Bug Fixes[edit]

Additionally, some bugs of the game got fixed:

  • Some correct copy protection answers at Mariah, did not work. They do now.
  • Some keywords in Zellivans convo were double, so the correct answers did not show up. They do now.
  • Same for Boskin: some double keywords eliminated.
  • Andrea in Yew now responds when asked about "Lenora", "Lady" and "Mayor". Originally she would have referred you to the folks in the tavern and would only respond to "Chancellor".
  • The final "CONGRATULATIONS! Report thy Feat!" Screen is up to date.
  • Jaana, who is a profilic magician in U5 and U7 is now able to cast magic in U6 as well
