Beriberu's nickname - a coincidence?

[littlebro]

Is it just a coincidence that Beriberu was called "Pinkie" in the game, which was what we ended up calling him in one of the teaser threads?

[Kes]

err... confession time.

I was so taken with the name when people began using it that I went back into the game and changed a few bits and added others so that he could be called that as well.

[littlebro]

Thanks for the info.

Kat (who was the person who first came up with the name Pinkie) will be pleased.

A glitch:
I just entered Hartoft for the first time (that's after returning to Eshley after Roke Marsh and having gotten new instructions) and that Beriberu thingy is talking to me although I haven't even met it yet.

Thanks. That was reported by another player this morning and it's been fixed. I don't know if Indy has had the chance to upload the new version which takes this into account. If he hasn't done it already it will certainly be happening soon.

In the meantime, something you might like to think about

Spoiler: show

If you've got to Hartoft Hall without that character that means that you have not completed an extremely useful sidequest from Loxton yet. You might like to consider going back and getting it if you haven't got it already (it's quest #7)and completing it before going any further in the story.

Thanks. That was reported by another player this morning and it's been fixed.

Oh sorry. I'm not reading all the posts now because I know from experience that I'll stumble over spoilers that way which I don't want.
Thank you for the hint. I guess I'll go back a bit. I just haven't found a solution to that quest yet.
(Stupid me has not been reading well enough, so I don't really know what that guy actually wants from me, lol.)

[Kes]

If you have collected the quest, I suggest that you explore the area around Loxton and see what you come up with.

[Cassiopeia]

I will. Thank you!

Edit: Hm, I still have no clue what I'm supposed to do.
What I did:

Spoiler: show

I talked to that guy at the vineyard, he complained about his vines being spoiled. I believe he even asked me for help to find a solution, but I didn't get a quest note. I tried to talk to the man at the inn to let him know about that bad news, but that obviously wasn't what needs done. I still don't know what the guy expects from me.

[littlebro]

I did that quest. The clue is

Spoiler: show

It's a herbal remedy. Bastien says he's a chef, not a herbalist. So, go to the only herbalist you've met.

[Cassiopeia]

Ooooooh! Thank you, littlebro!
See, I should just read better! I'm mostly just flip through the dialogs!

[Cassiopeia]

Another question about Beriberu: Why does he lose his TP after every fight? Is that a glitch or is it intended because he's a weird thingy with weird behavior?
(Btw - I LOVE him! I WANT him!!!! )

[Kes]

No, not a glitch, it is indeed because he's a weird thingy with weird behaviour.
So he starts off with a random amount each time, because he is so unpredictable.

I'm glad you like him. I think he's an acquired taste.

[Cassiopeia]

Very unpredictable! You never know how many times he'll attack!

I think he's an acquired taste.

He just needs to be silenced with a spell everytime they meet other people!

[Kat]

Thanks for the info.

Kat (who was the person who first came up with the name Pinkie) will be pleased.

Thanks littlebro for the acknowledgement I feel extremely honored to have Pinkie being used in this great
game

Sir Beriberu disregards your vain attempt at flattering him.
And that's Sir Beriberu btw, not Pinkie.
