    They look good but this is the only on Ive ever played and the button layout in the lite version isn't my favorite

    Well, I just found out that, since the witches hammer was stolen from me, I'll never be able to kill the witch queen, since there's no way to get it back. I thought it was supposed to be stolen. It wasn't made clear it would screw me over and that my only recourse would be to load a save. It's been hours since I saved over it. It annoys me I'll never be able to get rid of that quest, even by failing it.

    Funny, I asked the same question 2 posts back.
    it's a glitch and the quest should have failed.. so it's going to be stuck forever in your inventory :(

    I know, and that part was the only one I didn't save for a long time.. was like 4 game days in between.
    Didn't feel like killing all the peeps again... was a pain when i was a low level.
    Now I am on day 57 and running around Mytria.. the Governor quest to get into the castle..
    so no way, I am starting all over.

    Well, that's shitty. The completionist side of me wants to just stop playing now.

    Oh man that sucks! For some stuff like this can be game breaking, its such a shame.
    If its a glitch the devs are on here so hopefully they will see it?

    I remember when many, many years ago I devoted a lot of my life to playing Might and Magic IV and V- World of Xeen and ran into a bug at the end where I was unable to transfer Corak's essence into the Soul Box.
    It effectively meant I was unable to finish the game and I was devastated at the time.

    I swore to never again play a computer game.

    20 years pass and over 500 computer games and now countless iOS games later, I think I am finally over that disappointment..........I think.

    We looked into it and I think we fixed the "Kill the Witch Queen" quest. It'll be failed as intended if the "Hammer of Witches" item is taken away. The fix will be in the next update.

    Of course that doesn't do anything for those who already had this happen to their character. But if the outstanding quest bothers you, just send us your save file and I'll fail the quest for your.

    Elendil isn't it true that Zarista won't be able to make any HD remakes of there exspansions? I love this version but when I go to try the lite version it's kind of a hard switch because I started with the HD one of that makes sense?

    I've talked about it already in the thread. ;)

    But again: creating expansions for the HD version is not possible at the moment (Islands of Ice and Fire is special cased in the executable, was a lot of work). After the Android version is released, I'll add Steamworks integration, meaning anyone will be able to create expansions. At least that's the plan, it'll take a lot of time and work to make that happen. :p That will make it relatively easy to create expansions with existing graphics. However the new graphics in Zarista Games' expansions was drawn by Sylon (our graphics guy), at least large part of it. And he is very busy with The Quest 2. All together that means that updated expansions from Zarista might happen (after Steamworks integration is done) or might not (Zarista was open to the idea of expansions for Steam, but not commited). But if some do happen, I'm reasonably sure we can work together to bring them to iOS too.

    So, there you have it. It all depends. :)

    Oh man the original graphics are grittier, and give it a more ominous feel. I prefer it as the everything looked freakier. You are missing out seriously, as it would not take you long to adjust because of how great the gameplay is!

    Sorry the thread has gotten kind of long. Thank you for the reply I want to play the original once I'm finished. The problem is I really like the small changes that have been made. The improved to the UI, the enemies appearing on the mini map,and control button layout are just better.

    I still play the original plus ALL expansions on my iPad mini 2 and it looks fine. I even play the HD version on the same machine as it is easier for me to hold. I may even play the expansions as standalone games and just stick to the HD version plus, for The Quest Gold saga. Decisions, decisions, life is soooooo hard ###

    This sounds promising! Will the user created expansions be able to come to iOS too, or will that only be available via Steam on PC? Man, if user content was coming to iOS, this game would probably NEVER run out of expansions. LOL!

    The original graphics aren't an issue for me either (the new ones ARE beautiful btw), but I must admit I prefer the HD version largely because of all the little improvements they've added. Being able to leave notes on the map is a game changer for me! I used to take screenshots of specific places and mark them up in a photo app and then save them to a file storage app. I know, I'm crazy. LOL!!

    You can't just put a PC expansion on the iPhone. All graphics must be processed specifically for iOS.

    Also because all expansions will work just like they do now for The Quest, we'll have to publish them as standalone apps. But if there will be high quality expansions for Steam, we can talk with the creators.

    But don't get too far ahead, Steamworks integration is still quite a bit off. :p
