    What purpose do the guilds serve in Aralon? I was expecting to get some quests from them, but they haven´t given me anything. I tried to join the Knights of Callaheim, all i got was a guild key. Will this come into play later in the game? Please tell me it will. :)

    Just wanted to chime in and say congratulations to both developers - I've been really enjoying the game, I think they've accomplished a monumental task by bringing this kind of game on the iOS platforms.

    I also wanted to point out that its a bit of a shame that a chunk of the press seems to acknowledge this as a Crescent Moon game, without splitting the pie evenly between them and Galoobeth Games. Its good that TA on their review gave the full story behind the developement. I think both devs made an incredible effort and the result is a landmark product, well done.

    For anyone experiencing a crash during character creation after selecting your class, please try following these steps:

    1. Transfer the game to iTunes by syncing (if you didnt already but through iTunes)
    2. use iTunes to update the game to the latest version (2.0)
    3. remove the app from your device and do a clean install of the updated app from iTunes

    I have had feedback that following these steps fixed the issue.

    Great looking and moving game so far, gotta ask though, is it me or is the sound/music buggered in this game? Numerous times I've heard drops from sound f/x, voice acting being drowned by the musical score in the opening cinematic when you speak to your fathers friend, and just general sound queue's that are absent like leveling up and such.

    It's definitely miles above Ravensword though, just thought these sound issues were very out of place for a other wise polished title.

    BTW I'm using the new iPod Touch 4th gen, I'll try restarting the Pod..

    P.S. Josh and crew, you def need to add volume sliders for the BG music and Sound F/x that would help.

    Cheers,

    ~t

    They really should fix the iphone size buttons and inventory screens for the iPad. :mad:

    On the upside, the game looks and plays great.:D

    Once you're an outlaw, do you stay an outlaw? Is there anyway to revert back to good?

    There will be a way to revert your outlaw status in the next update.

    Gate glitch?

    I'm playing on a 2nd gen iPod touch - no problems so far and looks like a great game, but when I go through the village gate I fall and die. I've seen this problem reported elsewhere in this thread but can't see any solution - can anyone help? Is it because I'm playing on 2G?

    I see.

    Is it a difficult game?

    Are there houses I can go into? Can I lockpick doors? Explore caves? Swim?

    After a proper play at it and using first person perspective this time it's actually very good there are some little annoyances but nothing devastating as yet.
    Was quite magical swimming in the sea the first time and seeing the eels and lobsters brought me right back to morrowind when it amazed me with wildlife and such.

    My minor gripes are so far mainly to do with the characters you hire you for help they make it really difficult to loot bodies as you end up talking to them instead and occasionally you get boxed in somewhere by them and can't move unless you dismiss them it's still a nice touch though.

    Only at level 7 but it's enough to see some real work went into the game and it is really cool with some minor tweaks here and there I think it could be something really special.

    Wow, this game has a lot of bugs. Within the first couple of minutes my game froze after i tried to equip some boots i found in a chest. Now i'm stuck in a the first cave you come by, because i feel. I tried to reload but it apparently autosaved just as i fell. Now i have to restart the game. :/

    Also, why isn't there Game Center support for achievements? Seems weird since the game already have achievements.

    Enjoying the game!

    Found a lockup. Warrior guild quest in the main city. When I go to the hedge maze to listen to conversation, it plays a cinema scene. At the end when you have to click the last time it locks up. Tried it 3 times.

    Also, as above, with all these achievements, why isn't Gamecenter incorporated? :(

    Level 12 and following the main quest atm. Very good game, but my question still remains: Will i get sidequests from the guilds later in the game? I joined the Knights but haven´t got a special guild quest so far.

    Playing 2.0 at the moment and it's still happening. Tried different characters, turning off graphical detail, the lot - I go through the door and seem to warp to an area where I fall and die!

    Desperate to sort this out as what I've played of the game so far is fantastic - I want to see more! I know I shouldn't even be playing it on a 2G device, but now that I've started I'm very keen to carry on!

    I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but if there are this many bugs and glitches, I wouldn't mind buying it just for that :p

    I love glitches in single-player games :D They can be really fun, and occasionally lock-ups can be funny.

    Can you do things like lockpicking in the game, by the way?

    With any luck it's on the list of bugs to be fixed for the next release? The problem seems to be limited to the 2G devices, though. I tried reinstalling, playing with different character creation option, graphics options, even switching the language on my iPod back to English and nothing seems to fix it.
