Princess Ruth

I've always had problems with it. A while ago someone gave me a patch to download which fixed it, but it hasn't been working for a couple of weeks now. Restarting doesn't work, I've tried changing the compatibility to Win95, 98 and 2000, and nothing works...

What's this de-frag thing? I'm really not good with PCs!

I still get the same message. I don't think my Blades file is corrupt, I think there's something wrong with my PC which makes it not like the Exile files.

I decided to start playing BoE again, but when I try to open it I get an application error message saying "BLADES caused an illegal instruction fault in BLADES.EXE at 0x00000024. Click CLOSE to terminate etc..."

I tried to uninstall it to see if reinstalling would work, but when I click the uninstall button I get "UNIN16 caused an illegal instruction fault in IUN1401 at 0x00000024 etc..."

If anyone can help I'd be grateful if you do it in language intended for 5 year olds as I'm crap with any technology stuff!!!

Thanks a lot.

BTW am using Windows XP.

I'm pretty sure there's a specific button to make the Anama friendly again which is seperate from the generic "make towns friendly" button.

Notye but Neyse would you have to register the editor for that? I only have the free extras.

Ok, MacCentris has resorted to using big words to show how disappointed he is.

Someone please lock this topic, he'll never let it die naturally!!!

Using the editor to make towns forget me didn't work on Shayder! Lucky I'd nearly completed the game before I decided to nick their stuff hehe.

Lots of things may not be in the rules, but are generally frowned upon in these boards.

For example, double posting! Use the edit button.

I think it's a bug. Generally you can only augment non-magical/non-augmented weapons.

OK, for a start it's "their mind" not "there mind", and secondly there's already a topic open discussing Exile 4. Opening a new one is unnecessary, you could just reply in the other topic.

Maybe someone could lock this?

Try asking at the Lyceum too... You get some different people around there.

Intelligence is to do with Mage/Priest skills, the higher it is, the more damage your spells will do.

Strength determines how hard you hit, and in E3, how much weight you can carry.

Dexterity helps you hit things, it also helps with using 2 weapons and disarming traps/lock picking.

I appreciate you're a newbie, so I won't go to town on you... However, please check the date of the last reply before you post. There is no need to resurrect dead topics.

Try asking her about "join"

I haven't played in a while, but I think you need the Blessed Athame.

In E3 there's a witch on a secret island somewhere near Ghikra who sells them.

Wander in and out of the trog caves to fight them and gain experience.

Go and do the quests in Upper Exile if you haven't already.

Explore the wastelands North of Storm Port and fight all the random monsters - also search any towers you may come across...

Try the Ursag mission in Golddale.

However, the entire game relies on you being able to beat him, and anyone who failed would just reload and try again, so there's not much point making him too difficult to beat.

And re the runes etc... maybe he just couldn't be bothered with fighting all the millions of adventurers, giant lizards and anything else that would just wander in if the defences weren't there.

But even if you cheat yourself in, all that's in there are some empty boxes.

Why would you want them? They do next to no damage... The iron ones are much better.

Just remember that Pachtar's Plate has a lot of encumbrance, so it's not worth using on mages.

You're supposed to destroy them for a reward from the Scimitar.

Or just cheat and use the editor to unweb yourself.

Yes it will mess up the game. Explore first - the game ends when you complete it.

You do need the Orb of Thralni, which will appear later in the game.
