Remember Your Charlemagne is... Kind of useless. It attempts to stun one or more enemys but rarely seems to stick or work as intended. The other skill, "This Translation is All Wrong!" will reroll an artifact's statistics. Meaning some added slashing damage for instance might become extra melee power, or something silly like sneakyness. It's a gamble, and it will slightly weaken the artifact too.

I never saw the appeal of spending all those points in archaeology just so you can double-curse every item you have. Isn't it hard enough just cursing it all once?

[Gunner-Chan]

It has it's uses. From what I saw in my last and only game I got that skill in it seems highly ranked items are cursed far less than more mundane items. But returns on blessings diminish after about 3 of them.

Edit: Also, is it, uh, possible to sell an item meant for a quest before you even get the quest?

No.
1) Quest items are spawned when you accept the quest.
2) Quest items have 0 value and can't be sold.

If you're wondering where the correct item is, there should be a crosshairs (I think?) on your minimap, if you've explored the area of the dungeon where it spawned.

This alchemy skill doesn't seem too great. Most of the useful items I could make with it (defense potions and such) seem to require quite a bunch of different stuff, and grog is useless to me. Is there any way to throw potions, though?

Alchemy is awesome, if you're playing a spellcaster, but requires severe inventory management. It also got nerfed lately, you used to be able to produce 1 high level (25+ turn regen) booze from a single apple or pear at level 2. Now, it takes four. Also, the transmutation skill now creates useless runes half the time (probably bug?). Anyhow, invisibility potions, virtually unlimited booze, healing and mana potions, powerful shields and staves, elemental resistance potions...Alchemy can be worth it.

Especially if you come into possession of a fruit staff, then those shortages won't be a problem anymore.

Nah its pretty good.
Basically it rerolls a artifact, so if you get a item that has +20 sneakiness, you can try a few times until it gives like +20 damage, or +10 magic power+10 resistances, or something else that isn't totally useless, combined with the fact that you can enchant artifacts more, it can make your artifacts much better.

I'm beggining to get angry with indie game support as a whole. The guy from Atom Zombie Smasher repeatedly failed to address my requests for support in Ubuntu 11.10 (was not able to play the game again until I bailed out of Ubuntu into Debian). Now the guys at Dredmor are failing to deliver a patch for the HiB version for two weeks now. And they promised it would be out early this week.

Why would they release separate patches for the HiB version?

[PsyberianHusky]

How do I use "That Belongs in a museum", Is any item a artifact or is it something that is rare?

[ChairmanPoo]

Why would they release separate patches for the HiB version?

Beats me. You'll have to ask them for that one. The way I hear it they have to compile it separatedly for some reason.

My problem is not that they are releasing separate patches, but that we're not getting patched at all. We already got apologies for the delay the 17th of december. Ok, no problem. But it has been almost a week since then, and still no patch

So I bought this, based mostly on the positive buzz around here and the fact that it was cheaper than a can of Pringles. xD

Anything I should know before playing, or just dive in, die horribly dozens of times and learn as I go?

The in game tutorial is broken at the moment, so find a good tutorial series on Youtube. Always have permadeath and DLC enabled. Enable no time to grind once you think you've got a good feel for the game.

That's about it.

No, I mean why would they release separate patches if everyone can just use the Steam version?  The HiB version was standalone purely because it was a pre-release of the latest patch. (with the female character and stuff already available)
At least, that's the impression I got. I can't find any sources denying or confirming that the HiB version was supposed to remain standalone after the Steam version caught up.

So, how do you split up a stack of something?

3 daedric lutefisk cubes isn't that useful.

[Gunner-Chan]

Hold down alt and click on the stack.
