Hi to all. I played Divinity and now have been playing Beyond Divinity for about 3 weeks. I have several questions that I hope Raze or someone else can answer. If they are repetitive please forgive me because I have not checked the forum for some time.
Here are the questions (pertains to Acts I and II):
1. Shaman - I made the mistake of going to the alchemist with the 3 items he needed to make the cure before getting the Hammer spell level 5 from the hermit in the spider forest. I have a Hammer spell level 2 right now. I have tried killing him using a combination of ethereal and normal arrows and have swords that do large damage (55-110 in one of them, for example). I have yet to find a way to beat him. Any advice you can give?
2. Imp Village - If I am in the battlefield area can I reach the crossable lava from there? I don't recall where the crossing area is. My idea was that if I can't defeat the shaman right now that at least I can walk all the way back from the battlefield area to the Imp Village and from there go see the hermit in the spider forest.
3. Traps- What good are the traps for? I have scorpion level 4 but when I right click to use all I see are a few small, green colored scorpions that don't move. I suppose the idea is for an enemy to step on them. Is there no equivalent to the scorpion trap in Divinity (where a real scorpion was released to help you)? I have not tried other traps. Are there any you recommend? Until now I usually just sell them to the merchants.
4. Summoning Dolls - I have found no use for the one I got in Act I nor for the demonic doll I found in the spider forest in Act II. The only thing they help me with is to go through areas that have been trapped where if I or the DK went there would be instant death. They are also good to store items you can't carry but not much help in a fight. Also, they never seem to get skill points when my character and the DK advance a level. Can they only advance by using my skill points on them as an upgrade?
5. Lockpick skill - I have level 6 but it never works. I understand that this is a bug. Has a patch been released already? I am playing version 1.45.
6. Mushroom forest - I cleared the forest before I met the imp farmer that gave the quest to find his wife. My understanding is that two ghosts have her and are to the south of the imp farmer's hut but I have yet to see them. Is this a bug or the fact that I cleared the forest before I talked to the imp farmer somehow interrupted the quest? Also, when I entered the cave where you get to a tree the tree did not speak to me and I did not get a choice of a gift (though there were several items around the tree). Same problem as with the ghosts?
7. Moving Files - I have been using my brother's computer to play the game but he will probably move soon and take it with him. Is there any way to copy the main files of the game and email them to myself so that I can open them in another computer and not have to play the game from scratch?
I hope you someone out there can help. Thanks.
