LEGEND OF FAERGHAIL ON DOSBOX MANUAL

As you fought it and did damage, you would lop eyes off, and ichor would ooze out. One of the striking images I have is a green venus fly-trap like creature, with eyes on stalks. I don't remember a ton about it, except that we really enjoyed it, and never completed it because it was corrupted when we got to the end. It was a north/east/south/west/look kind of game. Me and a friend believe the name of it was something like 'Destiny'. Hi there, great blog, I hope to go through more of it to try to find this game I remember as a kid. Ah, to be so young again as to make pure grinding a pleasure once more! Reply Delete I should be very sad if you don't finish this game, but I certainly understand it's limited appeal. I would start new games then occasionally, and could still select the strong one from the tavern, getting a better and better start over time until I managed to keep my group alive for longer. Don't quite remember how I managed to get that char so high, but I think outside I kept making new companions for him and only kept him alive (also sold all equipment to outfit and train him etc). He was nigh indestructable, but could not escape. Sadly, aside from remembering the castle as absolutely huge and confusing, the only other memory is abusing the system - I distinctly recall playing a high 80s or even 90s melee level character, which would be the only one alive and caught in the castle. DW had a crippling translation error, here I just failed - not mapping in this game is a disadvantage, to be sure. LoF has about the same place in my heart as Dragon Wars, meaning I grew up on them and loved them to death, despite never finishing either. isn't this a German game? Maybe that's why they lost. Now imagine if it worked that way in real life. As you fight merely for your survival, the party's leader, a paladin, keeps shouting, 'Let Godric take the killing blow! He needs the experience!' You do your best to dodge the orcs' razor sharp axes and Godric swings over and over again in futility, looking more likely to bash his own skull in than one of the orcs.

A winnable, but nonetheless deadly battle erupts. As you look back at him and his goofy, sheepish grimace, the warcry of a dozen orcs suddenly breaks the silence.

As you approach a T-section, your cleric, Godric, clumsily bangs his mace against the wall. Your party creeps along the castle passageway as quietly as possible. Just imagine the situation as if you were really there. And in such a way that totally breaks the fourth wall. What's frustrating about XP not being shared is that it forces you to artificially micro-micromanage the combat. I'd dump him, but I think he's the only thing keeping me alive. Complicating matter is the fact that Siegurd, my NPC companion, does so well in combat that he takes far more experience than anyone else. The way the game distributes experience points-based on the number of successful actions each combat round-means that it'll be a long time before some of my characters level up. After a few hours trying to be honest and replacing them, I ultimately caved to reloading every time a character dies.ДЇortunately, this doesn't happen as often since I've discovered that fleeing combat has, as far as I can tell, a 100% success rate.

What I don't like is that combat is horrifically deadly at these early levels, and there simply isn't enough money to keep resurrecting slain characters. What do you suppose it means that I 'unknowingly' meet the trolls? There are aspects I like about the combat system, such as memorizing the last position and actions used, which encourages you to tweak your strategy rather than start from scratch with every new enemy and round. In that case, I have to congratulate the Count of Thyn for his little hidden pocket of the world, impenetrable on all sides except for the mine exits.ДЄs I painstakingly mapped every tree and wall in the wilderness, I engaged in sporadic combats with various beasts and humanoid enemies.

I suspect it's through the dwarven mines, since a map in the manual has my current area as 'wilderness map - east,' suggesting that there's a separate 'wilderness map - west' on the other side of the western forest, and the dwarven mines entrances are on the west. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get to the neighboring land of Cyldane. This left three locations to go: the dwarven mines, the derelict castle, and the Temple of the Savants.
