There's two glowpad merchants, I had both in two past games.

EDIT: One looks exactly like a normal glowpad (purple), that one isn't on the overhead map, you have to find him randomly.

How rare is he? Because I've been exploring the marshes for quite a while and... Nothing.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Where have you previously found the purple glowpad merchant?

Is there going to be a fix for not needing the -console shortcut thingo? Without it the game still doesn't load :(

I savescum alot to find him.  I pretty much comb all the marsh zones around Joppa, and whenever I arrive at a new section, I save and then go and wipe out the zone slowly, if he appears then I reload the save so I can take out his friends without him seeing.  Out of I dunno.. 100 games probably? I've only seen him about 10 times, with 9 of those games actively searching for him.  I remember I posted a screen shot of him earlier in this thread.

Yeah, you did post an image of him earlier.
Yeah he just restocked for me and has more cool items..

I encountered him two screens east of Joppa.  Now I'm going to update and pray that I find him again.. He reminds me of Gheed from Diablo 2.

Edit: I just encountered a "Voider", which has a description of "It's a voider!" and a difficulty of easy. It doesn't seem to be coming towards me to attack for some reason. Will post what happens if something interesting happens.

Edit2: Hey, he teleported me right into a room FILLED with enemies! He is SO dead when I get back.

Edit3: I was just teleported again! There's more than one of them!

Edit4: ARGH, one of them is being an asshole! Hiding at a doorway, making it difficult for me to hit him without being teleported.

Stand over any liquid > press space > get liquid/fill desired waterskin > viola
But be reminded that drinking anything other than fresh water is a terrible idea.

What are the consequences of drinking the salt water?  Hallucination then death?

Thanks to this thread I downloaded the game yesterday.  After about 5 minutes of confusion (my first guy died when I tried to 't'alk to the first quest-giver) I found myself doing quite well.  Easily one of the more accessible roguelikes.  Based on my experiences, you can be successful with the most basic character types (standard melee fighter), but the complexity is there once you are ready for it.  Being able to see the basic attributes of armor/weapons at a glance is amazingly helpful.  A perfect game to help get me through the early-year game drought.

You 't'hrew a grenade at him instead. :P

Space is your 'do everything' key. You can use it to open chests, doors, talk to people, select stuff, etc.

Nothing terrible happened when I made my guy drink amoeba slime. I was a bit disappointed.

Saltwater makes you puke and become dehydrated. Not sure about others.
