Ah cmon... you know about E.D. 
By the way, I've finally arranged a no-hold-barred take-me-by-the-hand walkthrough for Rhem 1. To play the game, you need the actual game disk (it checks for that) and you need at least QuickTime 4 or higher installed. It plays ok in Win 7, but you have to at least set windows resolution down to 800/600 so you don't have to squint at the screen. Rhem 2 - 4 automatically plays in wide screen.

Ya wanta know what old is? Well I'll tell ya:
First the youthful part: I used to go to sleep under a blanket, then wake up the next morning under a tent.
That is far in the past. I'm seriously thinking of changing my name to Ed

Finally, I know of a walkthrough, for Rhem 1, that leaves very little to get upset about. After playing part way through several times and making crude maps and taking notes, each time I can progress a little farther. The most difficult part is trying to describe the puzzles without pictures. I've been playing and replaying portions, for the last week, and am almost half way through. Actually losing sleep every night or two. I shudder to think what Rhem 2, 3, and 4 will be like.
I highly recommend the Rhem series. Quite similar to the Myst series.
By the way, one person made the Rhem series.

I'm presently struggling with Rhem 1. Even had to resort to a couple of walkthroughs (seems there are only the two available). What really ticks me off is the inability or reluctance to give precise directions: For instance, you start out by being lead precisely through several check points, doing things, told to remember this or that location and what it contains. Then after several minutes, you're instructed to go back to a certain spot and no directions are given. Hell, my memory is only just good to a certain point, and I cannot store mental maps.
Seems as if several things are recycled in different authors walkthroughs, leaving me to question whether or not these authors have actually even started the games.
Does anyone know of a walkthrough for Rhem 1 that has precise directions in returning to a previous location or object rather than just saying to go back to the location you first were at several minutes or hours ago? I guess I could completely cover one wall with blank paper and plot all movements. But I was hoping to do some games before going to the great reward.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about
Eleven things they did not and will not learn in school.
He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings
Created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and
How this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem.
The world will expect you to accomplish something
BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping:
They called it opportunity.
Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault,
So don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring
As they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,
Cleaning your clothes and listening to you
Talk about how cool you thought you were:
So before you save the rain forest
From the parasites of your parent's generation,
Try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers,
But life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades
And they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer.
*This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters.
You don't get summers off and very few employers
Are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF.
(Do that on your own time.)
Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life.
In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds.
Chances are you'll end up working for one.
If you can read this...thank a Teacher.
If you can read this in English...thank a Soldier!
And for life and everything else you have...thank God!
Now....think about this and smile if you agree and please pass this on....
If you don't agree, go stick your head in the SAND and take a DEEP BREATH!

Biorhythms cycle every several days. Do something to interrupt this process and you're screwed till the next cycle. If I didn't get pee erections at night, I could get a decent nights rest.

I meant Circadian Rhythm (not biorhythm). It cycles about every 17 days.

When I was 4 or 5, I did all sorts of stuff out of curiosity. I ate one of those little brown ants that craw around on sidewalks. Gawd, that sucker was really bitter. Another time I spotted some weird green fuzzy stuff on some pieces of metal (copper?). Tasted rather bitter. Man it's a wonder I'm still alive.

Well, heck! If that were to happen, I'd just buzz through another character for the file. And as Baron Roehm, what debauchery might there be 
>
Of the three characters, all do the slaver quest, and all three can do the mine quest, and morroi leader quest.
The Brigand has an extra quest besides the caravan heist.
The Rogue has a quest from Mr. Red.
The Sorcerer doesn't appear to have a second quest, other than collecting spell ingredients. Am I missing something?
>
Decided to screw around with the game;
Before saving outside the library, I set game speed on the highest.
Did the book, went outside and teleported to destination.
Eventually found out the virtual bar appears at 15 minutes
>
I thought that way before 1.1 was finished, either Bt or Klytos mentioned that maybe Hybrid's Harangue would have a five letter code in 1.1, or am I confused about that?
Update on H.H.
Yes there is a code, but cheating doesn't create bravery

I have a 3.4 gig processor quad core.
At the games default speed setting, I just let time count down and after 24 minutes at the wiz place, I do it and there's the bar.
Here's an easter egg.
While playing as a Rogue, in the Tyr finale, choose to teleport there and you arrive near the slaver balcony. After killing the two guards and robbing them, clicking on the right hand corpse Roehm does a dance. Each additional time you click on the left hand corpse, you get blys and healing potion every time!

« on: March 27, 2015, 08:42:21 AM »Yes. Wish I could smack Roehm for saying that. So, if I keep going I'm bound to hit the sweet spot? What if I wait long enough till getting no response, then working backwards?By saying OK!! I meant that I finally got into the bar by simply waiting longer at each attempt. I've since played another character and was successful again. I'm presently on the third character and am confident to find the bar yet again.
Getting the 'so close yet so far away' at 3 minutes beyond 18 minute save. So, I'll up it some more....
OK!!! At 4 minutes beyond my 18 minute save. This is at the default speed setting which is near half way. Which brings to mind one of the clues "Be Patient" Strange, only Blackthorne's voice has sound.
Final note, each reload increases the time I have to wait. After first bar, the next wait at same time fails. The next after that, had to wait an extra minute. So it appears each attempt wait time increases by 30 seconds.

Still no luck. While waiting, that blasted skeleton head cursor briefly appears at about 16 minutes. This is after starting a new game and doing all steps. Some things I did not do in order to save time:
So, I can almost say that I'm one of the very few that cannot access the place in question. This further strengthens my status of being at the bottom of the totem. Anyone care to try my save outside the Library? Zip or Rar
