for the first two things, take the north road out of caldera. for the people stealing from the mine, follow the signs pointing to the caldera mining company. when you enter the valley were the mine is, over to your right is the cave. one guy is outside, the other three are inside. for the naked guy follow the signs that point the way to maar gan, (take the back road, thats what the signs will say) she's on down that road.

thanks slackerboy,I don't think I'm gonna spend too much more time on this game though.I'm not too crazy about the combat.You swish the mouse to hit and the guy spins around and you can't find your opponant again etc maybe I need to get used to it but I've been playing all day today and it's not all that to me,maybe something to do till IWDale 2 comes out!Thanks for the help though..

looks like you're not used to first person rpg. try pressing TAB to go into third person.

Well I tried this game most of the day and I've had it not my cup a yea!!Unloaded it and away it goes guess I replay NVN and wait for IWD2 SeeYa

Kakero · 07-14-2002, 10:25 PM

LOL, next time ask first what's the game like or see the game screenshot before you buy it.

yeah, I'm waiting for IWD2 too.

While I'm waiting for IWD2 as well, I can't believe why anybody would choose a mindless dungeon romp over the most immersive RPG today. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

the old saying goes like this, persistance pays off, pity you neva heeded to these wise words my friend, because you truly are missing out on one excellent game,

Had to reply one more time...Dumped the game off my hard drive because game would freeze up and I could only get out by turning off my computer,I don't care for swishing my mouse around to fight,(I should have remembered that from one of the previous games)and numerous other little things that I just didn't care for!It may be a better game for when I upgrade my pc,but for now I'll put it away or lend it to a friend!!I'm now replaying NWN with a diff. charactor.See Ya All later thanks for your input..

For your friend or you after you have upgraded: To avoid the "swishing" and just use a left click to strike, change the default Control option to "Automatically use Best Attack". No more mouse gymnastics, just a lot of clicking when you run into a high hit point enemy.
