Chittering Clawbug AaronC Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 So I've encountered a problem. Downloaded the Windows version, playing it, great fun. Problem is I've killed the Presence, got the next quest. Then I go to the Promenade, and kill the shrouded guys. Nothing drops. Nothing is in the little piles. In a guardian game I was playing before this one (Shaper now) I found the student belt, perfect fyora scale...etc in the Promenade. Now NOTHING drops, NOTHING is in any containers. Has anyone else encountered this problem in their experiences with the game? Or am I just going crazy and that stuff doesn't actually exist in the Promenade and it was some dream...

Hatchling Cockatrice Drayk Armitage Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Have you used any cheats? I encountered a nearly identical problem in Avernum 4 several years ago, which apparently happened due to my use of "backtostart" -- there's a reason some of the cheat codes are not printed in the manual and are deprecated.

Chittering Clawbug AaronC Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Nope..wasn't aware there were any cheats. Update though...went to the Isenspire? (Rawal's place) and killed the group of fyoras that spawn, but the end fyora (huge fyora) didn't drop a perfect scale although I believe it's supposed to? Well now I went into his study, and theres nothing in any of the boxes...maybe I'll just start back over since I'm not too far in. My other playthrough hadn't encountered this though.

Hatchling Cockatrice Drayk Armitage Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 If the effect is the same, regardless of the cause, then it requires starting over (or going back to a save in which the problem did not exist yet). Jeff said there was no other fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug AaronC Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ok, no harm done I suppose. Thanks for the help, glad I hadn't kept playing and just assuming it was an isolated incident in the one area. Maybe I'll be a lifecrafter now...although he has a slit in his "robe" that exposes his inner thigh...or is the lifecrafter a female?

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Its male, though its questionable on several levels The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The student belt isn't a dropped item, but is in a nest. Some items are random drops, but the huge fyora in Isenwood's Spire should drop a perfect fyora scale and gauntlets. If items aren't in containers then you are having a corrupt file bug. If it persists then report it to Jeff since this is one he really wants to hear about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dikiyoba thinks he's wearing pants, but it's not obvious because they're just about the same color as his skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Pyro Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 why don't you move you savegame files reinstall move files back load your savegame and see what happens you probably won't be able to get some drops from things you've killed but everything in chests should be fine...

Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Unless the save file itself is the corrupted one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug AaronC Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just started a new character. Everything is fine in this playthrough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Drayk Armitage Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 No, it's definitely a save file issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
