Here's the latest roundup of forum happenings over at the official site:
MrSmilefaceDude talks about soul trapping:
Remember how Soul Trap works in Morrowind. You cast the spell on a creature, and then you have to kill the creature before the Soul Trap spell expires. Then, if you have empty soul gems in your inventory, the soul will be placed in the smallest soul gem in which the soul will fit. You can soul trap summoned creatures, but you still have to kill them -- and while, being in your group, they might forgive you a few hits, they WILL defend themselves.
On Magic resistance:
Anyway, many of the spell effects such as resistance or weakness to fire are additive in nature. By default, you have zero resistance to fire. If a resistance to fire effect is added due to your race or birthsign, that resistance number is increased by the magnitude of each effect. If you also have a weakness to fire effect, that will be subtracted from the number.
So suppose you have a 75 resistance to fire from being a Dark Elf, and The Lord gives you a 100 weakness to fire. You'll end up with a -25 weakness to fire. Similarly, if you had 0 resistance to fire and you chose The Lord as your birthsign, you'd have a -100 resistance to fire. Note that these numbers are not necessarily the final numbers you'll see in the game, but it illustrates the point.
Anyway, this resistance value is added in to the resistance formula, along with other factors such as your willpower and fatigue and the caster's casting chance, and that dictates how much (or if) a magic effect affects you.
Donutbringer on how to gain ranks in guilds:
1) yes and no. you need to sometimes complete several quests in order to raise a rank. additionally, some skills and attributes need to be at a certain level before you raise rank. (skill/attribute requirements to attain the next ranking in a guild are displayed when you mouse over your current ranking in the stats window.)
2) to some extent you can. sometimes you need to complete certain quests before others will be offered. there is not one fixed way to complete all the quests, but often times you must complete X number of quests before the ability to raise a rank is possible, regardless of the order in which you complete them.
3) depends on what you consider a grand finale. for the most part the last quest is extremely difficult, but the advantages of completing all quests are numerous and well-worth the effort. (you'll find out when you play the game and do it yourself. i don't like to spoil anything.)
th-th-th-th-that's all folks! |
