Escort questions

Post by mberry »

When escorting people, like the barmaid, and you get attacked, how can you prevent them from helping you? She attacked a ghoul and got herself killed failing the quest. Can I heal them or otherwise keep them out of the way? Or kill all the ghouls and dogs before triggering the quest?

This was a problem in Sacred where the people you were supposed to save got involved in the fight and got themselves killed.

Not possible. You can't heal and those ghouls and dogs will always appear when you trigger that quest. Not much you can do other than to fight whatever monster that is bothering her.

Success

I did solve it, but I had to quick as she jumped right in. In Sacred you could feed an NPC a healing potion, but here you can't.

There is no solution to bad AI, except a decent programmer... but that is a rare and dying/dead breed of creature

In Chapter I, with Mrs. Hood (the Barmaid) i was kinda stuck in that part. Six infernal dogs and the darn woman would try and take them all with her little dagger. After a couple of trys, i give up and simply ran away from fight like a madman till i'v reach the village. For my surprise, it work!
A didn't make to Chapter II yet, but if i have this option, i surely will use it.:laugh:

Me too

That's what worked for me too. I ran and she followed. In the demo I could fight them, but in the full game she kept getting killed until I ran.
