Guest Matt_Six Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 [quote name='mongoloido' post='247267' date='Apr 10 2006, 09:46 PM']Luck is a weird one. It's certainly got a big upside to it, though. A friend of mine and I play this a bunch at work (when it's slow, we have nothing else to do ). Anyway, his character has a much higher luck rating than mine. He autopicks locks a lot better than I do, gets more and cooler stuff in the chests he unlocks, and usually runs into fewer badass creatures than I do... I don't think luck will keep you out of jail, but it makes a big difference in a lot of little ways.[/quote] The chest thing might be right. I have found some cool stuff. I can't autopick locks. I even tried to do an EASY one, and it broke... ever since I haven't tried at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt_Six Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I did manage to open a HARD one on my own once... only took me about three of those picks. Anyone know where to buy those in ther Imperial City? I didn't look too long for them, but when I did look, I couldn't find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember though. I have a fighter/mage character, and have spells to unlock almost anything. I never waste my time trying to unlock anything with picks.

I think I waited too long or something. I got a paper from someone and they said that Grey Fox turned himself in. I don't even know if I can meet him anymore. I haven't layed since Sunday. I won't get a chance to play until next Tuesday night. SUCKS!!! Mongoloido, where can I pick up that magic spell? The only thing magic that my guy has as a major attribute is destruction. However, I have picked up some decent spells along the way. I have about five that I haven't even opened up yet (the scrolls) just in case I need to sell them for cash, because my character isn't a big magic guy.

Guest Matt_Six Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Another question I have... in the Imperial City, you can buy a house for 2000 gold on the Waterfront. I haven't investigated many more cities extinsively besides the Imperial City. Anyone know of any other houses that are for sale anywhere? I know I ask a lot of questions... so I'll check this often and try to help out anyone else who has questions. I'm still kind of new, but know some things. I've explored the countryside A LOT. I have found a shitload of caves. Have only conquered one, though. They usually have some goodies inside them. Just let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AU is truly the shit. I mean, its THE SHIT. The spell creation thing is fuckin great, and the people there sell some great items and spells as well.

Anyone? I don't usually play games like this, but I'm thinking about picking up somethig different. Should I get it? I'm normally an FPS or RTS gamer, but I want to expand my horizons. Can PC gamers play with XBox players? Or are they separate? Are there enough PC gamers to keep it interesting? Dou you have to pay monthly charges on the PC to play online? Or is it free? I know, I know, a million questions.[/quote] Yes, get it. I got a few reactions... First Reaction: "Wow. These graphics are amazing. How can they make a game like this?" Second: "Why did I lay down 475+ for this system and game? There's no way I can understand all this and have fun." Third: "I'm so addicted, when I go outside my house, I crouch and pick flowers and mushrooms in hope I can conjegate (sp.) some sort of healing potion in case I fall down before I get to school." It took me about 5 hours to get the hang of it pretty good... I'm still learning, but I think I have most of the basics down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the biggest and best one. It's my "official" headquarters. I keep all my items in the chests there, and keep my really, really powerful and strong weapons in the glass cases in there.

Guest Matt_Six Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Just a heads up: I found a ninroot (sp.) outside of the sewer we started out of at the beginning of the game. You go directly to the left and follow the shoreline. It'll take ya a couple minutes, but you should run into it... it's about 5 feet from the shore beside some rocks.

See, I go through one whole town a whole night, and steal everything I can from every store, hide it somewhere, and sell it to Ognar the next morning. I steal stuff from the castles.

I don't know what to do. You got me worried big time. When I play again... first thing I am going to go is find out what is going on with him. Maybe he's still out there, but I could have swore some dude came up to me and handed me a newspaper that said Grey Fox turned himself in. How can this happen!? There has to be another way where I can get my stealth/thievery skills up. Anyone know a solution or know what is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
