Serpent Isle List Field Bug
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2002 8:44 am
This only happened to me once, and after reloading and trying again it did not happen, but...
.. I trained Iolo at the list field, and after he walked onto the field, nobody attacked him. He just stood there. I even tried leaving him there for 15 minutes (real time) but nothing happened. I had to kill exult and restart. My theory is that this might have happened because all of the trainers were off-screen.
Which brings up another possible bug: when you choose to train with Shazanna, for example, you might end up fighting against Caladin on the list field. It seems like you just fight the nearest person there. I thought in the original that you fought only against the person you chose to train with.
But on a much better note: I finished SI! I have owned this game since it came out in stores (1993, I think) but never was able to finish it because of bugs in the original. Specifically, in the original, Pothos would never acknowledge that I had brought him bloodmoss..
Anyway, no such problems in Exult! The few problems I did have were either my fault (didn't do something completely/correctly) or minor enough not to prevent the game from playing through!
My hat is off to the developers, testers, artists, maintainers, etc of this great program! Thanks! You've outdone the original!
