Strangest thing just happened. I'm in Silvar (for the first time this game, to give you a sense of where I am in the story). I've done everything I wanted to do in the town. Killed the brigands in the corner, etc. As I'm leaving, I hear a kind of zapping noise, and I start hearing screams. The message window shows guards taking thousands of damage. Unfortunately, I reflexively quicksave at this point, and I go check it out: there's what appears to be quickfire in the middle of Silvar! How'd *that* get there? I let it kill me and reloaded my quicksave, and I could get out of town with only guards having taken damage (no named characters in the message window) so I think I'm fine, but... what happened? When I went back into Silvar immediately after, the fire was gone. I wonder if I accidentally hit some button combination that caused this. The only clue I have is that, at what I assume was that particular point in time, the message box showed, in red, the following:
Char using abil not present.
(This is on OS X 10.11, with the Steam version.)
This forum is full of people who mess with the scripts so I figured I'd ask here before bothering the man himself. I certainly don't have any means of creating quickfire. Did the Empire trap Silvar like they'll presumably do with the towns in Footracer Province once A3:RW comes around?
