    "Yeah, but actually getting Nasrudin on the *map* is the tough part. Those Mickey Mouse instructions to the Tomb, and then you have to pickup on the clue that was etched into the "other" guy's tomb, would have locked me up at the stage."

    oh yeah.... it took me like 5 hours to figure out I was supposed to also click on the lid too..... then it took me anout 5 days to figure out what the heck I was supposed to in in rosenberg, and what the heck did that bucket mean....

    Well, there goes that.

    I was trying to keep it vague and cryptographic. But you just lauched the tripflare that let the whole base know.

    Oh well. That was *the* only part of Arcanum that, in itself, was a gimmic to lengthen the gameplay. I don't subsidize *mazes* in games...

    hey, those clues won't mean anything to the people who didn't play the game for extent, and I didn't tell them waht the bucket meant anyways.

    Talk about mazes, I hate em! I hate the dark which make it so you cant see squat and have to click in every direction in hope of your character starts to move. :mad:
    Any tips on making dungeons easier? I am in the Vendigoth ruins now and I cant navigate at all, it seems like my followers go to places I cant go to, I click there but nothing happens! :mad: Thats the most annyoing part yet of this otherwise superb game.

    Hmmmm.

    I always loaded all my people up with Miner's helmets.

    I never really thought any areas were all that dark. I think the main function of the helmets were to make your people see traps easier, but I thought they helped out the gamma as well.

    Crank up your gamma, or your brightness.

    I did, didnt help much and miners helmets light is to tiny so it doesnt really matter. But I did manage to finish the ruins, I think there were some kind of pathfinding bug but I still think it is hell to find my way in dark dungeons in Arcanum.
