I'd go so far as to say I remember it being better overall than the MT32 music I've just listened to. Whilst the MT32 is technically and accoustically superior the Adlib music emphasized the heartbeat and made going through dark dungeons that bit more exciting. At least, that's how I remember it..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-72225818102682914822007-08-01T04:18:00.000-07:002007-08-01T04:18:00.000-07:00by the way, anyone by any chance know how to solve...by the way, anyone by any chance know how to solve the lever puzzle in covetous i.e. getting the one in the very north room of lvl1 to work?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-38858403897475896322007-04-09T07:46:00.000-07:002007-04-09T07:46:00.000-07:00Cast Mass Invisibility or use invisibility rings t...Cast Mass Invisibility or use invisibility rings to get through Destard. Have a few glass swords ready too.<BR/><BR/>Also, the Despise complex only connects to one other dungeon which I believe is Heroes Hole near the shrine of Honor.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of shrines, the shrine of Humility and the shrine of the Codex have merely reversed locations from U5. Follow the same path to the Abyss you took in U4. You will need to use your skiff to get there. It's kinda baffling why they made this change in U6 then switched it back in U7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-10109160125426258942007-04-09T06:18:00.000-07:002007-04-09T06:18:00.000-07:00Destard would be the right place to use any Storm ...Destard would be the right place to use any Storm Cloaks you picked up on the way. They work like the Crown in Ultima 5, preventing enemies (and you?) from casting spells. Dragons are still tough without spells, though.<BR/><BR/>You know, you can get a free magic bow in Britain. Go to Gwenneth and ask for a magic bow, but make sure you DON'T have enough money to buy it. Iolo's acquaintance comes as an advantage because she'll just give it to you free of charge ('on credit', but you will obviously never return it).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-79829976225163153072007-04-08T22:47:00.000-07:002007-04-08T22:47:00.000-07:00My favourite tactic with Destard is to run down th...My favourite tactic with Destard is to run down the teacher of Thariand of the Blue Star and enchant one of his wares with mass invis spells.<BR/><BR/>It's the Trinsic armorer who sells magic armour. Doug the Eagle has a nifty trick with a couple of spells which allows a suit to be duplicated easily and cheaply. Animate a suit, clone it repeatedly, and kill the copies to wear. Mind you, as I recall he mentions not to try that with weapons... like the glass sword. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-61833601946050037142007-04-08T21:33:00.000-07:002007-04-08T21:33:00.000-07:00Destard is a rough dungeon in the game, and the dr...Destard is a rough dungeon in the game, and the dragons, if I do recall, tend to pound on you pretty hard when you piss them off. The drakes don't make it easy either, sniping from the wings as they do.<BR/><BR/>The best way to tackle the dungeon is with lots of invisibility spell reagents, but you'll have to build up to level 5 to get that.<BR/><BR/>Also, one of the armorers sells magic armor, if I am not mistaken. Is it the guy in Trinsic? Meh...can't quite remember, but you can buy it somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
