Crucis Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) What it really needs is a Tome of Amazing Agility, or a Codex of Stupendous Strength, etc. Or maybe an Idiot's Guide to Disarming Traps. Or Super Simple Stealthing in Six Simple Steps. (The book might be nearly invisible and require 10 points in Mechanics to detect.)

Jojobobo Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 That's cool, I usually can't be bothered to read the books (I did first playthrough, but they're pretty dry and a lot of historical exposition is revealed in game any way) but it's nice to know that if I fancy a reading binge I can do.

Starwars Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Do you have to take the books with you in your inventory to unlock them at Caed Nua or is just reading them enough?

Achilles Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 That's a really good question. I'm not even sure you have to read them. I read every book I found during my 1st playthough and the ones I didn't find the first time in my 2nd playthough. Haven't read any since then. They still show up in the library though, so I'm guessing you simply have to pick them up. "Art and song are creations but so are weapons and lies" "Our worst enemies are inventions of the mind.

Irrevenant Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Huh. I haven't gotten the Library yet. I've just been stealing and stashing a copy of every new book I find with the intention of reading them later. "Heh heh. Dirt... Nap... Dirt nap!"

Grom56 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I wonder... What about the books you picked up before getting the library? Will they show up? Or maybe you have to take them to the library to have them show up? This is a nice touch indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you have to take them to the library to have them show up? This is a nice touch indeed. Yes, books you pick up before the library unlocks will be there. I had noticed that each time I visited the library, there were more shelves available than there were the previous visit. I suspected that this wasn't random and that the cause of the new shelves was my finding new books. So after starting a new character and progressing to the point that the Library was available, I moved all the books I had from the stash to inventory. Then I went to each shelf, identified the book, and moved my copy to that shelf. When I was finished, I had no more books in my inventory, thus confirming that finding books unlocks shelves. The only thing I haven't resolved is if selling the book will disable the shelf. I doubt it, but worth checking someday.

Enoch Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 This makes me feel like an idiot for meticulously checking each shelf to see if it had any titles I hadn't seen yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwinP Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Nice touch. I wonder if the developers will add a NPC Librarian to the library room? The librarian could be another source of quests Librarian - "My Lord we are missing the Book of xxxxx. Acquiring it would complete your collection" Librarian - "My Lord, your book of Lexor contains clues to the location of the lost city of the Dwarves" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) EdwinP, you should should start writing checks for all these ideas you keep having. Development time costs money, or didn't you know that? Edited May 10, 2015 by Achilles "Art and song are creations but so are weapons and lies" "Our worst enemies are inventions of the mind.

My guess is the latter, but it's entirely possible it's the former. That's a big enough change that you'd think it would have at least deserved a mention in the patch notes, if it were something new.

Achilles Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Quick update: Reading the book isn't sufficient; it must hit your inventory (Stash counts) in order to unlock in the Library. Hopefully this means there aren't any steal-only books in the game "Art and song are creations but so are weapons and lies" "Our worst enemies are inventions of the mind. Pleasure. Fear.

Hopefully this means there aren't any steal-only books in the game As far as I can tell, even in areas with steals, books don't count - you can happily take all the books from peoples' homes/offices/temples and nobody blinks. (Can't be sure though - just don't remember seeing books in a 'thief-icon' box) Edited May 16, 2015 by Silent Winter _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
