Party Member Bug in BG
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2004 8:39 pm
Before I get to the bug (oops ... I mean undocumented feature), I want to say that the Exult team have done a fantastic job!! It's great being able to play this game once again!
I'm sorry if this has been addressed already. I'm new to the Exult community and was not able to find related threads via the search option.
As for my setup, I'm currently running Exult version 1.1.10rc2 under Windows XP. I've tested this bug under the same OS but different video and sound cards, and I do not believe this problem to be related to those devices. Anyway, while playing Ultima VII Black Gate, I've noticed that when I tell my party members to leave and wait there; most of them will return home on their own accord. To be more specific: I've started a new game, where Iolo, Spark, and Sentri have all joined. Immediately after letting Sentri join, I've asked each member to leave but wait there instead of returning home. Unfortunately, they don't seem to listen.
In palying VII back in the days of DOS, I recall being able to tell my party members to leave but wait at the current location, and they don't move from that location.
Anyone know why this happens?
