Exult Forum

Just in case anyone else gets stuck in game like this, there are some excellent walkthroughs and general information about the Ultima series at Iolo's Lute - http://jedyt.tripod.com/ I found this site after I thought I knew everything about U7 and discovered several secrets that I missed, so its wor...

Sure, its just a computer game. But isn't the point of games to give us a temporary escape from reality? To be something that we can't ordinarily be in our lives, like a Hero who saves the world. If you wanted to pretend for a while that you're a criminal then you can always play Grand Theft Auto or...

naughty avatar! no Virtue for you!

tsk tsk. Would an Avatar really rob the bank? Just go kill dragons or bandits and take their money

I don't dislike CT, its not a bad rpg all things considered (despite the crap combat system and static enemy placement). Chrono Trigger is just so much better.

Something I just thought of but have never tried - what happens if you go to the Isle of the Avatar, kill Elizabeth and Abraham, leave and then die? Would be interested if a dead couple found you and brought you back to the Fellowship Hall in Paws. And why in the hell do they ever help you in the fi...

"Microsoft - our bugs have more features than anything else on the market!"*

(* Microsoft corporation takes no responsibility for the fact that there is nothing else on the market)

I noticed something a bit odd about the hack mover in SI. when I went to get an invisible chest down from atop a monolith just to the north-east of the Sleeping Bull Inn, hack mover wouldn't let me move it from the monolith onto the ground, kept saying that it "couldn't get there". I moved...

I don't use it at all, never saw the point. Sure, by the end of the game I usually have a huge collection of assorted rings, armours, weapons and other items, few of which I ever use. Mainly I just fight and if I die, well you get ressurected every time so there's no much hassle there. Thats somethi...

"It's not a bug, it's a feature :0P"

*laughs* gotta wonder just how far you can get away with that

Just noticed that now the magic boots seem to be doing the job of swamp boots as well - walked right through Gorlab swamp and only the characters without them got poisoned.

Phil, again I had the same problem. Usually you can just talk to him, he'll say "meet me at the pub" and walk off. If you leave before he does though he'll just stand there. Go back, talk to him in the hallway outside his cell and wait for him to leave and go upstairs before you do. He'll ...

just for the record - Tales of Phantasia kicks Chronotrigger's scrawny ass in the SNES rpg category. It is the best.

yeah, I had no problems with Frigidazzi after talking to Buccia. I think Kylista just won't ask you for the armour if you talk to Standarr first and he tells you who the owner is, thus updating the items list to say that you've already met Kylista.

I found the same problem with Exult 1.00. All you have to do is go back to the Knight's Test, and use the blood on the Ashes again. You'll get another wolf, kill it and take it back. Should work this time. You end up with a spare wolf (the first one you killed) so just dump it somewhere.

oh boy... the more I play Serpent Isle the more bugs I find. For instance the Helm of Light from the Silver Seed makes it seem like Daylight all the time, though in the original it was only a very strong light which still left day and night distinguishable. Again, its not a major thing and doesn't s...

I'd sell my entire family and probably my neighbours too for an updated version of System Shock. The sequel was good but the orginal was just unbelievably awesome. And you're right - atmosphere just says it all. And all that customisability as well! Do I wanna play a doom clone with no puzzles, easy...

I got the breastplate on the list, talked to the Healer about it and she referred me to Standarr. He told me that he made it for Kylista. This then changed the reference on the list to reflect that the breastplate belonged to Kylista, Priestess of Beauty and when I went to Fawn and talked to Kylista...

Funny what a bit of experimentation can do, since I've managed to answer my own question. Turns out that in order to get the Avatar's swapped items to appear on the list you have to put them all into his inventory just after the teleportation storm and before you meet Thoxa. Then when you talk to Sh...

The golden age started, peaked and ended with System Shock (the original). It was just so far ahead of everything at the time and yet was never as hugely successful as it deserved to be. I don't think there's been a game since (except maybe for the sequel and Deus Ex) which crossed the lines of genr...

Oh yeah, I'm running Exult version 1.00 win32. I'm gonna download and try 1.1 to see if that makes a difference.

Just recently started playing U7 again with Exult (great job people!). The Black Gate is working fine for me, no problem whatsoever. But when I came to play Serpent Isle I struck a minor issue. The list that Shamino prepares of Items that have been swapped during the first teleport storm isn't updat...
