    • Minotaur Potion duration?


      Dear god, I hope this isn't a bug...

      My character has been a minotaur for about 10 minutes now. How long does it last? Is there any way to revert back to normal? The Minotaur hammer sucks and I want use of my wolf claws back.

      Because of frequent crashing, I save my game constantly, and I happened to save it after I'd transformed, so I'm screwed if this is a bug. I'm going to let the game run all night and hopefully my character will be his bright, cheery Ranger self in the morning.

      Moral of the story- don't do drugs, or potions.

    • Still a minotaur?

      If so then I'm sorry but you're up the proverbial creek without means of propulsion.
      In hindsight, as a general rule do not save your game when your character is altered
      by a timed event. If the game crashes or you reload, sometimes the event itself will
      not be reloaded and thus it will not wear off(I believe this is what is happening with
      this bug...).

      Another tidbit for future problem solving is that when you save your game either save
      via a sequential order(ie, game1, then game2, game3, etc) or on a rotational basis
      if you do not have the hard drive space(ie, game1, game2, game3, game1, game2, etc).
      This way if you have a problem and are forced to revert back to an earlier saved game
      you may not be S.O.L. if you have a game saved from before the problem occured.

      Good luck. I sincerely hope your ranger will be back when you check this morning.

      It's alright. I discovered that I had one previous backup. I saved it off right after I acquired the pathefinder skill and thought the "S" in the circle was a missing graphic bug for the Sapphire plugin. It's considerably earlier in the game, but I honestly felt like I was powergaming through the narrative, so I'll play it through this time and savor it. Thank you very much for offering to fix the save.
