Also, as you explore, touch every space. you look and see a dead end but never move to the space at the dead end, could be something there (stairs perhaps?)
More like Kaiser Permanente--pharma would give you an antidote potion. Here the Temple folks lay their hands on you and use magic--like a normal doc would
Thank you for doing this LP :-) I played this game years ago on C64 and I spent many hours to beat the game - hopefully you will keep on playing it to the end ;-) You always should use the bard song "Travellers tune" and the "Mystic Shield" Magician Spell to lower your AC - very helpfull for low level chars ;-) Excuse my bad english and best greetings from germany ^^
Tip: use Magic Compass spell. This also locks your mini-map to always-north instead of rotating all the time. Tip: to use a lamp/torch, step 1 Equip it. Step 2 "use item" to actually use it 😆🔥
GH, cast mystic shield..also once you clear a darkness zone you can recast light. It’s a magical darkness that snuffs out all light sources and in later levels hide nasty traps. Casting Levitate will help...
58:35 *"This is the most...fucking confusing maps I've ever seen."* Oh, my poor child. As the song goes, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Wait 'til you get to the third game of this trilogy. _(cackles maniacally)_
this game is brutal. I just bought it two days ago and started it. Now on Saturday i have more than 20h playtime on steam. though this lvl shit is really annoying in a way. Reloading on bad rolls can take so much time and your gameplay with the speech and sounds you emmit just awesome. Like it very much. Currently in sewers lvl2 and it´s getting horrible with all the mobs on respawn when you are coming back from town. You enter your last visited spot with around half sp and then have 2 or 3 big fights down and hell back to town. But that´s bards´tale aye? Dragon Wars is awesome.I am playing the old version - got a nice deal on steam. I would love a remake of ishar1-3 but with better spell description and so on. I never could get along with them in the old ways the game was designed.
Yep, battle songs are for battles when you need something specific---exploration songs more the lingering sort. Also, seems what instrument you use affects the song music outright...which is a neat extra effort for mixing it up on the instruments. Here you see the dungeons just getting outright vindictive as something of a hallmark of the series compared to most where the enemies are about the only thing to really worry about. Compass spell that somebody has might come in handy. I will never, never get tired of seeing Ron Stock kick dead bodies from the party on the randoms---it just works so well as far as mental images go~ There's some good quality of life(save you ample time on healing for one) and outright enhancements updates in the beta branch as of right now, so hopefully those updates will roll on into an update proper in the near future---I believe there might even be something of a means of increasing the view window size to partake even more of the atmosphere.
Lamps and torches are annoying. First you have to equip them. Then you have to return to the inventory menu and use them. You can have each character equip a torch/lamp and it won't use up an inventory slot that you could otherwise use to collect loot to sell later.

I tend to want to map out the entire floor first, just to get a feel for things. Then I go back and mop up.
What bugs me is unlike Ultima, there was no "Cure Poison" spell -- then again, how else would they get their cash at the temple?
Even in video games.... big pharma at work :)

Then my Temple doc has no magic.... still broken from the military

If you get disoriented, cast Scry Site.

I don't know why but I like the old way of AC going lower then what D&D has now.
I grew up in the era of AD&D 2nd edition and was born into negative AC and THAC0... I have to agree with you to an extent.
you will need to make a Rogue at some point. Without a rogue BT3 is unbeatable.
Try examining the chests...you don’t have to cast trap zap every time
Saves on mp to. Rougess are really helpful there
I am here while I wait for Silver Blades to drop!
GH has been kill'n it on Silver Blades!
I am looking forwards to see what happens here!
LoWang hits like a motherfraker !!!

UUUUUUUSSSSSEEEEEE lamp
"ahhh shit!! more darkness!!" epic statement xD
I think "use" lamps might be the way to activate the lamps? Which you found out...hey it happens to the best of us.

yeah nobody needs those :)
Once the Bard gets the fire horn things speed up. Or was it horn of fire?
I have two now :-)
Mp do not regen in dark.
Only with a mage staff or mp regen square.
And those won't stop encounters
Man LoWang is badass :-)
i am an empty builingy
Tarjan....
