Hurray!
I've just seen what I have to defeat.
Oh sh...
There are already games that do this (some for different reasons, like sniper accuracy), Grand Theft Auto V, to be specific—you have to be careful that the deer don't smell you coming.
Yeah, I noticed that they don't smell you if you're above them, after a bit. you have to be on the same level for them to do it.
Another thing I believe I noticed about them is that they don't smell you unless you cross their patrol path before they reach that point. I'm not certain about this but it seemed to be the case.
In the hunter's village for instance I hid under the same stairs twice with the same dwarf patrolling. First time I dropped into it from the stairs and scuttled under (this dwarf never went up the stairs) He walked straight past.
Second time I approached from the other direction along his patrol path and hid under the stairs...amber alert.
It doesn't help much when you want to loot the materials and tokens from the room they're patrolling in...eau de dwarf in buckets!
(groans and covers eyes)
Ah, fəck me blind! (damned system keeps rendering "Awww" followed by comma wrong, as dot-net)
Gr-eat. After I come back from Master of Shadows, which I'm running through again to polish my stealth skills, I'll have to repeat that mission (current progress is temporarily halted during Mission 8).
Killing that dwarf and framing the elves for it was a real bear without that accursed potion!
Yep. there's a scent potion. The first time you visit Hunter's village with the dwarves and get to choose between sticking the drunk captain on the boat or freeing the airship captain, there's a recipe (with me It was just near the drunk captain's room, go up to the roof until you see a varandah with a green trellis over it...the room's next to that)
Once you've found the recipe you can craft it and it gives you immunity to the dwarves' scent ability for 3 minutes after you use it.
It made life a lot easier for me.
Looks like your advice has motivated me to change my plans: Upon my return, I'm going to repeat that mission first. That potion is a must-have item!
always found the airship-path to be the easier one. never bothered carrying that old fart
I went the airship route too but I explored both options first. Contagious invisibility could be useful if you opt to tote the drunken swine to the boat.
As for the ultimate utility of that potion, I guess I'll find out myself. I only know that I had a tough time of it assassinating that one character. You know the elves' sense of smell in the last game should have been a foreshadowing of what more was to come.
I think maybe I'll start over in this game just to make it interesting: Check off all the secondary objectives before proceeding to the next mission.
Actually, I rather do identify with that (my "admitted" hateur towards dwarves extends only to these mythical creatures, mostly for the inconveniences that they present). Until puberty rendered my beautiful singing voice more into the cawing of a hoarse raven [for ten doGdamned years], I was about a foot-and-a-half shorter than "everyone else." And skinny—I was skinny. I had to gain fourteen pounds (avoirdupois), a bit over six kilos, to be accepted as an enlisted volunteer in the American Navy (said feat augmented by expedience of eating ten poinds of bananas before weigh-in). I wore pants with a 28-inch / 71 cm waist until age 30, when I was once shocked to hear some person refer to me as "that tall skinny guy."
I've never dated a dwarf, but I did have a midget for a girlfriend, once. I developed a semi-permanent charlie-horse in my lower back because I walked with an arm about her waist. What a sight we must have made! Anyhow, some insensitive morons would make the mistake of referring to her as a dwarf, so I took it upon myself to A) educate them on the difference between dwarves and elves—oops! I mean "midgets," of course!— and B) ridicule them regarding thir unfortunate citcumstances of birth.
(smile) For some silly reason, that made ME the bad guy. At any rate, age has stolen almost two inches from my adult height; age-related disc compression in my spinal column leaves me at the modest height of 5' 10".
...5' 10"...you're still a giant compared to me!
Oddly enough, I dated a midget once, too. It was about the only time I ever felt tall.
I should get a job teaching kindergarten kids to bolster my self-esteem!
I remember watching a world cup football championship (soccer for Americans) many years back and wistfully dreaming of emigrating to Chile, since most of their football team looked shorter than me!
I imagined myself striding majestically through Santa Cruz with the locals whispering, "who's the lamky ♥♥♥♥♥♥?" behind my back!
Good luck with Eau de dwarf...I found it to be really useful.
