http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/cwm/3dlil/read.gif <---- Me, RTFMing...

I must say, the music in this game is great, but it does overshadow the voices (actually, it's more likely due to my hearing loss) so I had to adjust the audio. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

That said, It's slow getting started. It took me a while to figure out how to save. Got that in the outside maps, but can you save in the towns? After I heal and get supplies, I want to save before heading out, and so far I've been stepping outside, and then doing it. oh well.

I've died a few times, but just reloaded to my first time out of the town. I'm getting the hang of the controls. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...rcadefreak.gif

I got the quest from the Town Hall, then on my way to the graveyard, I fought a bandit. Went back and healed, then got waylaid by some rat-looking things, and some bats. THEN I LEVELED UP !?!? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/eek.gif Is that it? I got lost on my way to the graveyard, and meet some theives of the Hidden Circle. He gives me some lockpicks, and as I'm leaving , the game tells me I hear a battle going on. I go back, kill the three thieves, and LEVEL UP AGAIN ?!?!? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/eek.gif Now, I'm at level 3 and I haven't done anything but get lost and kill some stuff... And I'm still confused with the controls, but it is getting easier.

Another thing, and it may just be me... Does the ground slope sideways??? It seems that I'm leaning to my left or right all the time, as I'm walking around. I tell myself that I'm on a hillside.

So, at the momeent, I haven't done anything, I'm lost and don't know where I'm going, but I'm making good time. THIS IS FUN !!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

NO SPOILERS NOW, but if anyone wants to let me know why I'm walking sideways or thinks I'm missing something, let me know !!!

LOL!!!

Do you have a pebble in your shoe??

Glad you are having a great time!!! Not sure why you should be slanted though. Maybe someone will have an answer! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Never heard of the "slanting" thing, unless you're in "strafe" mode...are you using keyboard rather than mouse? To walk where you want to, hold down the Right mouse button and "point" the direction.

You're playing a solo character, RD. You're going to level up VERY quickly doing that, for the game was designed to be played among 6 characters, with appropriate reward system.

Glad you're having fun! Get to the graveyard now and get some skulls!

-Sazerac

I returned with five skulls, and got the cash and experience. Then I went back to where the Hiden Circle guys were, and found a treasure chest behind another piece of wall. I got poisoned, and ran back to the village to get healed (the Automap works grea. Went to Town Hall, and he said he would still give me more bounty for more skulls. Then he asked me to kill a troll (forgot his name) near Nymph Lake.

Joined the Warrior Guild, so now I need to go find a guy who stole the money box. (Didn't get any clues for that, so I'm gonna wander. I figure the beginning should be relatively easy, so I'll stick near the village.) Then, I'll train for a Ranger.

So far, so good !! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...ievalsmile.gif

Mon the Sculz is out the other gate, towards Nymph Lake. He looks like a regular Highland Rogue with some beefed-up HP and stats.

Same thing for the troll guy...looks like a normal troll, but on stereoids. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

So far, so good!

Hehehe, maybe we should start a treat "the adventures of RudeDawg" http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Well, I'm glad you're having fun. In the interim, maybe you could twist you monitor sideways to solve your slanting problem http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I guess that would be the "obvious" solution. But that's all I can come up with after an afternoon with my mother-in-law http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Cool Dawg! Happy to hear you are cruising right along. Don't know why you are leaning, unless you are on a hillside? Both of those guys you are looking for can come to the graveyard side of the gate. How do I know this? Well because the troll guy came to that side and attacked me and the thief guy came to that side and attacked my daughter (I saw him when I was at her house visiting). So even though they are supposed to be out by Nymph Lake, they will come across to the other side, so be wary.

No, you can't save while in town. So you must remember to save before and after you go to towns, preferrably in a new save slot, just in case something happens that you weren't ready for or if you change your mind about something you did. Remember, save, save, save.

I hope this doesn't "spoil" anything, but that tool kit you got from the band of thieves is kinda special, you might want to hang on to it.

The map is an amazing tool to use when you are stuck or wondering where you've been or what direction to head!

The graveyard quest is HUGE with lots of skulls to gather! Much, much more to do on this side of the map! nuff said http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Oh and what does RTFM mean?

If I have said too much, just tell me and I'll be more careful, but I hope I haven't - don't want to discourage you or anything. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...ievalsmile.gif

Have fun and keep the updates coming!

The ground slanted in my game in places (esp the areas around Gorthius) I thought it was being in a hilly area.

All answers to all questions have been posted already, just though I would confirm this one.

Mammawlin: RTFM means "Read the Freakin' Manual" (except most people use it with a slightly stronger explitive implied). It's a standard acronym hurled at people calling tech support sites. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

believe me, walking sideways will become handy in later in the game....
