bizarre bug (band of boars)

eddie-c · 05-10-2003, 09:46 AM

Having had it happen once, I thought it was wierd but decided "what the hey".
Now it's happened again, has anyone else seen this....?

Having done the Band of Boars quest, all chars got their reward but, after
changing class and gaining levels, twice now - at random - one char has been
given the xp reward *and* promotion, giving him the ability to learn
ironlung and backstab.

I wouldn't mind if the game did it for all my chars. Those are sweet traits,
but only one? Gaaaah!! whine/pout etc.

We'd probably have to know a lot more about your characters, classes etc. to figure out why one is getting these perks and the others are not.

Radek will probably know!

What do you need to know and I'll provide the info.

The only thing I can think of, atm, is that the char it has happened to
is a gourka. Maybe the silly guildmaster is giving him bonus on the
boar quest because of that?

I remember seing a link to a name generator somewhere on the net. I cannot remember where it is or who made the link, though. Maybe Wyvern or WillowIX ???

I've had this happen once, I believe; never tracked down the reasons why it happened.

Chalk it up to a twist of fate, and enjoy the results

It doesn't affect future gameplay at all.

There are several quests in the Serran that can give you this beneficial reward.

Some works on only one and sometimes one works on every characer. The strangest "bug" I have encountered was in the Temple. My monk got rewarded every time he entered whereas my samurai got rewarded 4 times and then it stopped. Very strange. Probably a loop in the programming. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I keep getting a reward for Jathil, and have had a reward for another quest - on a different char - but this only seemts to happen in Ishad N'ha.

Breakdown of my group: (a save before 2nd bugged promo on gourkha)

gourkha: wa guild 7, wiz 6, pr 7, th 6, bushi 4 wa>pal>ranger>samurai
dwarf: wa 7, wiz 6, pr 7, th 5, bushi 4 wa>pal>ranger>samurai
ratling: wa 5, wiz 5, pr 7, th 5, bushi 4 ro>rang>pal>ninja>samurai
oompha1: wa 7, wiz 7, pr 7, th 5, bushi 4 wiz>wl>pal>samurai
oompah2: wa 7, wiz 6, pr 7, th 5, bushi 4 wiz>wl>bard>samurai
whiskaz: wa 7, wiz 6, pr 7, th 5, bushi 4 pr>wl>ranger>bard

I tried, as an experiment, making a char - not the buggily promoted
gourkha - an assassin, as all the rest are the same level in the thief guild...

Result = after becoming assassin, killing grue morde and getting a couple of
levels as that char, char could not train backstab. Also, the char that had
received the double promotion, because of the bug, had been granted access
to ironlung and backstab. Net result = an assassin without backstab.

Maybe after splatting that annoying leprechaun my ratling assassin wannabe
will get access to backstab?

Also, how does one use backstab in a fight?

thanks.

Not that this has anything to do with the topic... but:

Has anyone tried keeping an assassin's dagger when resetting the game thus ending up with two daggers in the new game, promoting one character to assassin, killing Grue Morde, and then promoting a second character to assassin. It would be interesting to know if Grue Morde just respawns.
