I found a scroll somewhere that I can't read - is it
one of the 4? Also, I'm not sure where the
steps near the library shelf are to put the evidence.I am guessing you mean the scroll that you cant "open" to read - it just stays in inventory as a scroll? If so it's not
one of the 4 and I suspect it's the one from the High Priests room - not crucial. Its the cathedral's
small library you need for your other question. :D

Ah! The bookshelf. :laff:

I'm really enjoying this mission, but at the moment, I'm so damn confused.
Okay, so I've spoken to the hammerite priest, got the mission to take back the artifacts. Then I headed to Webster's house and got the objectives to steal Ramirez's ledger and meet Webster at the cemetery. Thinking it was following the correct order, I meant Webster at the cemetery first. However, I'm REALLY confused as to how the cemetery meeting is suppose to go. When I approach the entrance I get a "Hide in shadows" message...I'm not really sure why being as the Hammerite just sort of ignores me even if I'm spotted. When I walk into the cemetery a gate closes behind me which I apparently need the key the Hammerite is carrying in order to open. After a while ghost-Webster steps out and talks to me...and then ALWAYS (I've replayed this conversation like 5 times) turns into a werewolf thing and attacks the Hammerite, and then me. Is this just suppose to happen? Am I breaking something by letting him transform? Why does he want to rip my spleen out right after asking me to help him? Was I suppose to stay hidden throughout this whole conversation so he would never transform, hence the "Hide in shadows" warning? Then why won't he talk to me unless I reveal myself? GOD I'M SO CONFUSED! Anyway, I need a little clarification here. I'm really enjoying this mission and don't want to break it (also, I realize this could be a problem with the custom scripts acting weird on my PC).
Edit: [spoiler] After replaying this again, I'm pretty sure he is suppose to transform and attack you at the end of this conversation, being as you get a new objective after he kills the Hammerite (I'd have noticed that if I wasn't so impatient). It just kind of struck me as odd that he would transform into a werewolf and try to kill you right after telling you to help him out...it kinda seems like something he should do after you get his book for him.[/spoiler]

I had a small problem with that bit myself. First time around I lifted the key from the Hammerite so I was able to sneak out of the cemetery. When I thought I'd done it all wrong I tried again and couldn't get the key. And yes, that sodding werewolf got me. I jumped up on a sarcophagus and chucked a few water arrows around and sneaked out. Best way I found was to trigger the conversation and then hide in the dark. But the Hammerite sometimes attacks him and sometimes doesn't. Anyway, you need that key so you can get out and then come back later with a special weapon.

You've done everything right as far as I can see, The Mike!
I am not totally sure what the "Hide in the Shadows" message is for - although there were a number of issues during beta testing in the cemetery and darthsLair may have introduced it to help with the gameplay or prevent a remote chance of the wrong thing happening. Webster will start his speech (etc) whether you are hidden or not - you haven't broken anything.
If your objective was to come and meet him then you've done that - I suggest you make good your escape and continue with the other Objectives.

@The Mike. The Cemetery meeting: The reason the Amilion is ignoring you here is because he your ally, as all the Hammerites. He was trapped in the cemetery. Read the Roof top instructions That Mr. Webster gave you, and also frob the Lockbox at the Cemetery outside gates. Mr.Webster is supposed to try to kill you, and needing the Ramirez book was also a ploy to get you in the Cemetery so he could kill you. The Hammerites are having you gather 4 books of evidence, and on of them is Ramirez Ledger. The Reason Mr.Webster wants you dead, is because he set you up as a fall guy for the murders he committed, and you are the only one who can expose he ill deeds. Also read the Commissioner's Red Book of evidence.

Thanks for responding, I was pretty convinced I broke something. :erg:
Anyway, I'm even more stumped now...
I've explored, as far as I can tell, every nook and cranny of Ramirez's mansion, and I can't find his ledger anywhere. I'm assuming it's in that safe in his room but I have no clue as to where I might find the combination.
nickie on 6/2/2011 at 20:52
The combination is elsewhere. Have you seen that female thief type with the mask? That's the area you need to be looking in.

Has anyone had a problem with reading the scrolls. ? They open fine but the text appears to be all washed out and grainy/pixellated, almost like it's been written in invisible ink. It's extremely hard to read. :erg:
I know I installed something a while back that lessens the time delay between activating scrolls and the text coming up on the screen. It's weird. Can't say if it changed before/after removing the EP but I doubt whether this would be linked.
Any thoughts on this would be welcomed.

Hi Procession, Look in your T2 directory for a folder "Books" that may have been left from another fm.Those were book files left behind from a FM which were overriding the default images, and had a palette that wreaked havoc with the default fonts.
