magnus Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I can't seem to complete the quest to use the teleporters. Sure, I can teleport back and forth between Blackchasm Outpost, New Harston, and the portal fortress, and I've talked to the portalmaster, but the general won't recognize it. Have I missed something obvious? Btw, some buttons on walls can't be clicked. Is there anything to do about it? Also, do cracks in walls mean anything?

Locmaar Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Okay, the teleportation quest is about stuffing crystals in all of the pylons you find along the way. The general is generally (pun may be intended - I haven't decided) unimpressed with what you do, so don't worry about him. He's into politics, grander schemes and such, and not so much into talking to people who actually work for him. Concerning knobs: if my recollection is correct, there are more knobs (or buttons as you so aptly put it) that don't do anything than there are knobs that do. I guess this is supposed to grind you into not trying everytime you spot-a-knob if it's a wall-opener or a grease stain. Cracks in the wall mean the rock's been working for a long time and beginning to give in, or to crack. My guess is that we won't see the results before Avernum XC, though.

Sleeping Dragon Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 It is strange that the General is not acknowledging it. Usually you have the option of saying something like "I have learned to use the teleporters" at which point he orders you to go North. Did you get the blessed shield from him already? Because once you have that, your pretty much done dealing with him until much later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locmaar Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Which reminds me of... Has anyone else ever felt the urge of giving that blessed shield back? I know I have. General Redmark: "What now? Can't you see I'm busy?" 1. "Yes, sorry Master Redmark, General, sir..." (End of conversation) 2. "Yes, sir, there is. About that shield of yours. Now, if you could just get up for a minute and bend over..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmisary of Immanence Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Are you certain Manfred is the right person to talk to? Maybe you need to tell Cienna first? —Alorael, who got over the false buttons. It's worth a mouseover to check for secrets, but most little black squares don't do anything.

Randomizer Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Wait until you get to chapter 8 and the Circle of Life cult. Jeff placed inaccessible rooms (they appear on the map in the hint book) with plenty of useless buttons (levers). You go crazy thinking that maybe the access is from the lower level and keep going back and forth looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnus Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Turns out I didn't read the conversation options very carefully. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
