I'm playing this game since 2001 (and never finished it).
Started over a few times with different characters and, this time, I've started with a low-int, high-str Half-Ogre.
I'm having too much fun with this chap =)

The problem is, obviously, I can't get many quests because people think I'm a moron (Can't blame them). I REALLY wanted to go to Dernholm but all people (that I know of) that would give me the location, either treat me like an idiot and refuse to talk to me, or their quest is evil aligned and my dumb ogre has a good heart and a pure soul.

For roleplaying purposes, I don't want to just get the coordinates and travel there. I want my char to KNOW its location.

Are there some way to acquire it, other than Percival and the "Destroy the Engine" quest?

Muro on Terra Arcanum says you can pester Shrouded Hills passersby for rumors and they will eventually mark the location. I haven't tested it yet.

Doesn't work that way for me. You can have Dernholm marked by Shrouded Hills residents, but not by asking them for rumours. It comes up as a seperate dialog option when you meet some other requirement - probably having initiated the Toone mine quest and gotten to the point where Percival Toone refuses to tell you where Dernholm is.

I couldn't find a way to make Dernholm appear for a stupid character without doing obviously evil quests either - even waiting until you get to Stillwater and accepting Adkin Chambers' quest to kill Garrick Stout doesn't mark Dernholm on your map. I eventually gave up and just forced its appearance. Not very satisfying.

I can confirm that myself... :/
I eventually manage to get Dernholm location much later in the game. I think I got it from the guy in Black Root who teaches you to become a Melee Expert. He pointed the location of the Melee Master in Dernholm. But, by that point, I didn't even care about it anymore. :P

Anyway, thank you both for your input.
