I did. It didn't.

I did do that. Nothing was created with the directory structure in my documents or with the timestamps geneforge displayed for the save games.

I can't figure where in the steam folder I should drop the files. Every folder under userdata is just a number and none of the files under them have names matching those in my documents; nor do they have a timestamp that matches the test save I created in the steam copy. Are you sure that's the correct folder.

Can I load my progress from the demo into the full copy of the game I bought on steam?

I finally figured out what my problem was; I apparently missed Allison during my initial talk to everyone pass. As a result I didn't have access to the 2nd level of the fort and didn't realize I was trying to recruit the wrong prisoner as a result.

I got the quest from Kyass and've behaved myself in his town.

Nothing about job opportunities ever comes up in the conversation with Paul. Is there some event trigger I need to complete first?

How do I break him out of the cell?

Do you have to rush the high level trainers dodging encounters intended for higher level chars as you go? I'd been saving most my coins while doing quests closer to the starting area and at some point hit the 30k cap; and have been having them silently vanish for an indeterminate amount of time. Is there any way to figure out exactly how much I lost now short of playing to the end and adding up all the stuff I could never afford to train for?

I've cleaned out all the Slith on both levels of the fort; what else do I need to do to complete this quest?
