OK, so I have Dak'kon in my party and I'm talking to Fell the tattoo artist in his little parlour. When I ask Fell about the dismembered arm of mine from the crypt then he describes the tattoos saying they speak of me and 4 others. From what Dak'kon says when he joins it seems fairly obvious he has travelled with the Nameless One before so he is probably one of the four. Also Fell describes one of them as "One who loves", which I am assuming is referring to Deionerra (sp?). So far so good...

But...

I seem to have no conversation options to take this further. I can't ask Dak'kon about it at all. When I get him to translate the Dabus language for me the Nameless One can tell he is lying (or at least ommitting the bit about the four others) but despite repeated "Are you sure thats what he said?" kind of options I can't confront Dak'kon at all. I am fairly sure there is more to this but I seem unable to get to it. Any help...?

You have to ask Dak'kon to translate for you, when you initiate dialouge with Fell

Then you'll 'discover' that Dak'kon lies to you when he translate - this will make it possible for you and Dak'kon to have a 'private' talk later - this should open up the dialouge options that you're looking for.

EDIT: I've just read the second part of your post - so I have to ask, what are your STATs (especially WIS and INT - it may have something to do with the missing dialouge options)

I got halfway through your post thinking: "Yeah... I've tried that... [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] "

Well, my Wisdom is 10, Intelligence 15, and Charisma 18. The more and more I play the game the more I wished I had had a higher wisdom...

I think (without being 100% sure) that your 'lack' of WIS is the problem - I always start with 18 and work up from there.

Curses, the temptation to re-start with a high wisdom is now quite large. I will have to try this again sometime...

You find out about your previous 4 companions just before you step through a portal leading to Fortress Of Regrets - your final stage. Morte hesitates, then both he and Dak'kon spill what they know to you.

It IS possible to find out about Dak'kon earlier, same for Morte.

Finding out that Dak'kon is lying opens the option (if Wis high enough) to ask about the 4 companions. This leads to him spilling the beans about them, and if you go back to the Mortuary, two of them are in there (you probably saw Deionnarra (sp ?) already, but another one is in there, too). Having a high Wis also allows you to find out (through another dialog thread w/ Dak'kon) why exactly Dak'kon follows you.

When you get Fall-from-Grace in the party, ask her about your companions, and she will tell you that Morte has a Baatorian smell. As you travel through the sensoriums, you get another memory, this one of a pillar of skulls. Go back and ask Morte "you said your a mimir, right?" If your Wis is high enough, he spills the beans about himself, and gets a good stats upgrade to boot.

Wasn't there also a blind archer with the initial party? Is it possible to learn more about him during the game?

Yes, although he died he is now one of the zombies in the ground floor of the mortuary.
