Cookie the ugly and other henchmen

wellard · 06-21-2006, 11:52 PM

Q1. Why can cookie be used as a henchman outside but if you take him upstairs through the secret entrance to the moneylender he does not follow down more than one passage?

Q2. Are there anymore henchmen for hire? hopefully a rogue and if so where can they be found [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Q1. Cookie suffers from the same problems as all NPS when faced with a Door/teleporter. They won't follow you through. Same with pets and familiars. Its a problem with the engine and can really only be resolved with Z giving the NPC's a item that warps them to you.

Q2. I don't think we have a rogue henchman yet. There is Roddybug on level 1, Moric the ranger on level 2, and Teri on level 10.

Hope this helps mate and glade to see you FINALLY made it!

Moric is a ranger, and CAN disable traps and unlock stuff.. He is also on level 1. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yep, I plan on adding LOADS of new henchmen soon!! All Classes will be covered!

Cool, and if the non area trans doors could get fixed, that would make the teleporter maze easier for non rogue types.

currently: four henchmen (as described above)

hopefully soon: at least eight henchmen.

I have harassed poor Ziroc here about henchmen since my third month in. how he hasn't gone completely insane is beyond me. (I pride myself on my chaos-inducing behaviours.) seriously though, one can tell more henchmen will be coming because of all the new realms. were there any classes beyond rogue you were hoping to see though, wellard? if so, might as well post them now. not that we are guaranteed to find them the moment Ziroc makes them available, however. *laughs and grins* we'd still have to hunt them down like before.

interesting commentary about games in general, Baldur's Gate II and Planescape: Torment in particular, and the character of henchmen in a game.

Yup, Moric's pretty useful when I go in with a lower level magic-wielder! Although, I strongly suggest you keep him away from critters that eat metal or do other things to it....he showed up nekkid as a jaybird in the inn with me one time... LOL!

And YES, what TDC said.. they kind of get lost on one side of a transition and don't always catch up to you although sometimes they do seem to teleport back to you on a level. Kind of a pain when you lose 'em and are in transit to a battle you'll want help in!

Oooh...new henchmen?! Cool, Z! I have SO got to get myself time to wander in the Undermountain some more! Who wants to trim my shrubs, weed my flowerbeds, do the shopping, fix meals, empty the catbox and clean my house?.........hmmm....don't all rush up and offer at once, now!

Ha! I see you hiding back there!

I am so hoping to have a little EfU time this weekend! I haven't really been through the whole thing since Animal was around to guide me

. Kinda miss that guy whenever I think of going into EfU now... but I really want to adventure a bit in the newly remodeled EfU so I am hoping hubby and I can make some time and take some new characters in [img]smile.gif[/img]

Look forword to seeing you both. Hopefully you can help me get through that greater bone golom on level 2

Cloudbringer · 06-27-2006, 11:14 AM

Happy to try, Wellard! We have a long weekend so I'm hoping we'll have some time to play. Hubby wants to and he's due for some game time!

We've got errands to run all day Saturday, but after that, we just might give it a try!
