    How can I get back on the Isle of Despair? All I did was talk to Thorvald Two Stones, accepted a few quests from the locals, went back to the ship to see if the ship captain (forgot his name) was still there, and when I talked to him, it lead me through a series of dialouge in which I was only able to agree with him to take me back to Ashbury. Now, the captain will just say "Let me know if I can help you again" or some crap. I also cannot teleport there. It says my path is obstructed. I know this question has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it after searching for a while. Please help!!!

    One visit only. No second chances.

    There's 3 places you can't teleport to in the game - Isle of Despair, the place in the top right corner (***SPOILER*** It's the Void) and another place later on in the game...

    Are you serious?!!??!?! What kinda jack-schitt is that? There is no way at all to get back???? I mean, the only reason I talked to the ship captain was because someone inside the prison said that he was probably already gone. So I went outside, saw dead bodies, and I talked to him. He then took me back without me having a choice. This sucks @$$

    I agree that this is just one of the idiotic moments Trioka had when developing this game. There are several. In fact it is one of the buggiest, problem riddled, game I have ever enjoyed. It is a strong testament to the quality of the game that I put up with all the stupid crap that should have been fixed pre release and still enjoy it so much.

    All I can say is, I was also caught in this trap and all I could do is restore to an earlier point. I finished the quests that I could (Never DID find the monster north of the outpost) and left.

    On a related note, the only way I could find to get the glasses from the dwarf was to kill him. This seemed rather harsh but I had no other ideas. Is this going to hurt me later in the game? Should I start over now?

    i got caught the same way with the ship captain taking me back to mainland, you really need to save often in this game in case you screw something up which happens frequently to me, you also don't need to take the glasses from 2stones as long as he tells you about them, you can get some made at the spectacle shop in ashbury, make sure you have a kathorn crystal though, it's a required item, as to it hurting you i don't know i never killed him.

    Oh well, is there anything of importance on the Isle of Despair since I can never go back? (even though I did promise all those people to do their quests...)

    actually there is another important quest on the isle...
    the quest of Maxemilian.

    ((spoiler))

    because if you won't do his quest you wont be able to save Cumbria.

    Think about it. It says "A place unimportant". The whole game has to fit on the world map. So they just stuck it (the Void) in the most out of the way place possible. The whole game fits onto a 2000x2000 sector map. The Void has to fit in somewhere...it's just logical.

    Island of Despair:
    3 found schematics
    5 ancient items
    5 quests
    Also, you can kill the people there and not decrease ur aligment cause all are crooks there(with the exception of Thorvald Two Stone's guard, I dont know why), and loot their items :p.

    Sounds fun. Go to Isle of Despair, solve all the quests, kill all the people. It is great. Try fighting in the pit for a little bit too. You can get some descent weapons from the chic you kill.

    sure, I found it. If you follow the eastern side near the coastline you will find tracks
