Quest for Infamy / Fourth moonshiner action

Spoiler (hover to show)

Using the sword on the moonshiner is supposed to cause Roehm to burn him, but you can only complete this action with the alcohol and flint.  Having the alcohol and tinderbox just makes the moonshiner run away.  Is there some reason the tinderbox is preferred to the flint in this case?  The tinderbox has worked for burning everything else.

I don't receive any infamy points as a sorcerer for

but it's been reported elsewhere in the forum that others have.  Which way is it supposed to be?

Also, if you

throw rocks at the owl first and then set the tree on fire, you end up with two owl feathers.

Quest for Infamy / Shirtless guys

« on: July 30, 2014, 12:21:33 AM »

The discussion on female-focused lines in the game got me thinking.  We were given artwork of beautiful, scantily-clad women (who were still realistic), but the only shirtless guys in the game were the crazy Morroi flagellants.  Did I miss some non-crazy shirtless guys?  Can I request some for the next game?

Quest for Infamy / Freeing Rayford's prisoners

« on: July 29, 2014, 03:34:49 AM »

Playing as a sorcerer,

Spoiler (hover to show)

I can free the prisoners using the unlock spell.  Afterward, I can hand Serena the key, which then goes through the dialog as though I hadn't already freed them.  In addition, the "Paladin loves you" achievement is only triggered when I hand her the key.

It's certainly not game-breaking, but it is a little strange.

Quest for Infamy / Returning to Morroi

« on: July 28, 2014, 04:10:05 AM »

During Act III,

Spoiler (hover to show)

I realized I'd forgotten to get the smeat.  I couldn't get back into the kitchen from the door in the courtyard, so I went back through the sewers.  I was able to get into the kitchen that way which allowed me to get the smeat.  It also triggered the sewer rat achievement if I'd originally entered through the rune gate (which doesn't really apply since I'd already gotten in).  The part that's really a bug is when I tried to leave through the door.  It gives me a message that I crack open the door and see Morroi, and shouldn't go out there dressed as I am.  Despite the message, Roehm ends up in the empty courtyard.  It doesn't break the game, but the message isn't accurate.

This happens regardless of how I enter the compound initially and doesn't seem to be dependent on whether I ever got the green robes.

Quest for Infamy / Infamy Points on the wiki

« on: July 27, 2014, 11:06:58 PM »

I finally put my incomplete infamy point list on the wiki.  Please continue to update it.  If someone's got a better idea for the format, please be my guest and change it.  Layout is not one of my strong points!

If for some reason this doesn't belong on the wiki, I won't be hurt if you delete it.

Quest for Infamy / Infamy points increasing without notification

« on: July 27, 2014, 10:23:13 PM »

I was making a list of where the infamy points come from, and I think I may have stumbled upon a bug.  As the sorcerer

Spoiler (hover to show)

when faced with getting by the red bush to find the moonshiner, the only option seems to be to use the cloud spell.  The other classes have the option of destroying the bush and they get 10 points for doing so.  The sorcerer doesn't seem to have this option, but the infamy points will be 10 higher after floating over the bush without any notification.  I suspect that whatever triggers the increase in points is still being triggered even when the sorcerer doesn't destroy the bush.  Does this mean there should be an option for the sorcerer to set it on fire?  I'd love that! 

As a rogue

Spoiler (hover to show)

when you discover who Hummel is and confront him on his name, the first of the dialog choices causes your infamy to go up 15 points, but also without any notification.  I believe it also happens for the brigand, but it doesn't happen for the sorcerer.

Quest for Infamy / Bug if attacked while sleeping

« on: July 27, 2014, 12:39:50 PM »

I haven't seen this one posted anywhere yet.  I decided to let Roehm sleep outside near Swart's camp, and I get a message that I'm attacked while asleep.  The battle screen comes up, but there's no enemy shown.  If I do something, the game crashes out with this message:

in "room299.asc", line 598

Error: AnimateCharacter: invalid loop number specified

If I just sit there and wait, I get this instead:

in "combat.asc", line 200
from "room299.asc", line 425

Error: AnimateCharacter: invalid loop number specified

It seems to be the same error, though.  I'm attaching a saved game called "stuff".  Because being attacked during sleep seems to be random, you may have to restore and sleep a few times before the attack kicks in.

Quest for Infamy / Take Inanimate Object

« on: July 25, 2014, 03:20:44 AM »

I've played through as the sorcerer, and I never found where the take inanimate object spell was supposed to be used.  Every time I cast it, the narrator told me there wasn't anything I even wanted.  There's only one screen I encountered where I got a message about something being attached, and that was it.  (I never figured out what that item was, though).  Does someone have a hint for what I missed?

Spoiler (hover to show)

The screen is the one with the overgrown fountain to the right of the mansion.  Before figuring out that I could get the angel's wings in the cemetery, I did try to retrieve the cherub's wings from the top of the scummy fountain, but I couldn't get that to work.

Quest for Infamy / Bug that spoils future plot elements

« on: July 22, 2014, 04:23:02 AM »

While fighting the guards during the brigand raid on the supply wagon

Spoiler (hover to show)

if you get killed by a guard, the restore-restart-quit dialog refers to "Rayford's guards and their Morroi allies".  I expect the guard character that's attacked during the raid is the same as the random encounter guard during the third act.  During the first act you don't know that Rayford is working with the Morroi, and this dialog window becomes a big spoiler.

Quest for Infamy / Minor typos and bugs

« on: July 22, 2014, 04:18:45 AM »

I've now finished playing through the game with all three classes, although it's clear that there are things I still haven't found.  Thank you so much for making such a wonderful world for me to explore!  I kept some notes of minor typos and bugs I found while playing.  Instead of putting each in a separate topic, I'm just going to list them below. 

TYPOS:

Spoiler (hover to show)

The description of the bee has "disturbed it's hive" when it should be "its"

Clicking the eye on the sign in the garden in the Tyr apartment screen has quaint mistyped as "quiant"

When asking Voleris about Volksville, the text says "bridge north" but she says "bridge to the north".  There are a few places in the game where the text and voice don't quite match up and it's perfectly fine, but this one seemed a bit jarring to me.

I have a note for "it's precious" but I failed to write down where that one came from.  I don't know if it's possible to do a search for text in AGS, but the next word may have been "victories".  This is what I get for scribbling notes on random scraps of paper.  If I find it again, I'll post more details.

When saying goodbye to Ian after talking to him for the first time in the Thieves' Den, the voice says, "They'll always let you know what they've decided" but the text says "what they decided".  It's minor, but noticeable.

There seems to be an extra space in the text between "A" and "bold lie" when you talk to Rayford for the first time.

When fighting the beast at the start of the game, if it kills you, the line about saying one last "your mother" joke has a double quote on one side and a single quote on the other.

When breaking into the Mayor's house and finding the 1000 blys underneath the stone, the message says "1000 blys underneat" without the "h"

After roughing up Randy, when he gives you the directions through the maze, the text says "the go west" instead of "then go west"

At the end of the game when Roehm is talking to Kayanna, he says "Even I know that gem ain't worth it's trouble".  "it's" should be "its"

When trying a random item on the Kyser tree, there's an apostrophe missing from "That wont work on the tree"

MINOR LABELLING ISSUES:

Spoiler (hover to show)

When you get the sleeping powder from the master thief, the description given by the eye icon says "It's the sleeping powder you got from Jerrod", when that's not true.  Is there a way to get sleeping powder from Jerrod?

When you put the glowing fungus in the jar for capturing the fireflies, the popup message banner says "fireflies and fungus" even though you haven't caught the fireflies yet.

If you meet Voleris in front of Tyr for the first time while the city is closed, Roehm tells her she can call him whatever she likes, but doesn't give her his name.  After he says he'll come back when it's convenient, she says "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Roehm".  She shouldn't know his name at this point.  Almost every time you speak to her afterward she simply calls Roehm "Sir", except when flirting with her in the streets, then she seems to know Roehm's name as well.  It makes sense for her to know his name after she brings him to see the mayor, but not before.

I believe it's been mentioned before, but when you click the eye on Hummel's diary before you know it's plot-relevant, the narrator says "It's a door, you just need to walk through it".  (this one sent me into a fit of giggles)

Looking at the moonshine in your inventory says "Marlon gave you this free sample of moonshine" when I actually just picked it up off the ground after trying to kill him.

MINOR BUGS:

Spoiler (hover to show)

At night, clicking on the balcony in Tyr says I could use a rope or chain to climb up.  The climbing gear works perfectly fine, but the chain always gives me the "you can't do that now, you don't want to go to jail" message regardless of whether there are people on the screen or not.

Sometimes the bagpipe player shows up outside Rayford's house at night.

The pot in the first screen in Volksville always says "That's a good idea, but not right now" when I click on it regardless of my class.  I don't get any indication of when or how it's meant to be used.

Quest for Infamy / Game crashes while attacking skeleton

« on: July 22, 2014, 03:52:43 AM »

Playing as a brigand, I encountered a problem when sending Roehm to attack the skeletons that start flat on the ground.  This is the error I get:

An error has occurred.  Please contact the game author for support, as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS.
(ACI version 3.3.0.1160)

in "RandomCombat.asc", line 717
from "GlobalScript.asc", line 6886

Error: Character.Loop: invalid loop number for this view

I don't have any difficulty if I just let the skeleton attack me, or if I leave the screen.

I'm attaching a saved game at the point where this occurs.  To trigger the bug, attack the skeleton.  If I've attached the correct file, it'll be called "death by skeleton".

This problem occurs with the steam version of the game in both windows and linux.

Quest for Infamy / Fountain with cherub

« on: July 21, 2014, 03:00:01 AM »

I'm not sure if this is really a bug, but there may be something fishy going on with the fountain filled with green water next to the burned house.

Spoiler (hover to show)

If I cast the retrieve inanimate object spell, I get a message that says there's something I need but is probably attached.  I took this to mean the cherub's wings which I'd hoped to use for a spell ingredient.  When I use various inventory items on the fountain and cherub, I get no message at all.  I've been unable to retrieve the cherub's wings, and I'm not sure I actually can get them (or if I'm even supposed to be able to).  It took me quite a while before I realized I could take the wings from the angel in the cemetery instead. 

Could this issue be related to the problem of the sorcerer being unable to get the pond slime?  If I'm wrong about there being a use for the cherub's wings, then there should at least be some sort of message when using inventory items on the fountain.

Quest for Infamy / Archery on Day 2

« on: July 21, 2014, 02:37:22 AM »

At the end of day 2 when it turns to dusk, you're automatically taken to the Volkville town square for the magician's act.  If I'm in the middle of playing the archery minigame, I'm taken out of the game at dusk, but the notification area at the bottom showing the current score doesn't go away.  It stays throughout the magician sequence, including the battle.  Because the battle icons can't be pressed (they're masked by the archery score banner), I have to lose the battle.  It's not a game stopper because I can just avoid being in the archery minigame on day 2 before dusk, but there may be other instances when that banner doesn't go away which I haven't encountered.
