The game froze for just a second, forcing me to stand helpless as Kanye got into his zone.

That part in Vienna with the damn Lasombra Ghouls and Dark Hunters is probably the second-hardest part of the Old World, the hardest being those god-damned Tremere Lords and their tendency to use Call Lightning. It doesn't help that the AI is more braindead than a sack of retarded puppies. Oh well, there's two deaths for the price of one I suppose.

I was in a dungeon, jumped off a ledge, fell a couple of z-levels, and the fall broke my spine.  I suffocated to death shortly after.

I hate the Setites about as much as the Tzimicse, the Lasombra, and the Venture, namely because of their serpentine charms and their fondness for shotguns loaded with incendiary rounds. Took about a dozen attempts just to complete that part of the scenario because of one asshole with said shotgun with said incendiary rounds and because of his brethren that for some bizarre reason would not stop using some kind of serpentine charm discipline upon my coterie.

I hate Setites more than the Tzimicse, the Lasombra and the Venture from the looks of things...

Also, having DOSBox fullscreen somehow doesn't override the fact that Alt is assigned to a system shortcut by default. I try in vain for about five minutes to try and re-select the screen, locking the mouse button down so that I waste all my ammo, which alerts the entire level and gives them plenty of time to kill me.

Wolfenstein 3D shareware. One classic DOS game where I think I actually prefer the ports with updated controls...

Chimera food.

Chimeras, try not to fight them at night, you can't see which way they are going to pounce... or when.  They love to come in and out of lantern range.

Chimeras are kind of terrifying enough as is.  They move damn fast for something so large.

That being said... could you have used its silhouette against the night sky?  I remember using that to evade a Chimera once when the party was weakened from fighting.

My brightness setting may actually be too low... it was also in a forested area, SE of the female bandit stronghold.  So yea... pretty much pitch black outside of my lantern light.  Sure, it is easier to spot it when it is on fire... and the light of its eyes are a good indicator of where its looking, but it turns its head a lot/moves around a lot and terrain/bushes obscure, to my detriment.

Didn't help the 2 pawns I hired were Guardians...  they don't protect against pounces that 1 shot me in hard mode.  Nor did they distract the chimera from wanting to eat me in any way...   My main pawn(ranger) can only do so much distracting by itself.
EDIT: Though, it is a wonder to have yourself and all the pawns crawling on a chimera, just beating it to death.  Cause the safest place is on top of a weakened chimera, where it can't shake you off... nor attack you.

Rapax in the tree!

I found 4 rapax beating on some poor cute adorable trynnies.  So I burst into action saving them in a glorious charge of heroic valor. 

When I was taking down the last rapax the trynnies took that opportunity to flee for their lives for a moment before the last rapax exploded into chunky salsa.  I don't blame them, rapax are so big and dangerous, while trynnies are so small and fluffy, besides, they fought valiantly for a few turns, and were pretty injured by the time I cut a swath through the rapax to reach them.

After looting the rapax I see the room is a dead end and turn around to leave... but the trynnies I saved are in the way.  I try to talk to them but all they say is that they'll keep on the lookout for rapax, and they won't budge.   I rest for awhile hoping that they will eventually wander away.  They do not.  I am trapped.

There is a hole in the floor of the treehouse I'm in, likely had something to do with how the rapax got in.  When I was searching the room I marked that hole as likely death, but I have no other option, and I jump out, hoping there is a walkway someplace below at an angle I can't see.

...

I fall so far I get a zone transition.  I hit the ground faaaaar below at the base of the man-squirrel's tree and die instantly.  Frikkin Trynnies....

I was murdering some bandits with my new spear when I took an arrow to the knee.
