Hi everyone. Actually I must say, since "Ive played the game, that it;s really good, real fun. BUT. There are faults in the whoe series and I"m not sure how to tacke them. In number three for instance when I install the patch and restart the game, something happens and I can't effectively fight and I end up dying (as fighter). also the game crashes when as a fighter I reach the end of th first stage of initiation. It says ooops you did something we weren;t expecting. Whatever it was, it wasn;t necessary for the game, and what i only did was not giving the chief the horn, since the bug (of the chief constantly repating what are you here for) would not let me!

Can you help?

Also with Shadows of Darkness...the patch wouldnlt work, the objects at the tomb where the Chernivs are would still be cloned and the game would crash. It didn;t help to install any of the slowing down programes either. Any suggestions?

Would be grateful for help.

Other than that the whole series is extremely playable and I would have enjpyed it, if it wasn;t for those blasted bugs.

If you are having problems with speed-related bugs in Quest for Glory I to IV, may I pass on the suggestion that you try running them using DosBox (a number of the QFG fan sites suggest it)

available here by clicking the Programs link, listed under Utilities, in the menu on the left
or Main Site: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

I found it pretty good, and have loaded a QFG4 save from just before the Swamp and finished it (due to some quirk or other, on the final screen, I had to put Speed slider to max., Detail slider to min. to finish it, but that is a known bug).

Alternatively, you could try third party patches (though you will have to decide for yourself if you are comfortable with that / can trust the party in question)

I personally used files from: http://www.geocities.com/belzorash/

I tested some of these seperately to DosBox and was also able to finish QFG4 (exact same save game from before swamp) this way.

It's protected by the ESA.

Not anymore. The protected status was supposed to be updated this January, but at that time the whole place was still a mess from the November move and it kind of slipped from our notice.

Which means... yeah, you lucky dudes... Quest For Glory 3 is downloadable again, effective immediately.

I was hoping someone could help me. I have the dinosaur horn, and I want to give it to the Laibon so that I can go through the Simbani initiation and become a warrior, but he will not let me give him the horn, and I'm not getting the "Tell about dinosaur" option when I click the mouth icon on myself. Is this some strange sort of glitch? I've played this game many times and I don't recall running into this problem before? :confused:

I havent played this games for a long time, but I think you dont have to give him the horn. You will give him the horn during the warrior initation, whenever that happens.

[MandrakeMousse]

I played this game just a couple of years ago and I remember it well. The Laibon needs the horn from the dinosaur as proof that you are worthy to undertake the initiation to become a warrior. You need to give it to him in order to do the initiation. I've never run into this problem before when playing GFG III so I'm unsure how to proceed. I have earlier save games I could try loading and try again, but I am reluctant to back track because I've been training my Paladin quite a bit and I'd hate to lose my high stats.

ETA: I finally gave up trying to figure this out and restored an older save game. I think what happened is you only get one chance to give the Laibon the horn of the running dinosaur. After you use the dispel potion on the Leopardman prisoner, the next time you visit the Laibon he will tell you the bride price for the dispelled Leopardwoman, and tell you that only a warrior of the Simbani can marry the woman, he will then ask you for the horn. If you do not give him the horn at this visit, he will refuse you at further visits, so this is your only chance to take part in the Simbani warrior initiation. So unless you're ready to take part in the initiation, do not visit the Laibon after using the dispel potion. This is the mistake that I made, I visited the Laibon, but did not show him the horn because I wanted to increase my stats a bit more before taking part in the initiation. D'oh!

I hadn't played this game in so long, I was thrilled to see it offered on this site, especially since I have no idea where in the world I put that anthology CD. But, I'm having issues that when I load the game, it says "Unable to initialize audio," which makes me sad. Not a single sound or song plays. Does anyone know how to fix that?
