Is Kuroisan hounding me from beyond the grave?

To quote from the SixOfSpades README that is distributed with Tactics installations now:

Weimer replied: Unfortunately, making all of those checks would slow the game down -- Kuroisan's appearance piggy-backs on the 'always running, main background game script'. I would love to make him more precise, but I view it as an infinity engine limitation -- it can't really be done without impacting the quality of the rest of the game.

Just FYI.

Update (for anyone who cares): I am now the proud owner of two sanchuudoku katanas. I thought the problem had resolved itself, but Kuroisan attacked me for a second time in Waukeen's Promenade and just happened to have a duplicate sword with him. I wonder if the regeneration stacks...

Seriously, though, this confirms that I have a bug. I plan to sell both sanchuudokus (and any subsequent ones I might acquire) to raise money to restore my reputation after the destruction which the fight caused. It's easier than trying to get rid of the bug and I certainly feel like I deserve the experience after killing him a second time.

Teeheehee! I bet it was his twin brother [img]smile.gif[/img] Curiousan

Yeah, except now it's just getting annoying. He spawned right after I entered Suldanessellar. I mean, really, how many Sanchuudokus does a party need?

Actually, had he a brother, it'd be cool if he'd be named Shiroi-san. Kuroi-san is Mr. Black in Japanese and Shiroi-san would be Mr. White.


Seriously, I think Kuroisan was a reference to anime, because in his dialogue(short as it was), he said some short Japanese expressions that can be learned pretty quickly by watching anime.


Sorry if that sounded cocky. [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You know, Kuroisan hasn't shown up in any of my games in quite a while. I had assumed it was due to a conflict with another MOD, but now I'm starting to suspect he's just been jumping into your game over & over. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And he keeps calling me "Mr. Anderson", too. I don't like this at all.

[Ed: P.S. I now have three Sanchuudoku katanas. Having just read SixOfSpades' thoughts on katanas in the "Assassin" thread, I guess I won't aim for a party of only Sanchuudoku-wielding characters. I'm holding on to them because I was shocked at how little gold they fetch if you sell them.]

Could be worse. Wait until you have to fight dozens of him at once. [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]

That would be OK if I could also fly. And have semi-permanent improved haste on.

For some unknown reason, I found this thread even though it must been a long time ago. Its like it appeared out of the blue onto my screen. And I know someone is going to berate me for resurrecting an old thread but still............. Glad to have joined the Trademeet Kuroisans meeters. At least I know other people had their Trademeets ruined by Kuroisans. You can read my posts on that battle in a new topic which I just wrote. Btw didnt you guys try to lure him away from crowded places to minmalise civilian casualties?
