I am currently playing the online version of the game and I am stuck in abandoned Travia temple in Thunata. In the end of the dungeon I have to defeat the feylamia guy. I remember that in Riva I have defeated Mandara with a moon crystal. I have searched the whole dungeon and could not manage to find any clues or weapons to fight the vampire. Looks like mundane weapons do not damage him at all, so I keep using the "flee" option to avoid the fight. But there is no way out of the dungeon. It seems that I have to defeat the guy because he blocks my way out. Am I missing something? Have anyone completed this quest?]]>

Can anybody help me with main stats for characters leveling.

I'm pretty sure that for a warrior character I need to raise strength. Correct?

What stats should I choose to increase for the rest of the Archetypes:
Wood elf (bowman + caster + outdors leader, main role - bowman) Wisdom? (because that stat boost both missiles skill and good for casters)
Dwarf (mele + dungeon leader) Strength? Dexterity? Both? maybe intuition?
2 Mages, combat school and domination school. One of them have some investments in social skills. Wisdom for both?

Druid (Caster+bowman+herbalist) Wisdom?

Maybe you can point me to some old discussion on forum, Deutsch language is ok.

Tnx.]]>

there is new, very interesting document about GOG, watch it at youtube.com
There is also mentioned Realms of Arkania, starting at 27:48 - they are probably talking about bugged enemy at the end of the game, which couldnt be beaten (but it is still possible to finish the game, as I shown in this video)]]>

I have only had a course look at it but I would like to know about which translation glitches you have so far come across - as for example 'two-handed swords' instead of 'two-handed weapons' (an axe is of course not a sword ;-)).

Is the text graphics or actual text that you could theoretically change with a Hex editor?

Felipe Pepe is still looking for contributors to his CRPG Book Project. In particular, he's still looking for people who can write reviews about the Realms of Arkania trilogy. Where better than to ask here? :)

The book will be available for free as a PDF and is 50% finished with 200 pages (preview). It also includes or will include reviews by known developers like Chris Avellone, Warren Spector, Tim Cain and others.


Zitat:The CRPG Book Project is a collaborative, nonprofit project that aims to compile the history of Computer
Role-Playing Games into a handy book. The entire project is being written by fans from all over the world, who pool
together their knowledge about modern hits, great classics and obscure titles alike to create a guide to CRPGs that
will offer something to both old-school veterans and new players.

- CRPG Book Preview with 200 pages (PDF)
- CRPG Book Project Website
- List of Games and assignments


If you're interested in writing about the Realms of Arkania games, simply contact Felipe via crpgbook@gmail.com.
The list shows Blade of Destiny as assigned, but he told me that the trilogy still needs reviewers. Due to page count constraints, RoA1 and RoA2 get two pages each while Shadows over Riva can be mentioned in the review for RoA2.

Hope you guys can help out!

If RoA isn't your thing (cough) you can write about lots of other games, too. ;)]]>

I've started playing Blade of Destiny (retro version). Generating characters took me a lot of time, as I tried to get the best possible attributes for each one, so I didn't pay too much attention to their faces. I thought I could change their looks afterwards. But it looks like I can't. :(

Is there a way to change their faces? Maybe with some editor or smt?

I just found this via RPGWatch at the GOG site : http://www.gog.com/news/gogcom_annual_su...e_for_free

Quoting from there :

Zitat:Short version:
1. Complete the survey below.
2. Enter your correct e-mail address.
3. Get a copy of Realms of Arkania 1+2 sent to you via mail next week.
4. If you own RoA 1+2 you can gift it to a friend!

This "annual survey" goes until September, 17 this year (it's 2012 as I write these lines).

I guess tht an account on www.GOG.com is needed.

This is a good way to get the game for free (apart of its already low price).
