    What is the best, most complete walkthrough you know of?

    I am using this one:
    http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/ ... anum_a.txt
    There are some things it does not cover though.
    So which one do you consider the best?

    I would especially be interested in a list of items which tells me whether an item has to be made by me or can be acquired by other means.

    Like for example
    Feather Weight Axe: Magnus (makes), Wheel Clan Smith (sales)
    Tesla Rod: has to be made by yourself

    Is there something like this?

    The one on the main site here is good. As for schematics... I don't think there is. Yet.

    On the same page there is an arcanum_c.txt. Another lengthy walkthrough. 1+1=more info. Here is another cool link on info(NPC list), both guides are kinda fail to deliver.

    I used the on one gamebanshee.com. In most cases it doesn't spoil much and it gives a nice overview of the quests.

    Thx.

    The Equipment Database at gamebanshee.com is pretty much what I was looking for.

    One thing i h8 on gamebanshee is that it always lists all chapters at the right side of the screen. One wrong eye move, and you know how big the game is, and how long its 'till the end. But the equipment database is nice yeh.

    Is it REALLY that much more of an effort to type the 'ate' instead of an '8'.
    ooo, two extra key strokes...must rest now.

    Yeesh. Y'know, Gamebanshee is hardly a site big on spoilers. If your only complaint is that you now know vaguely how long it is, then chances are you haven't even finished reading the game box.

    I beg to differ, prime example - Bioware's Jade Empire. In case you havent played it yet - forget what i said.
