Hey Bryan—I'm curious, now that you've had those two conversations with a certain someone, is she still hanging around the forge when you return to Farhaven? Or has she vanished like she's supposed to? If she's still hanging around, what does she say when you speak to her?

Hey Joseph,
so this isn't a new thing with this update, it is happening  since the game has been released, but I never posted it and was wondering if it is intentional.
Sometimes, when you load your save file, the game tells you entering none instead of telling your location. I can reproduce this pretty often so was wondering if this will be fixed?

That is definitely okay, and you are right that it does not cause any inconvenience, except when loading an older save file and you are not sure where exactly are you, but that's not a big deal as you can usually   figure that out quickly enough.

Sorry for double posting... I'm curious about something and thought I'd ask for help as it's not coming back to me.

Slight spoilers!

In order to unlock fast travel for one particular area, you have to complete all the quests in that area right? I'm pretty sre I completed all the quests in silvershade... A House Divided, The Goblin King and I, Reunited, and the appropriate part of Pilgrim's Progress. Am I missing one? I haven't finished stolen from the rich, does that one count as part of the quest?

Second thing that I just remembered. I completed Reunited and saved Wilhelm, but can't do changing of the guard. It says I should talk to Captain Lucian about recommending Wilhelm as part of the guard... but talking to him gives me no options to do so. Am I missing a step?

End Spoilers.

Thanks for any help... it's been a couple months since I played, and I probably should've taken notes back then. lol

assault_freak: Regarding Blessed Peace, this has been fixed, but I think it's something that couldn't be retroactively fixed—meaning if you started your new game in an older version, before this bug was fixed, then it will still be bugged, but if you start a new game + in the later versions, it will work fine.

Regarding fast travel: You don't have to complete all quests in an area—fast travel for each area is a possible reward for one quest in each area...but it is also possible to miss out on fast travel. In all three areas, you can make decisions in quests that prevent you from unlocking fast travel.

Regarding the Changing of the Guard: I'm assuming you haven't completed Laying Down the Law? Lucian won't care what you have to say about Wilhelm yet because he doesn't like you or trust you.

I thought I recalled replying to that email but it's possible I didn't—truth is, I don't remember off the top of my head, but I think you probably do keep the stat boosts, yet.

Yeah actually a hailing feature would be nice... Cuz especially finding buffy and Liam, not to mention some of the faster walking guards is, not very fun LOL.
At least you can teleport to various spots in the area via fast travel and hopefully end up near them, which is kind of creepy if you think about it...

Assault_Freak, I replied about the Blessed Peace bug back in post #1810...or was the game you're playing now started in version 1.3 or later? If so, maybe something is still broken...

@Defender: Buffy? You mean Hope? Ah, that's too funny to me...

To which stage of the Laying Down the Law quest are you referring? The answer will differ, depending on where you are in the quest...

Then this stage is fairly similar to the Exterminator—just fight any bandits you encounter, and sooner or later the quest will update.

Joseph, if it's the same bug that we're talking about, then no... it's not the one I'm refering to. I'm talking about the fact that it actually refuses to let me upgrade skills because the script error gets in the way. I sent a speech log.

@Defender: Oh I don't think it's embarrassing, I think it's a hilarious slip. We definitely were not subtle about modeling Hope and Liam as a nod to Buffy and Angel, and I think Melissa even channeled Sarah Michelle Gellar in her performance.

@assault_freak: Yes, I'm aware of the bug. What I'm saying is that, if I remember correctly, this is a bug that only presents itself on a New Game + that was started before a certain release. I need to look back at the script but I think that, after a certain release, we may actually scrub quest-reward skills from the player's skill set when you restart, to avoid this issue.

@Julian: Ghouls hang out in dark, enclosed areas—mines, tunnels, mausoleums, and catacombs. They're actually only likely to be encountered in a pretty small window—levels 13–21, if I remember right. That's how they were always planned, but with them being added so late, and with how well Drew did on the sound design for them, I'm thinking we need to add some different tiers with them, like we have with wolves, bears, etc., so that you can encounter them at higher levels as well. Hmm...that actually gives me an idea for an opportunity for some player feedback. Stay tuned...
