Re 1-time use items, think one work-around was to set charges to '2' -but not sure that always works. Did you ever make it thru the entire game? No I stopped trying because after I fixed Cellars level 2 I started crashing at the saved game screen. I'm also not at all happy with the broken 1 charge ...

Finally get to craft a few items, but the dragon figurine I crafted won't work. I read that there's an updated items file to fix it but the link is dead (geocities). Any way I can fix this annoying bug with 1 time use items not working? If there's a fairly easy way to edit the files myself I'll do t...

The game sounds AMAZING with Creative's CMSS2 setting

If you have an Audigy or X-FI with the CMSS option, I highly recommend you try it with this game. Use CMSS2. It adds a wonderful 3D stereo effect that sounds tons better than without CMSS2, or even CMSS. It's not quite true stereo, and it's obviously not 3D positioning, but the effect sounds close e...

Odd, picMake says it can't be run with DOS. It's DOSbox though so maybe that has something to do with it.

I downloaded the tools but have no idea how to use them :( It came with an uninstaller but no installer, and none of the .exe files work. It also has a readme in .ijg format which I've never heard of. It's all very alien.

What's the older 2.0 version? I patched to 2.0 then to the unofficial 2.01b, and no mods yet (I prefer playing the vanilla version of a game through to the end before adding mods, unless they're bug-fixing mods) How do you guys deal with the ranged attacks? I'm not sure how to after 25 or so years o...

The game is buggy and monster ranged attacks are OP. Why do cruemen and nomads attack each other, and why does everything attack even my rear ranks, including giant spiders biting my mages? It's not what I thought it would be. The prevalence of monster ranged attacks is killing it for me. They never...

How do you advance time to the next morning?

Besides the bugginess of the game, like wrong messages, what I miss most from Bard's Tale is the ability to exit the Adventurer's Hall and have it be the next morning. I can't even seem to enter taverns when it's night time. I'm absolutely stuck at night with no way to advance time besides (R)est wh...
