How do I get to island of dispare?

 

Rhythm, it is possible that I'm wrong about it. But I don't believe you can outsmart that one.

Gollum, go to the city on the east coast called Ashbury and talk to captain in the port.

 

Rhythm I would suggest posting this over on an Arcanum board and seeing if they could help.I played thru with a persuasion master and couldn't get a peaceful solution even though it's said that it can be done and I was powerful enough to have Raven and Z'an Al'urin in the party at the same time. Good luck.

I have the strangest problem. Suddenly I can't open barrels, trash bins, containers of any kind. Happened down in the black mountain clan mines.

Could it be some option I turned off or something, cause when I load a previous savegame I don't have the problem....

 

Turambar- could it have anything to do with your pack being full? I couldn't seem to pick anything up for a while and that turned out to be the problem for me.

I need help too: Is there any way to encourage followers to use their unique skills? My char doesn't have any thief skills but my followers do- and I can't seem to get them to use them. I have purchased some lock picks and try to use them on locked chests and things, and theoretically this should encourage my followers to jump in and help- but they don't. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is that you place lockpicks in inventory of those NPCs.

I can't be sure about this - I had the best lockpick skill in the party so I always used it myself.

 

There are two things that need to be done for an NPC to attempt to pick locks for you. The first one is that "Follower skills" be turned on in the game options menu. The second is that you need two sets of lock-picks. Give one set to the NPC that you want to pick locks and put the other set in your quick inventory. You also have to position yourself and the NPC so they have access to the lock, if you block direct access they won't go atround.

 

Thanks! One more question - for now - how do you use the manuals from the university? I bought several and now can't figure out how to get the benefit. There's nothing on the Terra Arcanum web site about this.

Note to Arcanum developers, should you happen upon this: the manual bites hairy birds. You need a really good technical writer who loves games to solve this problem for you. I'm available if you can afford me.

 

Ok, those tech manuals are only useful to help you use the found schematics.

What they do is raise your aptitude in whatever area, e.g. guns, explosives etc, by your intelligence per manaul if you see what I mean. I.E. if you had a found schematic for something that required you to have at least 15 aptitude in explosives and 25 in guns, and you have points in guns, but not explosives, you go buy one of these manuals, just leave it in your inventory, you don't need to do anything special with it, if, for example, you have 20 intelligence, then you will meet the requirements and be able to make the item (if you have the correct parts).

It is a particularly clear definition, but then again, it isn't that easy to explain .

 

Im down in the sewers below Caladon and im fighting the stormknights. But two of the is at the other side of the door and I cant get to them. Are they blocking the door or do I need something to open it?

On the murder quest. I have found the green writing with the demons name. What do I do now? I have talked to police and they say I should find a demonologist. Where is one?

 

A Demonologist can be found back in Tarrant at the University.
I don't really remember any stormknights though.

Hmmm. It has been brought to my attention that you COULD also just send a telegram to Tarrant....

Or just go to the telegram office down the street deom the police office. If you hace done certain things in Tarant (I forget which ) you will just be able to send a telgram to the demonologist. You don't even have to leave the town.

Also, I have no memories of these storm knights.

Thats the door I mean. The knock three times door. I have just stumbled upon it and I wonder if I should leave it until a quest directs me to it.

 

If that door is where I think it is, you will come accross it later in the game as part of the main plot if you follow the good path.
