As was said, the comma key disables the Quick-bar. However... It's not too obtrusive to rest the bar just over the character portraits, and the functions are useful once accustomed to them.

Somebody please tell me what to do with the Green Bush..

I'm about to go thru for a third time trying to find and solve everything. Yeah, that's how good this Mod is.

Where can I find this easter egg?

Well you can
a) gaze at it
b) click on it
c) listen to it

just finished mod and wanted to thank you for 2 hours of my live spent with this level. Lotsa custom assets in its best use, really enjoyed it. Whole level was nicely done, quite easy and well-arranged layout, not too much wandering around. The same is for riddles. I really loved the custom objects (animated human etc...), really wonderfull job.
Thanks for it and looking forward LOG2 and your custom work.

Thank you all for the info rgd the ui issue ...

Now back to the mod as I wanted to share following observation:
When I drink a water flask by dragging it over the avatar pic and left click, the drinking sound can be heard and
... the water flask disappeared! Has anyone else noticed this? I eventually could spawn it but would prefer to leave the console alone..

IOW, it does nothing. A nifty Red Herring.

Great mod. Outstanding art and assets, amazing level of detail (the falling leaves!), great ideas, and it all just fits seamlessly into the existing Grimrock world.

Now I don't want to be a nitpicker, but the one thing that could have used some improvement is the texts. I'm not saying they are bad, but if everything else is just about perfect, the one part that isn't stands out . I probably wouldn't care if the mod was primarily about the puzzles, but your main focus seems to be atmosphere, and texts can go a long way here (especially since we don't have much in the way of movie sequences or amimated dialogues in Grimrock). Maybe next time enlist some assistance there? In the other areas, you obviously don't need any, so please continue!

Ups !! you have found a bug, I just tested this and when you have one flask it disappears, if you have a stack of flasks it only returns 1 empty flask. Seems I have failed math again somewhere in this lua spaghetti madness

And I agree, English is my second learned foreign language (for some abominable reason all Icelanders are taught Danish as the first foreign language), but that's no excuse, the truth is that story telling and script writing is an art form by itself, one that I have no experience in.
I created the environment first, then tried to come up with a story that fits in that environment, the story is therefore limited by the surroundings, it then gets severely limited by what I can pull off on the screen. At first you needed to fight the elder, but my animations made stick figures look like a Pixar tour de force, I then created a semi decent idle animation for the dialog and he then gets corrupted and polymorphs into a Goromorg, but that made no sense lore wise and just looked tacky, put you get the point, compromises on top of compromises

My ideal position going into a mod project would be model,texture and sound guy (elements that make up the visual environment), there isn't a single line of lua code in this mod that I can say is my own, as the saying goes, I'm a dwarf standing on the shoulders of giants

Thanks for playing Anthony, glad you liked it.
