twillight Got this on GoG, we'll see if they upped it to less problematic level.


-------------


UPDATE:
Yes, GoG's more stable.
Magic advances way too fast. Weapons way too slow. I suspect some stats simply doesn't work (like Agility).
And some puzzles would never be solved in a million years without a guide. Like entering the room where you not just have to press down pressure plkates, but then you have to let them up!

Remake of Anvil of Dawn

Hello, everyone! Yeah, Anvil of Dawn is a cool game! It contains unique characters, for instance, the alive tree which speaks to you, the water spirit with funny voice, the solitude book which needs a companion, the gold speaking sword… They all have their own little story. Skyrim has a big open world, a lot of places for sightseeing but characters there are not so different. You will not find in Skyrim neither the spirit of dead mage nor the gargoyle which keeps the path closed… Is there anyone who is interested in making a remake of Anvil of Dawn? It could be done on the Skyrim's engine using the Creation Kit. I think, it's a good thought to start from the most interesting location. What in your opinion is the best location in Anvil of Dawn?

RRS I could upload ASCII automaps - anyone interested?

RRS Completed the game minutes ago (custom "spellsword" character built). Score: 113444 - I wonder if this may be just "CRC"-like check, just like in Wolfenstein3D? because they ask you to send them this score?

I pretty much agree what others said here: Abandonia's review is too optimistic, while I enjoyed the game, I also clearly see its weak points. Boring combat (with only one character, what you can do?), magic that sounds great at first (variety), but the spells are expensive and not very powerful - mana regenerates slowly even with 9-point stat, limited equipment choices (Lands of Lore had more slots!), I also missed buying/selling stuff (although this eliminates "grinding" mechanism). Weird, empty world (but that's common to dungeon crawlers), dungeon wall designer should first visit Europe or at least browse an album on medieval architecture (but that's common art design flaw to most fantasy games).

I only had to resort to walkthrough twice: once I missed 1 switch & 1 ill.wall (maybe I was too tired to play); then at the finale I got tired of that maze so I checked which 2 actions I missed (the puzzle was almost done). Worked in DOSBOX like a charm.

Voice acting was hit & miss for me, with poor casting choices. Old mage & bulky warrior both sound like Prince Charming, young nimble female thief and exotic muscular amazon both sound like a sorceress in her fourties.

Glad YOU solve the problem.

The Avatar Yes I did. It is the best site around in terms of solutions and all that. Sadly, they lack vast content regarding Anvil of Dawn. While the only walkthrough there reliably leads one through the game, it does not mention where to find spells.

I am positive it was somewhere in the Barrier but I cannot seem to find it there.
Did you try gamefaqs.com?
