    1)I'm in the Wheel clan and the dwarf who is supposed to send me to Stonecutter clan doesn't wake up(for a few days and nights already). Any ideas what can be done?
    2) How good is the dwarf king's axe? Its stats aren't very impressive, but it's supposed to deal increased damage in a dwarf's hands. But is it worth giving it to Magnus if he already has a pyro axe?
    3)I have a place for one more follower (right now I have Jayna, Sog the half ogre, Magnus and the dog, and I'm a good tech character). Who should I chose? Raven from Quintarra, the lizardman, the dark elf, or is there anyone else worthy?

    It's a bug. I don't know if anyone managed to find a way around it.

    2) How good is the dwarf king's axe? Its stats aren't very impressive, but it's supposed to deal increased damage in a dwarf's hands. But is it worth giving it to Magnus if he already has a pyro axe?

    I'd say no.

    3)I have a place for one more follower (right now I have Jayna, Sog the half ogre, Magnus and the dog, and I'm a good tech character). Who should I chose? Raven from Quintarra, the lizardman, the dark elf, or is there anyone else worthy?

    I had exactly the same party and it is a very strong one. You could get either Loghaire (but he joins very late in game) or Franklin Payne (same for him). Personally I had to leave out one character as my party got too strong which made the fights boring. I'd suggest leaving Magnus (he's not too strong) or Dog since he can't carry anything.

    Magnus at level 42 isn't bad at all, though he could be a bit faster (maybe I should take his plate mail off). The dog doesn't count, he's "free", so I can still get one more. And I don't mind my party being too strong, I'm at level 50 and can't grow any stronger

    Tell all your followers to wait, summon something and attack it. The dwarf will panic and wake up.

    Hi, I'm new here btw.

    Hi Studly duck and welcome. I'm pretty much a newbie here myself. Thanks for the advice but I'm a tech character, don't think I can summon even a smallest fly :lol: Maybe I should attack a door...

    You could go and enlist the help of an extra follower and kick the snot outta them... :evil: :D

    Harrow sucks. :puke:

    You can't get Z'an if you are good. The lizzard is good, but Raven is a healer as well as an archer. Franklyn Payne is great company, but later in the game.

    BTW, Jormund, the Dwarf mage, is free once you ask him to wait & rejoin.

    Harrow does not suck. I thought that once, but until I used it with my dwarf with 100 alignment, I had max strength (21) and I could deal the same damage as with a PyroAxe I did around 52-64 normal damage; yeah, the pyroaxe does fire, but Harrow is good anyway in the right hands. :grin:

    Thanks. So far I got Jormund and the mage from Tulla, don't remember his name, then changed that mage for Sebastian (I'm a tech after all). Now I want the lizard but I can't get the dialog right, Kan-Kerai doesn't let me sort it out without killing the poachers. I have charisma of 12 and 2 points of expert persuasion+elixir and intelligence 19, but it doesn't help much. Another question: who else is free except for Jormund, Dante and the dog? Are arachnides free?

    I always had to kill the poachers. The best thing I got was that Bedokans didn't wage a full scale war against humans.

    Arachnids as well as automatons are free.

    Persuasion must be at least 3 & maybe over three, I forget.

    Thorvald, the dwarf who runs the Isle of Dispair is free, but there is a trick to keeping him. Mechanical & summoned folowers are free. If you have CH 20, there are a few, like Swyft, who won't leave, but she is a pain.[/quote]

    How about 20CH and telling him to wait every time you want to visit the Wheel Clan? I know it smells of cheating but if someone wanted to keep him really badly...

    For me, at least, whether or not he's in a coma depends on what time of day I first enter the Wheel Clan from the outside. If I enter during the day, he's awake. If I enter at night, he's forever comatose. Took more than a few reloads to figure that one out.

    Or maybe it depends on what time of day I first enter that particular level of the Wheel Clan..... I didn't try that. In any case, daytime is the right time. :)

    Of course, if you don't have a convenient save I suppose it's not much help then.

    No, he is free, you could get him with the CH of a rock, as long as you have 2 or more presuasion. You only need to leave him outside the first time you get to the Wheel Clan. The dialog with the guards is his trigger to leave & you only get that once.

    I wrote that CH regarding a way to keep him not to join him temporalily.

    Just to let you know: If you want an extra follower that doesn't take any character points, get the Medical Arachnid from Maximillian. Just give him the camera from the crash.

    Erm.... Sometimes, however, I have trouble with any Medical follower (Decoy Physition and Medical Arachnid)... When I throw them, they don't activate... They just sit there like I had just dropped them.

    Another thing: When I made a Automaton Gunner, It says it, but when I throw it, it turns back into a normal Automaton, and when I pick it up again, it says it is a normal Automaton too. Why?

    Because there is no automaton gunner in the game. The only way, that I know of, to get the schematic is by cheating your saved game with a save editor.
