Sowelu's right. Having a particular weapon (lets say a long sword), would train your blades skill, your large weapon skill, your sword skill and also your skill with that particular sword. Switch to, say, a small club, and all your training would be wasted. A battleaxe would get about half your bonuses, and a different long sword would get almost all your bonuses. You'd still be best however, with the long sword you'd been using for a while. (If anything ever sparks my brain into coding nirvana, I'm adding weapon damage/repair to encourage looking after your weapons even more. No more dipping your sword in unidentified substances!

I don't think its 1673 words - I'm pretty sure there is a 40 thousand character limit.

@ GmcG

You do realise there was a topic on that 'Zombies ahead' thing right? With pictures and everything?

When I download I get an update failed message even though there's nothing to block it, and all the updates are in the folder.I also have the latest java version. Any ideas?

Who did Xotes belong to again?

Now that you say it... I think I remember who it is. Kinda weird that the Captain's wife was never claimed by anybody (I think).

To elaborate on what I was trying to say, when I said a knowledge system, I didn't mean game commands so much as game mechanics. If I ever manage to get my game working, a large part of it will be experimenting with substances to create poisons, potions, fuels and the like. Each game, the substances would be different, but after a while you'd be better at identifying them - maybe testing a small amount of a substance you found on a weapon to see if you get any poison bonuses.
Of course another way to get people's attention is achievements. I'd love to see a "Who can throw the Elf furthest" challenge when Fenrir's done his game.

Please elaborate. From what I've heard, the Director does a pretty good job of creating an atmosphere of horror.
