That is actually the only boring one . The script was made for different system, sort of guard & thieves, but since I don't have real-time movement on map I had to adapt it this way. The others have dungeon exploration and are much longer.

In my opinion, Kiduu-quest was tons of fun. Especially with the "do-not-die" requirement for the one character protecting the hostage.... while playing in NM-mode. I just don't think that the AI knew which one I had chosen for the job, because they didn't really target her anymore than usual.

Fixed your Chalassa's bug by the way. I wanted to upload 0.8.15 since had already a lot of bugs/changes (nerfed down a few skills, but not too much) but today internet had decided to break my balls at maximum power (the whole day is disconnecting... even phone at home actually. I wonder if I'm under an alien attack!). So I give up and go to bed
Also because Taleweaver made me notice a small mistake
Spoiler:
in the liberty challenge since is Rowinda in Chalassa's body, she should use Rowinda skills. So need to change that, but too tired right now.

The Galanna quest is also tons of fun since it's pretty much a dungeon labyrinth crawl with a ridiculous twist in the end, and Riva really made the best of what I gave him to work with. The Lugal quest should also be cool because...
Spoiler:
...it pretty much mirrors the Kiduu quest.

but another thing: I think the writer missed a nice place for making fun in Riley's flashback. I totally expected the coal transformed in diamonds - but no, the boring old gold thingy... Why did you have to exhume the well-known Philosopher's Stone and didn't include something new like the Thinker's Compactor, able to convert coal in diamonds?
Meh. I guess I could have come up with something original here, but I had put so many original ideas into Dingirra already... gimme a break! ^_^

Crossed my mind: We have a quest counter, a location counter and a fame counter. While the first two do indeed show how much you have of the maximum available for the act, the last one shows how much you have of a hard cap you can't reach. The fame should just say your fame, not /100, because it might make people think they've missed something if they finish an act with <100 fame.

Hmm yes I could change this indeed. In this case would represent the max reachable value, but since the other two max values can be reached, I think makes sense. Will do it before uploading next build

Put the build up with several changes. Was unable to
Spoiler:
do the Rowinda in Chalassa's body for now. The problem is that during party drag/drop the rowinda face would appear I will think if I can find a way around this, like copying Rowinda's skilltree temporarily on Chalassa, or something else. It's just ONE SINGLE BATTLE anyway, so I don't think is a big deal

Why do the drag/drop part at all? Just put Rowinda into the party, the way Chalassa joined the party when the Four Elements betrayed her. No need for the player to give her a position.
