There and Back Again bugs, etc.

#1 Post by Susramanian »

If you take the Far East portal from the bottom of Moria while having already been in the Far East, you still get the same the message about appearing in an unfamiliar land.

Choosing to give Tannen the orb the second time he asks results in him sending you to Orthanc but not actually removing your orb from your inventory. I thus finished the whole quest line with two Orbs of Many Ways!

Enemies in Moria and Orthanc are way too low level. Any character who has gotten this far has survived the Armory, so this is a joke.

Plopped down in some cell, you must escape!
Should be a period, not a comma.

Tannen's g boss at the end was an 'unknown actor'

Meranas hangs around after making the portal. You can't talk to him, and bumping into him swaps positions. He should either disappear or have a more meaningful presence.

Each half of Saruman's staff weighs five pounds. Also, the names should be changed. Suggestions: Top Half of Saruman's Staff or Saruman's Staff (top half)

The Meranas victory speech needs some editing. Here's a smoother version:

text = [[#LIGHT_GREEN#*A robed human is waiting for you when you step out of the portal.*#WHITE#
Well met, @playername@!
I am Meranas, Herald of Angolwen. I have come here at the request of King Eldarion, who worried when you didn't return.
We have been watching Tannen for some time, and were pleased to see you reveal his true nature-- and stop him. For this we are grateful, and I think we can pay you back.
We have studied his portal research and if you give me the components I will create the portal for you, here and now!]],
answers = {
{"Yes, Tannen was not exactly friendly. I thank you for your help. Here are the components. [hand him the diamon and the athame]", action=function(npc, player) player:hasQuest("east-portal"):create_portal(npc, player) end},
}
}

About the difficulty, I think it's the armoury that is too hard, I want those 2 quests to be feasible and instead have harder content on the side, since this quest enables such content to exist in the west

That sounds good. But they should be at least the character's level, even if the character is level 50 by the time they get there. Smashing through trivial dungeons is no fun!

id like to add that the bug with the double orbs of many ways still exists, just had it happen.

Was one labled the Deamon Orb after obtaining both orbs? If not, then it's a bug. If so, then it's gameplay as usual.

both are named orbs of many ways, though they do have slightly different description text.
