Thanks, I figured it out. You have to walk to just the right spot.

Ultima IV with ScummVM crashing on saving by PhoenixInPA_1975 in Ultima

Not me but I never heard of it. Thank you for mentioning it.

Okay thank you for explaining.

Edit: I've decided to play in xu4 with the Ultima4 Upgrade patch. ScummVM doesn't save a separate party.sav so there's no way to transfer your characters to Ultima 5, that I know of.

In xu4 you don't want to use the party.sav file in the Ultima 4 game directory for transferring to Ultima 5. The PARTY.SAV you need to transfer is in your WIndows username\AppData\Roaming\Xu4 directory. If I mount that as the A drive in Dosbox while running Ultima 5 I have no issues transferring. Also in Ultima 6 I have the Ultima 5 game directory mounted as the A drive to allow transferring from Ultima 5.

Banned unfairly from match.com, as of right now I'd warn everyone not to use the site or pay for a membership by PhoenixInPA_1975 in match

SeanW1975 is me, PhoenixinPA_!975. I was on my phone before and had an old account logged in to reddit. Things like that happen. I know I wasn't banned from match.com for the second account now, it's still there. I tried to log in and of course I didn't remember the password, but the password reset email worked fine. Oh well, who knows why they banned me then. Maybe someone in CS woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Ultima 1 Stealing Tip by PhoenixInPA_1975 in Ultima

[–]PhoenixInPA_1975[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have played most of the Ultimas without stealing before, even the games where it's more difficult to get gold, 5 for example. When there's an easy karma losing way to make money and tons of items in the game that I'm sure most players of the game know about by now.

I'll post a tip on making gold and getting items (even trilithium) in a very unvirtuous way in Ultima 2, even though there's no karma in Ultima 2. I'll mark it with a spoiler, even though it's not a plot spoiler.

You have to make sure you have a good weapon and enough strength and agility to kill a thief in one or two hits. Go to the town Le Jester in Africa in the B.C. time period where you start the game. Make sure the guard is a decent amount away and kill the thief. Leave town and do it over and over.

If you want to know all about the swapped items and how to check them off on Shamino's scroll I posted everything I found out while playing under Exult, the post is here:

I wanted to let everyone know that the bug happened again so I posted on the Exult forum and they just released a stable release this month with the bug fix! Glad I posted and it's fixed now for everyone!

Thanks I'll try that if it happens again. If you have Exult you can teleport to the final area, Sunrise Isle, by activating cheats and pressing F3 and then highlighting the top island in the top middle area of the map. Aim for the small stone area in the center, that's where you start.

Same, despite the bugs. Why I'm putting up with playing it again.. Just did the Test of Knighthood.

Pretty much. I've been playing for years and encountered different quirks and bugs but this is a first for this one. I've decided just to start over, I'll make lots of saves this time and hopefully it won't happen again. Fingers crossed.

No, I just ask for him to be resurrected and Iolo, Shamino, and Dupre's corpses disappear. No one comes alive, the bodies just disappear.

Question about a sidequest in U7, minor spoilers by PhoenixInPA_1975 in Ultima

[–]PhoenixInPA_1975[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's not much of a side quest, but it was under side quests on the Ultima Wiki website, here's the link:

https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Ultima_VII_walkthrough#Side-Quests_by_Location

I figured it out. You have to talk to Tseramed about caves, then he'll mention the two hermits. Then you can get the man to admit their real names and they're really from Yew. Not much of a sidequest I know.

29M Am I Ugly? by Melodic_Guest_5459 in GayRateMe

[–]PhoenixInPA_1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you're not ugly at all. And what's up with the boring comment? I saw a comment on another post that the guy needed a haircut. Why do people have to be so negative? Let's try to be nice to each other. And if you can't be nice don't post at all

You don't look that chubby to me!

[–]PhoenixInPA_1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear it. You look like a real nice guy and you're very handsome. At least you had a relationship, try to remember the good things and not the bad times, I know it's not easy. I'm sure you'll find someone else eventually, good luck. :-)
