Well, Antara isn't any story-continuing to this game, and I didn't play it except the beginning, so I'm not really in the position to advise not to play it, but I still wouldn't recommend playing Betrayal at Antara, as I read people saying this game is indeed piece of muck. If at all, then you might be interested in Return to Krondor, though this first game is the best one of them three, too.

Wouldn't it be great if they traded the graphics of krondor with antara? put the crap with the crap and make the better even more wonderful?

BAK is definetly one of the best RPG games I have ever played. The one and only game that can compete with it in terms of playabilty is the recent Knights of the Old Republic. Thanx a lot to whoever added BAK to this great site.

Just a couple of interesting things I've found:

1. Hope everybody knows there is a very cool blessed(#3!) rapier in the wordlock chest behind the illusionary house just south-west of Romney. To my great distress, I haven't managed to find any place where u can get bless #3 for your weapons.

2. U actually CAN get past dozens of ghosts in the centre of Midkemia in the early chapters. This doesn't lead you anywhere or give you any advantage, but once you do so you may return to Oracle of Aal and enjoy the "praise to your stupidity"

Thnx

Actually, you can bless your weapons with bless +3 in the temples of the more powerful gods, don't remember the names anymore, but it's the temple of the death goddess, the war god and some few more yet.

Despite of Locklear (a very hateable character, I must say) BAK is one of the best RPGs I've played. The story is by all means breath taking and the stat system is amazing. Most of the characters, specially James, are really cool and the dialogues are amazing. How to ignore this beauty?

I just adore the name of Kingdom's master magician. Pug. Simply Pug. Sounds so cute LOL

oh, i also managed to find a huge keshian ale store. There are like 20 barrels hid deep behind miles of illusionary hills extreme east of Kenting Rush. Anybody knows what to do with them?

Why doesn't resting restore stamina? Do your characters need to drink alcohol simply because its a beverage? I know about food, and I examine every rations package. But apparently, if you rest in inns, your stamina will not go up, and if it continues to go down, your hps will go down. I don't get it.

They call it stamina, but a better name would be immediate health; while health should be called overall health. First, your stamina goes down, not through use, but injury. When it reaches zero, you start affecting your health. To regain complete health, you first improve your health, until it's up to its maximum potential. Then, you start healing your stamina, from zero up to its maximum potential.

If resting doesn't restore you at all, chances are you're suffering from some negative condition. Poisoning and disease will affect you in this way, and there should be some notification of this on the stats screen for each character in your party. Note, you can't heal up to maximum out in the wilderness, though you can get close. For that little extra bit, you need to use an inn, or healing potions.

I know about poisons and stuff, but do you actually have to have beverages as well as the rations? This would explain my question to the point I wanted it to. The stamina perspective is understandable, as I have played the demo of betrayal in antara. I liked it's thing where you don't lose food as you rest

I've never drunk anything in the game, and I've played it through from start to finish three times. Just eat those packets, and make sure they're not spoiled or poisoned.
