ( Wed 09-Jan-19 23:31:40 ) +1
- Hi Bones – slight case of the missing link? - Peter2 ( Thu 10-Jan-19 05:59:41 ) +1
  - Oh! That's right. This old board script doesn't recognize links using HTTPS.... - Bones ( Thu 10-Jan-19 09:42:15 ) link +1
    - Hero, thank you! - Stet ( Fri 11-Jan-19 10:59:20 )

• Losing Legendary items if you leave the area early on? - Stet ( Wed 09-Jan-19 20:47:18 ) +8

You will not likely miss out on anything - just don't drop anything as that WILL vanish once you leave the map - RubiconIII ( Wed 09-Jan-19 21:22:07 ) +1
- Thank you!! I'll play with my mind at ease - Stet ( Wed 09-Jan-19 21:39:50 ) +1
  - you're welcome - RubiconIII ( Wed 09-Jan-19 22:30:06 )
I should add.. - RubiconIII ( Wed 09-Jan-19 22:11:12 ) +1
- The Seer seems to be useless for giving back lost Quest Items. Peter could surely tell you some of his experiences with it . (n/t) - Ramillies ( Thu 10-Jan-19 01:32:39 ) +1
  - Again, this is a very old memory, dating from when I first bought the game in the late 1990's - Peter2 ( Thu 10-Jan-19 05:56:16 ) +1
    - Oh nooo! - then I can't get my flute back - it was soooo vital :'( - RubiconIII ( Thu 10-Jan-19 10:50:40 )
Legendary & Unique Items - HodgePodge ( Wed 06-Feb-19 02:24:53 )

• countering character conditions in MM6 - RubiconIII ( Sun 06-Jan-19 20:25:36 ) +19

Going purely from a very old memory, . . . - Peter2 ( Mon 07-Jan-19 04:24:26 ) +1
- I actually like that.. - RubiconIII ( Mon 07-Jan-19 12:31:23 ) +1
  - So do I. - Ramillies ( Mon 07-Jan-19 15:48:04 ) +1
    - Agree about the abondance of useless spells.. - RubiconIII ( Mon 07-Jan-19 18:20:03 ) +2
      - Yeah... - Ramillies ( Wed 09-Jan-19 13:05:35 ) +1
        
        Reanimation (Kind of spoilerish) - Eric B ( Tue 05-Feb-19 08:46:07 ) +2
        
        Uhm... still not too useful - Ramillies ( Wed 06-Feb-19 09:01:53 )
        That's pretty well what I do to lower my reputation that last little bit, but . . . - Peter2 ( Wed 13-Feb-19 09:49:27 ) +1
        
        I kill the NPCs in Temple of the Snake, since they offer no skills... (n/t) - ragwort ( Fri 15-Feb-19 15:54:12 )
      - Useless enchantments - Eric B ( Sun 17-Feb-19 11:05:11 ) +1
        
        Again, agreed. I didn't find weapons "of Force" to be all that useful, either. - Peter2 ( Wed 13-Mar-19 06:26:18 )
Have a look at the Grayface's mechanics page... - Ramillies ( Mon 07-Jan-19 05:09:40 ) link +1
- Thanks for that link - it really explains a lot - RubiconIII ( Mon 07-Jan-19 11:42:27 ) +1
  - That was the advantage of MM3 to MM5, they had a "Suppress Disease" spell which was a lot cheaper to use. - Peter2 ( Mon 07-Jan-19 12:09:57 ) +2
    - I havn' (n/t) - RubiconIII ( Mon 07-Jan-19 12:35:59 )
    - please ignore faulty post :/ - RubiconIII ( Mon 07-Jan-19 12:51:22 ) +1
      - That's probably the difference. I don't recall being poisoned and diseased nearly as much as you describe. - Ramillies ( Mon 07-Jan-19 15:38:13 ) +1
        
        I like opposition, a good fight and my melee weapons.. - RubiconIII ( Mon 07-Jan-19 17:38:40 ) +1
        
        Maybe I'm just still in the mindset for the CCSS party that I played the last time... - Ramillies ( Wed 09-Jan-19 12:45:08 )

• It's time to roll out the Jukebox and wish everyone a ... - Bones ( Tue 25-Dec-18 00:30:39 ) link img +6

- It works on my version of IE running under Win10, but not on Firefox, which is my default browser - Peter2 ( Tue 25-Dec-18 04:33:19 )
- I don't get music, but I do also know why . - Ramillies ( Sun 06-Jan-19 18:22:48 )
I'll join with Bones in this – A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all - Peter2 ( Tue 25-Dec-18 04:39:12 )
And I'm a bit late to the party, but I still hope you enjoyed whatever winter holiday you observe. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Sun 06-Jan-19 18:32:29 )

• Update on MM6 for Windows 10, and a couple of questions - Ossie ( Mon 27-Aug-18 19:49:28 ) +18

I have some answers to your question (***Spoiler***), and I'd like to thank you for answers to some questions that I hadn't got round to asking! - Peter2 ( Tue 28-Aug-18 07:02:06 ) +2
- Ahhh yes - Ossie ( Tue 28-Aug-18 07:38:59 ) +2
  - *Correction* - security flaw in Windows *7* that was fixed with an update (n/t) - Ossie ( Tue 28-Aug-18 07:42:54 )
  - What I've read ... - Bones ( Tue 28-Aug-18 10:08:03 ) +2
    - Please could someone tell me, what did Greyface's patch do over and above what Mok's patch did? - Peter2 ( Tue 28-Aug-18 10:31:20 ) +2
      - Apparentl Grayface has continued to work on it The latest release is July of this year.... - Bones ( Tue 28-Aug-18 22:31:42 ) link
      - It removes most of the bugs I know about, and adds some more goodies. - Ramillies ( Tue 04-Sep-18 05:33:11 ) +2
        
        Thank you very much — that's a great help (n/t) - Peter2 ( Wed 05-Sep-18 04:17:14 ) +2
        
        You're welcome. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Wed 05-Sep-18 18:06:13 )
        Glad to have helped. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Wed 05-Sep-18 18:08:51 ) +1
        
        Ouch, a double post. Bones, feel free to remove one (along with this one). I had some problems with input rejection. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Wed 05-Sep-18 18:09:52 )
        
        Most of those options are not in the GOG version - Ossie ( Sun 16-Sep-18 00:57:02 ) +1
        
        That does sound like Mok's, then. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Wed 19-Sep-18 05:30:37 )
    - Yes, it would make sense - Ossie ( Wed 29-Aug-18 03:23:17 ) +1
      - Grayface's notes state that his patches work on all versions. I'm not sure what we can infer from that. (n/t) - Bones ( Wed 29-Aug-18 21:39:26 )
- So this is the first time I've ever seen this, but confirmed........ - Ossie ( Sat 29-Sep-18 23:44:44 ) +1
  - I've never seen that. I've done a lot of looting. I seem to remember.... - Ragwort ( Sun 30-Sep-18 14:27:07 )
A simple test for Grayface patch would be hitting F2 in the game. - Ramillies ( Tue 04-Sep-18 05:35:31 )

• I guess you probably already know that, but I found something peculiar... - Ramillies ( Fri 06-Apr-18 02:27:31 ) +16

I'm pretty sure that you can also dual-wield hand blasters, which is lethal in real-time combat. (n/t) - Peter2 ( Fri 06-Apr-18 07:26:27 ) +1
- That would be awesome, but in my game it is not possible. - Ramillies ( Fri 06-Apr-18 19:50:36 ) +1

        Yes, you certainly don't have to install. - Ramillies ( Sat 07-Apr-18 23:56:55 )
        
        Have you confirmed this to be successful with Win10? - Ossie ( Mon 09-Apr-18 05:35:43 ) +2
        
        I can confirm that Dosbox running under Win 7 enables you to play . . . - Peter2 ( Mon 09-Apr-18 09:37:39 )
        Sorry, not at all. - Ramillies ( Mon 09-Apr-18 15:15:02 ) +2

        No. My experiance is that once game has been installed, full game can be copied to any new folder or computer. May have to run as ADMIN in newer Windows OS. Can have multiple copies of same game on same computer. (n/t) - ragwort ( Fri 24-Nov-17 13:55:38 )
        Correct. Once the files are on the hard drive, the game plays - Ossie ( Sat 25-Nov-17 21:08:25 ) +2
        
        That's excellent. Thank you both very much. (n/t) - Peter2 ( Sun 26-Nov-17 15:11:55 )

        Not real certain what it is that draws me to look this place up this time of year. Between Bethesda and Bioware both tying on all their games with unpleasant requirements, only CD Projekt Red's games halfway appeal to me any more!
