Re: Main site content which needs updating

BTW, about the other things on that page... "...and nobody should be using Windows XP or older now so it’s gone" - the CP is fully compatible with WinXP in any case... tested on XP, even. "There is also the option to use DGvoodoo during install which emulates a 3DFX Voodoo2 card"...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

Sounds good :D

As for me possibly playing it - it's one of those things that I'd first like to actually see in action before deciding, precisely because I have 0 practical experience with these kinds of games.

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

Yes, I realize what that is. As I have already said, I don't know any specifics, but I do know the basic premise. It's just that as an engineer, I tend to value consistency, as it makes everything easier for everyone involved :D My "you could add these locations" remark was just that - I j...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

Well, in the end, Drakan 3 didn't see the light of day - and in all probability, never will - so I'd say go for it. Furthermore, because Sony still owns the copyright, any fanmade content under the Drakan name (eg. new levels, game mods/total conversions) can never progress beyond the requirement to...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

the logical explanation being the Dark Union got hold of his soul crystal and awakened him then made him to serve them. Hmm. Since it doesn't seem that physical distance matters in this case, then as long as the crystal still exists somewhere , there's probably a way to magically hotwire the crysta...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

in Drakan: TAG the Dragon Mother / spirit dragon put all of the remaining dragons of the Order and 'neutral' dragons to eternal sleep though some chose to follow her through the ancient gate into the asteral plane. Ambiguously worded, at least without some context being provided. You're referring t...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

Were could I find a World Map include all the areas from both games in one picture? I'm not aware of complete world map floating around. All I know about that is that Drakan:OOTF suffers from some strange geographical protection fault: its maps have mixed up cardinal directions, amongst other thing...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

Yes I have seen Dragonheart one of my favorite movies lol. But I wasn't even thinking about that lol. I feel it would for a good mantra to tell the villagers and towns people, especially when you need money and "other" essentials. Works a lot better when you have your own dragon around, t...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

See that the one creating these copies of the soul gems is an Elder Breed I would think that they already have an understanding of how the gems work and how to copy one. Not neccesarily true. Again to use a real-world analogy - while the majority of people can use highly complicated devices (eg. ca...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

gather real dragon stones(only 1 or 2) At this point it's important to maintain the distinction between the Dragonstone (the artifact, which there is only 1 of) and the Soul Gems, which were made using the Dragonstone's powers. Which is why I suggested that the original Dragonstone had to be examin...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

But these Fake stones are a much better Idea given that they have imperfections. Right. So the fake Dragonstone creates "lesser soul gems", which can then be used to form a "fake Bond" with the lesser race dragons. And because it only has a limited number of uses and can't be re...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

The game just states that many followed Arokhs example and went to sleep also. It doesn't say that all of them did. So I think its possible for their to be a small handful of Elder Breed in the world still awake. Well, most of them perished in the Dark Wars - and of those few that survived, most (i...

Re: Pathfinder Drakan Edition

As for the setting I was thinking that a hundred years ADW would be long enough that everyone involved in the war would be dead Not all the races have the same lifespans... Orcs and Wartoks would probably be similar to humans in that regard, maybe a bit longer lived; but succubi and giants would li...

Since the next release of the Community Patch is upcoming in the next few days (due to the recent release of AiO patch build 139), here are another two improved maps: ------------------------------------- The Keep (Duel) v2 : This one primarily needed some background music, but I also took the oppor...
