Jimjim1968 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Please help. I am desperate to play, but as soon as I go up the steps after the tutorial my party gets wiped out by soldiers. Once the greeter spoke to me but as soon as dialogue ended they killed me off. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki. Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 This is a known issue. What has probably happened is that you've attacked the friendly characters down in the tutorial cave. There are a couple of things you can do to get around it though (taken from this thread: http://spiderwebforu..._+fort +avernum). Either start a new game (since you're not very far in, this shouldn't be too much of a problem), and this time do not attack any of the friendly characters (I'm sure there are only a handful hiding in a small building), or, before going upstairs, type shift-D (a capital letter D) and in the box that appears, enter forgiveme.

Jimjim1968 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks, Nikki, for swift reply. I am pretty sure I didn't attack those guys, so I will attempt the forgive me option. Hope it works and can't wait to play. Looks like a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim1968 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I should state I am playing this on an Ipad 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I should state I am playing this on an Ipad 2. There's definitely a menu option to enter cheat/debug codes somewhere in the preferences of the iPad version, although I don't have the iPad version so I couldn't tell you exactly where.

I believe it's in the settings or preferences menu. Jim, the bad guys down there also count as "friendly" before they turn hostile. I thought this had been fixed, but just to be safe, don't attack anyone preemptively - you'll know it's okay to attack when their dots on the auto-map turn red (plus you'll automatically go into combat mode).

nikki. Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (And just in case you DO need to use the cheat menu, it can be accessed on the iPad by tapping the little floppy disk icon, and then using the "Enter Cheat Code" option. I do wonder when the little floppy disk icon will be replaced by something else that's a little more relevant...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim1968 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 A thousand thank yous. It worked. I just ignored the folks in the building and just killed the bad guys and went straight up the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 yea your whole party or 1-2 members of it will die many times before game ends, I have lost party 6 times and some mbers of party have died 184 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hmmm, has anyone played a party though the game where when a PC dies, they don't resurrect them? It sounds like it would be a little bit of a challenge, even more so on torment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki. Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ephesos did something like this for BoA, but I don't recall anything for other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 You'd have to delete the character to avoid having them automatically resurrect when you enter town. And then you'd lose any equipment they were carrying, wouldn't you? It'd be a bummer if they were carrying the Orb of Thralni ... Edit: I guess you can bend the rules a bit and let them resurrect in town, drop the orb, and then delete them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like it would be a little bit of a challenge, even more so on torment. Should be very, very challenging, one good hit from a tough slime or drake even during the mid game and it's all over on torment, I am pretty sure I won't be able to do that considering I die a 100 or so times in the eastern gallery itself, but my respect to anybody who does.

Earth Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Its impossible unless all chars do phys and magi (mage level high enuf to cast fireblast and priest level high enuf to cast at least unshackle mind, maybe even mass heal) damage since there are so many enemies which have high to total resistance to phys or magi damage and damagewise that party wouldn't be as good as specialized party members.

The Reverend Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 You could maybe do it by treating the party as a singleton "with support". In other words, pick one character as your main character, and give them the type of build you'd give a character intending to be a singleton (since by the end of the game they probably will be). Give them all the best stuff as well, and devote most of your training $$$ to them. The other characters will give the main character support until they die off.

The problem is that you can't reload once you die, and with a singleton on torment there is every chance you will be dying once or twice before you actually manage to do any fight. Edit:- Besides a singleton is tough enough even when you don't have some "soon to die" partners gobbling up your XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I missed that reloading is also not allowed, but I guess reloading when somebody dies kind of defeats the purpose of not allowing resurrection, so that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosquito---Slayer Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 One party that I have in mind is a two member one pure priest and one fighter-priest design, the priest will always stay back, hide if possible, and heal like hell, whenever possible you will enter the battle with two shades, having only two members mean that the party should level up quickly enough for "one shot dead" chances to be eliminated,a second priest also means that you have enough healing power at hand, I still have serious doubts if it can manage but that's the best I can think of.

Malastal Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I had the same problem. Writing the cheat code did not solve the problem. Seems like I must start the game from the beginning. Very frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
