And the combat is fun. And the riddle chests.

Yeah well, the riddle chests actually can be pain in the arse if one doesn't know where to look for the answers. Fortunately the questions and answers to them are all located in text form in the file krondor.001.

D: Cheater!

Meh. If you end up bashing your head against some of the chests with the riddles for hours you can either sit there for few more hours or search for a solution to move on. Try to figure out which one is more efficient and especially more fun.

:thumbs:BAK is a game that NEVER loses its appeal whether game assists like cheat sheets or walkthroughs are used or not.I tend to agree with Scatty...get hint..learn something and get on with enjoying the game..

If you can't solve the riddles then just skip the chests. Don't cheat to get what you want out of them, just accept that you can't because you can't solve the riddle. Yes, it gets boring if you stay at one chest trying to solve a riddle that you can't get. So if you can't, then just cheat? What I used to do is, I'd write down the riddle, then make a note of where the chest was in order to find it again easily.

For me, true satisfaction and enjoyment comes with completing a game entirely on my own without outside help. Half the fun of most games is making your own decisions and figuring out what to do and how to do it.

To each his own, eh, guys?

Personally I need a walkthrough, because I can't spend thousands of hours trying to find the blasted golden bridle. Or figuring out how to open the pirate shopkeeper's safe. Meh

You say it. It's all about fun anyway, so whichever way it delivers that for anyone. Myself, I prefer to bash my head for some time against a riddle first, and only then look for the solution. Can't just move away from that locked chest without cracking it on the spot, right there

Having played BAK from the time it came on the market up until now(probably around 10 times) I feel confident in saying that it would be impossible to cheat ones way through the entire game..even if one wanted to.when I first played it (no walkthroughs or hints) it took me almost 12 months!! This is a game with many layers and side quests which is one of the reasons it is so addictive..I still feel that each time one plays this game it changes slightly so that nothing can be taken for granted..By the way the first time I played the game Acethor if I left a chest I didn't find it again easily in fact in most cases I didn't find it again at all..
