Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Okay, I decided, since you said it had no magic, that I was going to play The Election. So I downloaded it and got everything ready, but I ran into a problem. I copied the prefab party that comes with the scenario into the folder all my other save files were, but when I loaded it up in the game, I got an error message that said "This is not an Exile II save file". . How do I get this to work and/or what were the attributes of that party so I can play it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Dragyn Bob Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Why would it tell you this is not an Exile II save file? You are trying to load it in BoE, aren't you? Make sure the file extension is .sav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 DB, the "Exile II save file" message is a known bug in BoE. There are different versions of the save file for Mac and Windows. Do you have the right one for your computer? Stats aren't very important in this scenario anyway. Just use a normal low-to-medium-level PC and name him Vandell. By the way, if you don't want to use magic, you'll have to get by without using the healing sceptre, unless you can justify it in non-magical terms.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 And don't give him any combat stats, really. You shouldn't have to (or be able to) fight at all. You get a couple of healing potions, too. EDIT: Eh, Edged Weapons at 5. But all you get is a Bronze Knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 Okay, I'll just try it with my own L1 party (it is non-magical). I wanted to make sure that it isn't critical you use the prefab party. BtW, does it have to be a singleton, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yes. The plot assumes that the party is a 1-PC named Vandell. He should also have the Chronic Disease ailment, but you can do without it if it annoys you (which it will). Apart from that, stats don't really matter.

Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 Thanks for all your help, everyone, though I still can't figure out why that save file won't work, but it shouldn't really matter that much now. I'll just create my party like this: 1. Vandell. 24 HP, 5 edged, and a Bronze Knife. I'll skip the Chronic Disease for now, as it seems to me that it's just an excuse for you having to carry around some healing and curing potions to cure the poison. Thanks again!

Well-Actually War Trall The Creator Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Actually, the fact that the character has an incurable disease is an integral part of the storyline. Also, it's important that you have no food. The stats aren't that unimportant. You can win that fight if you know what you're doing. But probably not without magic.
