Love Quest in Forge of Virtue

[Tim]

I don't know whether I'm doing something wrong or there's a bug.

When I go to resurrect Adjhar...

I place the blood from the tree on the 5 stones.

I read the scroll that falls out of the book.

Bollux sacrifices himself and drops his heart on Adjhar.

I place the heart in Adjhar's body inventory.

I read the scroll again.

The Avatar says the words and the tree does its little sparkly thing.

But, there's no lightning, and no one says "Stand Back" which I remember from the original (and the first time I played though this sequence in Exult).

And more importantly, Adjhar's body disappears and does not come back to life.

Am I missing something?

It used to work, but it sounds like it's broken. I'll try it tonight with my savegame.

[Tim]

I recall that I had to do it a couple times the first time I went through this part of the game with Exult. It worked before, but not this time.

Thanks.

What preys upon my mind most about this whole affair is why they chose the name "Bollux". I spent hours trying to figure out the dirty meaning behind "Adjhar".

[Tim]

hehehehe...

I never noticed that. I guess we Americans never use that word.

[artaxerxes]

what's the dirty meaning behind Bollux?

Not-native-english-speaking Artaxerxes

[nadir]

bollux sounds like bollocks.
Which is slang for testicles.

[drcode]

That sequence seems to work okay for me. Could you submit a bug report with a zipped savegame?

[sprodfish]

adjhar sounds a lot like ajar - meaning "half open"
not much sense there apart from how he opens up his chest to get his heart out...
