Nutty Thangs Ye Kin Do in PotC!

If you don't specifically ask, or if you don't set in in settings, the default is not to be informed of sightings that are (presumably) waaaaay beyond your ability to defeat. Frankly that's not quite exact, as I can take down much larger ships with a small ship like the Lugger (I really like the lugger, except for the limited cargo space). I think you get more points (and more gold!) if you take down a ship MUCH larger than yours. . <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
Thought I'd bring this topic back to life and post a couple of funny shots I got while bugtesting my Animists Quest fix.

Found a bug - and was able to give the Animists and a couple of smugglers some swimming lessons! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Hahaha! very funny!

A thing Ive noticed, when you rescue Danielle on IM from those thugs standing over her body, after she runs away, there are a load of Animists around the town, and then they started following me, so I ran to port. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
Animists in IM?! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> That's a bug, right?

See, if you leave Padre Domingues by doing a quick travel to wherever else you are going (say to the store or the shipyard or the port), you will miss the encounter completely. I disabled quick travel in the church - so you have to walk outside of the church, and then you are immediately transported to a part of IM where you have a battle with three Animists who demand the letter you have been given by Padre Domingues. You fight them and defeat them, and get transported back to the church where Padre Whatever-his-name-is tells you that Padre Domingues has been kidnapped by thugs... You can head out now, and all will (presumably) be well for you to return to Father Bernard on Redmond with Padre Domingues' letter. &tc...
 
No, this is after the bit where you have to rescue Danielle in the main quest. She joins up with you after you kill the thugs around her, and you say "These bodies will attract a lot of attention before they attract the first fly."

After I rescued her, and she left for the port, I was in danger from night thugs, and decided to find them to attack them. When I went up the stairs near the tavern, going towards the governor's area, there were about 5 animists standing there. I thought that was strange, but I then went to kill the thug. The danger turned off, but the Animists started following me!
 
Odd... if you can reproduce it, can you post a screeny? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Sure, Ill try, but I think that you can do it anyway. Theres a "Mystery Man" who says "Leave us" when there are thugs standing over Danielle's unconcious body. Because you arent meant to see this guy, they put him behind a house, away from you, so you cant see him, and he remains a "Mystery Man"

An odd thing, is that if you capture and kill Isenbrandt Jurksen, then your rep goes waaay down. I would have thought many people would have been happy to know that a main pirate leader is no longer a threat to them. So it may make pirates think badly of you, but most of the time they are enemies. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

<div align="right">[snapback]107771[/snapback]</div><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> Bizaare!!! No idea why that would happen. There are only three that attack you near that area after you get a letter from Padre Domingues to deliver to Father Bernard, in the Animist quest. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Weird... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
But this isnt even the animist quest! It was the main quest! Anyway, I think the ones that followed me were actually my officers, because I loaded to see if it would happen again, and because your officers are still "equipped" in the passenger thingy, they should be there, but your officers dont follow you to Danielle's body. When I loaded, they were there, and wearing animist clothes! Or at least that seems a more likely explination... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
Well, I was thinking that if something went wrong in the code, the Animists could appear in that spot... Are you sure there were more than three?
 
werent much more than 3, if it wasnt 3 exactly. Try finding it yourself, and see if that happens too. After Danielle runs to port, just go around the town.
 
I don't usually do the main quest, so I'd have to start from the beginning, and I'm still trying to run down the Animist quest fix bug... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Well, it shouldn't so I should take a look at it while I'm in there, y'know? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Heh, well, we should put this in as a part of the Satanist Quest, that or a bit, they follow you around as if to learn of your intentions and business here on IM. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

I do too many typos lately, and it is due to the fact that my keyboard has got too much milk and breadcrumbs in it... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
