Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General I AM A SHADOW SWEEPER

A shadow sweeper!! YEAH.!! I always call me A SHADOW SWEEPER,wherever in BG or NWN or TOEE or here in Divine Divinity.What i high on in these games is to get rid all the shadow on the map.I will not leave behind even a very little brick of shadow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Think maybe it's a strange practice.
How about you guys? Anyone perform the same as me?
P.S I have no such ailment to force me to do sth. special (like wash hands GZZzzz) in normal life. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

I tried to clear as much as possible, but didn't go to any special effort to do so.

To clear the most fog-of-war, try a combination of;

• Max Elven Sight (much more effective) and Ranger Sight (if you have the skill points to spare and really want to maximize your sight range).
• Keep any equipment you find with sight bonuses, to use when exploring.
• Toss a teleporter stone onto/into inaccessible regions and move around by repeatedly tossing one stone and teleporting to it (you are not suppose to be up on most mountains, across the river in the south east corner of the dark forest, etc, and will not be able to walk there).
• Cast Wizard's Sight twice in the same location (cast it a second time before the fog-of-war fills in again from the first, and it will remain clear). Hold the shift key down to move the screen focus away from your character and towards the area you want to clear.

Hmmm... a strange way of passing the time, I must say.

heh I don't like seeing any shadows when I'm looking for somthing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> and it just bugs me if there is foor some reason <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Well, in this game you could miss something significant the 1st time you play unless you look at every nook and cranny.

Dude I really can't leave ANY black or I go back and check it, no matter what in dungeon's or dark forest everywhere I check every nook and cranny for every secret weapon or armor <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

True it was one of the best things to do in BG <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I'm the same, tucking myself into every corner to get that extra foot of sight. What a bunch of geeky perfectionists we are! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I personally prefer the "explorer" style of gameplay <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> : I usually explore the whole area, looking for things to find out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

So, "shadow sweeping" isn't new to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Yup know what you mean but I really got caught doing that, while playing Age of Conquerers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm the same way, just hate to see black areas on my map

Nothing unusual about trying to explore the whole map. I am afraid to miss something good. Its just like barrels in Diablo 2 I kick every one of them... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Being a Bowazon I just shoot them all at once preferably <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

You can actually shoot them ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Maybe if you hold SHIFT (stay still and shoot)?

this is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> chat not rpg chat....

Very true. You get used to it, though. It started on the topic of Divine Divinity...

oooh buddies, finally I find myself not alone here to be a shadow sweeper.:)
But in D.D game, the map is 2 large than those seperated map in BG or PST,U guys know it's so tired to serch such a large map, and you know the feeling that I find there still be bricks of fog somewhere after a long time serching. HMMmmm.... LARIANS, YOU ALWAYS MAKE MY HANDS SO FATIGUE.
"WHAT ? there exists the cheat code for NO FOG ? OOHhh dun tell me plz... actually I love 2 be a shadow sweeper <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />."

The fog is actually your friend in DD because without it you don't know where you haven't been.

no there is a hack in diablo 2 that lets you see everything but it also shows where the bad guys are.
