[Skanky Burns]

I know the feeling. My final exam is in 30 minutes though, so soooon...

[Skanky Burns]

Thanks. I think I went well in it.

The important thing is that it's over.

For those of you who've had the luxury of completing the game, Re: the museum:

Spoiler:

How on earth did you get the necklace that's around the neck of the huge statue? I couldn't find a ladder, and everything else either didn't work or both didn't work and killed me, like dropping from the ceiling just above the breast of the statue and trying to nab the blasted thing mid-drop. That was the one that killed me.

Kass,

Spoiler:

I just gave up on that necklace. I assume there's a way to get it, but I just figured it would take too much of my time to figure it out and I wanted to finish the plotline already!

Spoiler:

I figured it was one of those things where you've gotta stack boxes, so I gave up. I'm playing through the game on expert difficulty this time, though, so I'll report back if and when I figure out how to get the damned thing, because this time it'll be a mission requirement.

Spoiler:

I feel left out. Dammit.

[Arnelos]

Skanky, I can't believe you said that!

3 guesses remaining.

Spoiler:

I was wrong on the Cradle Creatures -- it's possible to kill them, it's just a helluva lot more difficult than it is to kill regular zombies, and they don't dissolve away after you've killed them. The first time I played through I backstabbed one of them and then shot a fire arrow at it, and the damn thing still got up and attacked me. After dumping a bunch of holy water on it the creature eventually went down, but didn't dissolve, and there was no way I was going to get near the thing anymore.

As for the necklace around the neck of the statue in the museum, you've got to either jostle the necklace off or else knock over the statue. I took one of those big urn things, climbed it, and jumped over to the statue pedestal. This knocked the statue around a bit, and the necklace fell off. It was only worth about 130 gold, which is chicken feed compared to all of the loot available in that place, but still, loot's loot.

I played the tutorial tonight, and I have to say I'm not that impressed so far.

Btw I can't find an option to alter mouse sensitivity. I have a glass mousemat and mouse with teflon coated feet (they are remnant of my competitive FPS days) so I often need to turn sensitivity down a touch. Any workarounds?

Spoiler:

Knocking the statue down? Pffft. Never occurred to me, I'm a thief not a vandal.

The Cradle zombies also need two downings to get permanently killed. The first time a flashbomb or two on Normal are enough, then they collapse on the ground. The first time I downed one I was thankfully (and obviously) cautious, and when I took a step closer to check the zombie out it jumped up and came at me. Then a few more bombs/holy water/a fire arrow or whatnot, and the thing dropped "dead". I backstabbed a few too, not sure if they were permanently killed right away like that but it was a useful method also.
