After completing Secret of the Silver Blades, I made sure to unequip every single item (except for one item on one of my 2 mages - more on that below) in each character's inventory & saved the game. Then I removed each character from the party. I tried saving the game then, but there wasn't an option on the start screen to do so. I installed Pools of Darkness from the GOG Galaxy program. Then I copied the entire "Secret of the Silver Blades" directory into the Pools of Darkness directory and renamed it to "SECRET" all in capital letters.
I then launched the game, and I selected to load a saved game from Secrets, but there's no saved game that appears. Thinking that perhaps the GOG Galaxy program was the culprit, I launched the game directly from DOSBOX via a shortcut that was in the Pools of Darkness directory. The game loaded, and I repeated the steps above, but there still was no saved game appearing from Secret of the Silver Blades. I was able to load a saved game from Pool of Radiance, but obviously that is not what I want to do as my characters are at maximum level from Secret of the Silver Blades, thus having more powerful abilities.
The only thing I can think of is one of my mages has a Cloak of Displacement equipped, but I cannot unequip it from her. Whenever I try to unequip it, the game stops responding. I cannot move the cursor in the Secret of the Silver Blades game nor does anything I press on the keyboard responds and I have no choice but to exit the game without saving & I have to load from an earlier save. The thing is the cloak isn't cursed, because when I went to the temple to remove the curse, I am told that my mage isn't cursed.. I am concerned this is the reason why I cannot load a saved game. That somehow, my mage having that Cloak of Displacement equipped is preventing me from doing that. But I cannot seem to unequip it from her.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
