... ...It only took about 5 1/2 hours, but I Finally finished a game in less then 1 hour.
Twice I got all the way to the show down with Cet and the game froze. . I was begining to think he found a way to be Immortal. The third time, I got to the door with double locks, clicked use, clicked the lock, one bar slides out. I turn, click use,click the lock,...Nothing... Wrong Key ...seconds still ticking..scroll through inventory....NO SECOND KEY... So, I went back to the areas where I fought the 2 champions. Still, no key... .. So of course , I had to kill everything, .. Which was pretty easy, they had all followed me and where waiting in the room with 4 doors. It turns out , one of those little imps stole it from me. The fourth time, all went well, or at least well enough. Anyway here's the way it went, tick by tick: 1:05....Entered Crypt 4:40....Entered Asyllum 6:00....Listened to Nivius speech 8:35....Back in Valeia 10:10...Listened to Oracle speech 12:20...Ishad N'ha 14:20...Enter the Dragon Spire 22:45...At Erathsmedor's Door 25:15..."I weild the mavin sword" (qoute stollen from D*One) 26:15...Brimloch Roon 31:35...Entered Collasium 42:10...Left Collasium 43:25...Entered the Pyramid 48:20...Listened to Kerah and Cet 53:00...Entered Cet's room 54:20... Cet is Dead.....Listened to Anephas and Kerah speech 57:35...Back at the bar in Brimloch Roon What a day.. ...... ...... ...Oh...A...oh

Playing this game at a gallop, makes you realize, that Sabastio isn't the only one who's long winded .
When your in a hurry, Nivius, the Oracle and Anephas, all seem to ramble on..and on..and on.. ..

OH gosh - where is that thread .... hmmmm
Ages ago our good poster DLimbaugh (I believe) found a way to shorten and even remove the long long long speeches. How many minutes do you think you could cut out of the game by using that tip?? Wyv |

It would probably shave about 9 or 10 min.
...Rough estimate for ramblings 2:35....Nivius 1:20....Oracle 2:30....Kerah & Cet 3:10....Anephas Oh yeh, I forgot about Serillia, the long winded mermaiden. Even with the key words she goes on for about 2 or 3 mins. I tried to be smart one time, and while she was rambling I went and got the gem thats down the hall. Well I guess she didn't like the fact that I swam away while she was still talking and she made me ask about the oracle again, before she would open the grate. I could've killed her.....Hey maybe thats the ticket? [ 05-27-2002, 07:07 PM: Message edited by: Packrat ]

LOL!!!
DLimbaugh, who did a lot of ferreting through the files that come with the game and discovered one that indicated there were plans for consequences if you broke your oath - I digress - he located the speech files (especially Sebastio's) and figured out how to replace the text so that you could shorten the whole thing. Wonder if that would come up in a search and what keywords to use! [img]smile.gif[/img] Wyv |

To get rid of windbags here´s what to do:
Run "c:\windows\system32\regsvr32 c:\windows\appatch\slayerui.dll" Now this only work on windows nt/2000 I think! I´ve got no clue if these files exist on win95/98, but I guess I could mail so you could try them out. When you´ve runned the line above you´ll here no talking (except the narrator) and the lines in the textbox will race like a mantrap on fire (hmm, bad analogy). Anephas will speak for 5 secs, Nivius for 4 etc. This unfortunatley doesn´t speed up Sabastio though!

.. .. Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I'm running ME....Beleive it or not, Sabastio only rambles for 2 min. 15 sec...which is less then Nivius and less then Kerah & Cet...I think the silence makes it seem longer.. ...That and the fact that you usually have more than one character taking the quest.
Thats another nice thing about doing a 'Fast Track Game', you get to pass on all of that...The only things you Do is the Crypt, Dragon Spire, The Collasium and the Pyramid.. I need to find a faster way to finsh off Erathsmedor, right now it takes me about 2 min 30 sec....Cet only takes 1 min 20 sec.. ..(solo) (Sorry Wyv.. .. but you do have to kill Erathsmedor, to finish the game in under 1 hour. The best you can do with out killing him, is 4 to 5 hours.) I also need to find out if there a faster way to get Sarellia to open the grate in the Collasium..I know that it takes longer to go around the back way.
