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?
Pug is a funny name like the little doggies.
The ale (As I found out after using most of it) is for an optional quest in chapter... 6 I think? You need to give it to one of the taverns coz their tap is run dry.

I have finally gotten bored with this game, but I am in chapter 8, which is... uh... strange... :crazy:

This game gets to the point where you can put it down for a long time, yes.

Betrayal in Antara is even worse at this :not_ok:

Antara was so bad, I cried. Er, is the party even SUPPOSED to be able to walk on water? The graphics messed up sooo bad.

I FINISHED BaK! At the end it went back to main menu after the countless pages of boredom. I was like 'Uh, was that it? No groundbreaking movie?' Now I shall wait a month then start again.

How do you mean, boredom? I don't understand. BaK has one of the most compelling plots in gaming, with a wrap up that ties together all the questions in a great case of triple-crossing, and the revelation of a master plot. The loss of someone important at the conclusion whom you've come to respect also comes out of left field. Boring? I don't get it.

Many people were dismayed by the difficulty when they played it, but this game was simply amazing.
I played this one a long long time ago, and it is hard to convey just how rewarding this game can be if you are prepared for a challenge. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of fun and reward to be found by exploring and going off the beaten track, and also a great deal of danger. Following clues that were dropped very lightly can end up getting you into very interesting trouble, but most importantly, not something you can't get away from.
Your enemies will track you, and you will be tracked yourselves. Don't be afraid to, for example, follow a road east for many many miles around a mountain range when there is a direct route to your destination; I guarantee you will not be bored. The developers seem to have thought of everything and prepared for it.
I Highly recommend restarting the game after you've learned the basics, as it may help. And since there is a great deal of the Survival aspect to this game, Never pass up an opportunity to acquire fresh food. If you don't keep your mind on provisions, starvation Will be an issue.
The game makes you think, so they won't throw hints at your face; If you think your group will be ambushed in the night by friends of the all too suspicious stranger, take a light nap and check for danger. Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
A+ if you can play it.

Perhaps he/she is in the age of new games where they always have some graphical ending. People who are like this never read anything unless they believe it is important to the gameplay.

You think the Diablo mentality is hard at work, eh?

I've got a question regarding the CD-version of BAK.

I've heard that this version includes a video of an interview with Raymond Feist and digital music from CD. I own the german CD version and it includes the video but to me the music sounds exactly as in the english disk version that I've already played (sounds like MIDI).

Can somebody confirm if there is digital music ? I don't see any reason why it should not be included in the german version.

I also have the CD version, though the game there and the interview are in English, and the music on CD that's played in the game automatically when the CD is in the drive, it's much better than the MIDI music that's played otherwise.
Yours should have digital music too, but maybe you de-activated the CD music in the options of the game and that's why it plays MIDI music now?
