Played game many times over the years. Both from disc and GOG... this download from GOG... I've been in Harmondale and the castle for at least three years... Game time. Not including the few months spent on Evenmore Island.
Been to every place transportation can take me... always returning to Harmondale. Still nothing, anywhere on the map, resets or respawns.
No horse shoes... no genie lamps... monsters... nuttin.... Shops work great... Spaming always gives new inventory. But that's all that resets.
ONLY major thing I did different in this play through was on Evenmore.
I did not take the offer from the guy on Evenmore...about the wand.. I lured the dragon flies to town and took the wand from his body, after they killed him.
Maybe that bugged it??? Maybe something in some "script" got broken with him dying like that????
Don't have any of the patches installed... but, haven't installed patches on other play throughs and this never happened. Any ideas?? Thanks
I GOT THE ANSWER..... played all MM's... so many times and NEVER even considered this could be the problem... A great bit.... DUH....
The.... Game Clock..... DOES NOT start when you leave the island and enter Harmondale... or the Castle... The darn clock starts when you go to Barrows and talk to the King .. don't have to do the Bracada rescue quest, to start the GAME CLOCK.... Just be sure to go and at least talk to the Dwarf King... BEFORE you do anything else.
Like I did this time around. So, never ran into the issue....
Thank you everyone.. Hope this helps someone who tries a play through... out of sequence...
PS... tested this several "starts"... and it's correct. Got to speak to Dwarf king to start the Game Clock.... for respawning. The only thing that worked correctly, even without speaking to the Dwarf king... was "spam/saving" in the shops. That worked... but nothing else...no horseshoes... lamps... bad guys... etc...
Spoke to him and returning to Harmondale... and every where else... were my horseshoes... lamps... ets...
