A few random questions

1. Where do you find the master of Persuasion?

2. If you kill virgil at any time during the game, can you still win?

3. Where do you get the expert of Bow?

4. Does anyone actually bother becoming an expert in herbology or potions or anything like that??

5. I have an automotron... in fact, i've had one forever... what can I do with it?? Should I just drop the damned thing?

6. Is there any way to prove the Stillwater Beast exists?

7. Is there anywhere online I can get a list of ways to get fatepoints?


Thank you!

1) Willoughsby residence, Tarant, after you retrun from Qintarra in the main plotline.

2) Yes, you brute you.

3) Elite Bow Captain in Dernholm. Probably.

4) Only if you want to take NEWT levels.

5) Toss it on the ground.

6) No.

7) http://rpgplanet.com/arcanum/questinfo/fatepoints.shtml

 

If you want to be the kind of character who lets his followers do all the fighting for him, Herbology and therapeutics do make sense. You can take an extra follower specializing in fighting instead of Jayna, and boost up your followers stats to insane levels with drugs from Therapeutics (tip: when you use many drugs on the same character, you get a COMBINED effect. Using elixir of strength (+2 ST, + 2CN) and Muscle Maker (+1 to all physical stats) on the same character, you give them +3ST. Add Energiser and Revitalizer- and your followers are a bunch of unstoppable terminators.

 

Speaking of automatons, what's the deal with the automaton gunner? As soon as I throw it on the ground, it turns into a regular one.

 

Be grateful that they work at all

 

Heh. Word, dude. :lol:

 

Might I ask where you got the schematic for the automaton gunner? The character editor perhaps? If you hack your game you shouldn't expect everything to work as promised, especially when you try to get an item that doesn't exist.

 

Well, if you wanted too, you could edit the Automon proto file and make an Automon Gunner, than edit the Automon Gunner schematic to make the ACTUAL Gunner, not a misnamed regular Automon. While your at it, fix the Explosive Decoy, it would basically just be editing a decoy that, after being released it triggers a dynamite blast after 3 seconds. Oh, you could get me cofee too!

 

Ah, thank you all!

Much appreciated.... I came back from Quintarra, after looking at the gravestone... now what?

Oh, yes! My apologies, can Arcanum be run in a window?

 

actually Canis, it can be found in the game! if you go get the suit of armor in Ashbury for the guy you have to kill an Automaton (not advised for anyone lower than level 30) and you can find a automaton: gunner schematic down there, and I like my automaton, he's a VERY useful fighter... mainly b/c I carry one, and have one fighting, so I don't care if he dies.

 

Actually, Matt, that's a normal automaton schematic.

 

Oh, alright. I admit! I cheated myself to that schematic!

I'm so ashamed of myself right now. :sad2:

 

Well, you have to cheat to get it, but if anyone feels like making an update with those idea I gave you, go ahead. You could add the damn thing to Arcanum if you want, I just think it might be nice if what the programmers made to work worked. Course, that doesn't mean I want to do it, because I'm lazy, and have school, and 5 other excuses :/

 

uhhhhhh, that was the first ashbury quest i completed, at level 8. just molotov cocktail him into submission.

 

that was just warning Sleek, I went in there and got pounded... well, I bought or found it, b/c I don't know how to hack it... so it has to be found somewhere in the game... I'll search out a site to find where it is buy-able, and then I'll give you the local it can be found in. (note: this post will very shorly become a spoiler!)

 

Well, if you have the shopkeepers hack, it can be weird, like I got the explosive Decoy schematic from, spoilers i guess


the smith at the Wheel Clan. It's a clockwork decoy and a grenade, but when you throw it, nothing it looks like you dropped it.

 

oh yea!! heh... I forgot I have that... I'll have to see if that is WHY I have the schematic...

 

Well, the way the shopkeeper hack works, or at least the way I THINK it works, others may be better able to tell you, is that it doesn't change the items the shop provides, just the percentage of those items being provided. The inventory source for urban gunsmiths, for example, there is like a default 3% chance of the gunsmith having a schematic, like charged accelerator gun. The hack changes that to a 100% chance of the shop having it, therefore, the shop will always have that schematic. So the stores that sell Automon Gunner or Explosive Decoy COULD sell you them without the hack, assuming those schematics were still under the 3 or so % chance thing, but it is very unlinkely.

 

arent there a few schematics that are only available the first time you enter a store? i think i remember reading that in an older thread...

 

I have no idea about that, but I don't know how that would be scripted. Unless there was a command that set a timer and at the end changed the inventory source of the shop owner, in that case I suppose it COULD be possible.
