Curious Artila malthaussen Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I've started playing the Exile trilogy for kicks, and it looks to me like there is no way to find out what a character's ac or encumbrance is, at least in the first game. Am I missing something, or is this the case? There doesn't seem to be any option to examine or describe equipment (which there is in the later games of the series). I love the fact that there are six characters in the party, it gives so much flexibility. Wish Jeff would do a new open-world crpg with six-char parties, instead of cutting the number down even further. -- Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 There is no encumbrance, maximum weight, in Exile 1 or 2. The limit is the number of available slots to store items that aren't equipped. Exile 3 does consider weight as well as inventory slots. Items that are in inventory can be examined by using, I think, the ? at the right of the inventory slot, but not when equipped. It's easier to program for smaller parties. I miss the larger 6 character parties, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila malthaussen Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 I mean encumbrance in relation to spellcasting. You know, what armor can be worn while still allowing spellcasting. In Exile 1 there is no question mark, which is why I wondered. -- Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 If you look at the item info window for a piece of armor, it should have an "Encumbrance" blank. (I forget if it was called something else.) IIRC, you can cast Mage Spells just fine with a total 0 or 1 Encumbrance equipped, but beyond that you'll randomly fail. Defense skill provides a chance of randomly reducing your encumbrance in battle, so with 20 Defense skill spellcasters can safely go up to 2, again IIRC.

Curious Artila malthaussen Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 No such window in Exile 1. As I said, there doesn't seem to be any way to examine equipment, which also makes comparing stuff impossible. Ah, I see it now. Have to click "more info" box to look at the stuff. Pretty cumbersome. Glad he changed it. -- Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
