  - 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

        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

• 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

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

        Again, agreed. I didn't find weapons "of Force" to be all that useful, either. - Peter2 ( Wed 13-Mar-19 06:26:18 )

- 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

    - 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

      - 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

        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 )
