    I just instaled HoW on my computer. I've had the main game on for a while now, and my save game when I first started up the game with HoW installed was in Kuldahar right after the Vale. Now, every time I load the Kuldahar map, it says Arundel- Unaffected by effects from Boots. What is up with this?

    I only know that with one of my characters. He was wearing the ring that makes immune to hold, slow etc. and the boots of the fox (-1 ac, +40% movement speed). Everytime i loaded it said unaffected by effects from boots. The faster run didn't work, only the ac bonus. Perhaps its something like that?

    Maybe he has some boots on him but with HoW installed he might have some abilities he didn´t have in #1 or maybe some other item he now has prevents movement bonuses.

    Try slaying him and check his belongings for fun :)

    he only carries a Ring of Free Action :)
    maybe some boots too, but i only pickpocket him, not kill him (unless you want too screw up the game)

    edit: That ring causes the game to say: Arundel-unaffected...

    Sounds like a bug. A one where there should have been a zero.

    At least you know he's got the ring on him. :1eye:

    You do know that you can save and load Blast Skeleton?
    So save - kill - check belongings of dead arundel - load.

    No screwing up the game there right?

    Ok, I don't want you two to start fighting so I want you to stop, ok?

    Blast Skeleton, he didn't say that you was stupid, he just pointed out that if you kill someone you more often than not gets more things then when you pickpocket.

    Duke Eltan, he just thought that you get the same things if you pickpocket someone as when you kill someone.

    I understood that, but since I said it to Gwenhwyfar so she could see if he had anything more than that ring you can pickpocket I dont understand why he gets so carried away.

    ok, i'll stop
    i just want so say one more thing
    i do know you get more stuff from killing someone than just pickpocketing
    ex. i'm playing trials of the luremaster; in the tower NW, there is a dude, who can be pickpocketed for ... a ring of free action :rolleyes:
    i killed him, since he also carries a morning star +4: defender, gauntlets of weapon expertise,...
    i've been playing rpg's since Ultima, so i'm getting pretty good at it :)
