Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Just a few questions from a newbie

1. What the heck is UBBCode?
2. What on earth are all the books and manuscripts for...I gained a skill when I found 3 of the same series of a book....but what are the manuscripts for..the pictures...are they all for skill gains and does anyone have a faq on where to find the more useful books?
3. I'm running out of monsters...will they respawn when I reach a certain point?
4. Has anyone else found the carry along bed? Is it for real or is it a glitch?
I love having it along and it weighs nothing.
5.What is up with the alchemists stuff. I have made a couple of them change colors by adding different powders...do they have any purpose or is it just for asthetics? Not to be to morbid but what is up with the body parts? Are they useable for anything (gag)? Does anyone have a list of mixable stuff?
6. Are there patches for adding items? Adding abilities?
7. Has anyone else ever gotten stuck behind a wall in the dwarven mines?
8. how do I get up on the elevated areas in the world map. There are very few stairs and some areas have stuff up there.
9. What are the divine powers and when will they show up?

Ok,ok.....I had more then a few questions. I would sit here and play this game till I figured it all out myself...but you try killing orcs with 2 toddlers to take care of.



Hey!!!! Since there are only 2 cures for the plague victems...can you kill one then rez them to cure them????
heheh

Heeheh...I just thought of that one.

Peace,
Mintavia

As for the cure potions, just give one potion to one of the people and then pick their pocket to get the potion back. After that, just give the other two people their cure potions. Save first, as you may get cought. I had lvl 2 pick pocket at the time and it worked just fine. Dont worry about the skills too much in the game.

Have fun,

Pystal

[color:"orange"]1. What the heck is UBBCode?[/color]

It's like HTML, but it uses square brackets instead. It's mostly used to prevent people typing malicious code into the forums.

[color:"orange"]2. What on earth are all the books and manuscripts for...I gained a skill when I found 3 of the same series of a book....but what are the manuscripts for..the pictures...are they all for skill gains and does anyone have a faq on where to find the more useful books?[/color]

Atmosphere! If you can translate the manuscripts, they can give you some hints.

[color:"orange"]3. I'm running out of monsters...will they respawn when I reach a certain point?[/color]

Nope, never. The game has limited montsers, and hence, limited experience. Unless you start resurecting them...

[color:"orange"]4. Has anyone else found the carry along bed? Is it for real or is it a glitch?

That was a bonus. It started as a glitch, but they decided to leave it in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[color:"orange"]5.What is up with the alchemists stuff. I have made a couple of them change colors by adding different powders...do they have any purpose or is it just for asthetics?

Each colour has a different property. Can someone please post a link to the Alchemy Spoiler thread.

[color:"orange"]6. Are there patches for adding items? Adding abilities?[/color]

There's a Save Game Editor and an Item Editor floating about. (Links?)

[color:"orange"]7. Has anyone else ever gotten stuck behind a wall in the dwarven mines?[/color]

Some people have gone exploring through "In-between World" and created extensive maps. You can find some interesting things that were removed from the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[color:"orange"]8. how do I get up on the elevated areas in the world map. There are very few stairs and some areas have stuff up there.[/color]

If there's no stairs, there's no need to get up there. You can throw a Teleporter Stone up there if you really want to have a look, though.

[color:"orange"]9. What are the divine powers and when will they show up?[/color]

One you're The Divine One! They're not particularly good, although one is a necessity to finish the game.

[color:"orange"]Hey!!!! Since there are only 2 cures for the plague victems...can you kill one then rez them to cure them????
heheh

Heeheh...I just thought of that one.[/color]

I don't know if that would work. I doubt you'd get the experience. But you can pick pocket the cure from one of them, or murder one after giving the cure to get it back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

More on the in-between world;

EASTEREGGS and RUNE manuscripts (spoilers)

Yes. You will get exp points for all 3.

What mintavia means is can you give two of the potions away, then kill the third person so that the plague dies off (no host), then resurect the poor sod into good health? (At least, that's my interperitation.)

Ah. Yes you are right Handyfood. What I meant by my answer was that you could give a "plague" victim a potion, get the exp points and then kill them and pick up the cure bottle. Now would that be chaotic evil?

Chaotic Evil would be breaking the cures over their heads and then killing them all personally.

No kidding???? Do we get exp points for rezed monsters?????

Now about that teleporter pyramid and gettting to other areas...I feel soooooo
stupid. Why oh why didn't I think of that.

What is the average level of a character by the end of a game?

You people are so clever!

Peace,
Mintavia

Yes, you can get experience points for resurrecting a monster, leaving so it turns hostile, then returning to kill it again.

The average end character level is in the range of mid forties to low fifties.
