Daggerfall: Guild rank bug?

Post » Mon Nov 30, 2009 1:09 pm

Hello all,

I have been doing lots of quests for the Fighters Guild, but haven't been able to advance beyond Swordsman (rank 2). Using a save game editor (DFHACK3), I checked my reputation and found the following relevant entries (not sure if the three first are related, but the last one must be):

Fighter Equippers  :  94Fighter Questers   : 100Fighter Trainers   :  94The Fighters Guild : 100


Now, assuming the editor is reading the correct values, shouldn't I have received a higher rank? 100 reputation IS the max value, correct? Have I misunderstood how reputation works, or is this a known bug? I tried using FIXSAVE but it didn't find or fix anything.

Also while I'm at it, is there an easier way to check your reputation (in-game possibly)?



EDIT: Bah, I've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days, but now just after posting I came to remember that there are skill requirements too (archery, axe, blunt weapon, giantish, long blade, orcish and short blade). Using only one weapon, I don't have the necessary requirements for the second skill. So, NEVERMIND, no bug after all! :P

(However, I'm still interested in better ways to check your reputation.)

There is no way to check your rep in game.

The best software to use is called rep.exe... I think the dl archive is rep177.zip

You can use search strings etc.

Don't forget that there are also time constraints on promotion. You can only be promoted once a game month, although you can be promoted several ranks at a time. :trophy:

Heh, I didn't really think skills would be an issue since I my character is a fighter type with fighter skills like Long Blade, Critical Strike and Dodge. And especially since Critical Strike is a trainable skill within the guild.

Ok I will check it out, sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Aye I noticed this when I started to train my second skill; had to do some traveling to make time pass :-)
