Some strangeness
   

In the past week, I've had 2 interesting things happen in the game-- things that really don't make sense, but the game didn't think to handle the special situations.

1) While fighting the golem the guards the bridge between the Northern Wilderness and the Mountain Wilderness, he attacked me by throwing stones. It was funny to see him pull those rocks out of the wooden bridge suspended hundreds of feet above the water.

2) In the Mountain Wilderness. there's a cave behind the waterfall. While ID'ing all the goodies, I was attacked by wandering blistering scorchers. The fiery critters stood under the waterfall while attacking me.

This game certainly handles most special situations very well. But as you can see - not all of them.
I guess we all played games with so many strange situations (enemies walking in air, dead bodies falling through walls...). As I said, I think this games handles special situations very well.

I agree, Danicek. When things like this come up, I always think of the Uberhorse from Wizards and Warriors-- he swims, he climbs walls, he carries entire parties, occasionally he flies...

Game paradoxs are one the most amusing things you can do with games after finishing them. I always was amused by the fact that Gorn in Ultima 6 could carry a skiff and a hot air balloon on his back at the same time while slicing enemies to ribbons.
