Myreque VI+ - what we know
Quick find code: 341-342-431-65125527
I was, however, disappointed that everything you interact with had the interaction as a left-click. I'd honestly hoped for Tytn-esque gameplay in which objects/scenery have a left-click investigate/look-at option that gives an elaborate description, whereas the right-click would be search/open/etc. that would allow you to progress. I really miss those Tytn options. Would have been perfect for e.g. the refined daeyalt, the rejuvenation tank and pretty much everything inside the hallucination version of Castle Drakan.
On a side note, audio updates that were released with the quest were quite nice. Utterly unexpected Paterdomus mausoleum update too, though I do miss the high walls and the old pillars. As for character updates, I only have a problem with Aeonis*g and Drezel. They essentially went from pretty unique designs and clothes to plain robes in one, boring colour. Drezel's using Ivan Strom's old chathead made dialogue quite confusing, too, I must say.
And Zaromark Sliver lost the spikes on his shoulders and wristguards, awe. The two accompanying miniquests were also very nice (I'd have done a few locations in The Lost Toys differently, e.g. bottom of Mort Ridge instead of Araxyte Hive, but eh. And added some ways to obtain crossbow strings inside Morytania...) and Fenkenstrain's Refrain remains brilliant after its update.
Final point I'd like to make concerns a very important plot point: the Edicts of Guthix. At the end of TLoV, it became apparent that risking a breach was Roald's only option, seeing that Vanescula was going to attack no matter what. I had expected this to become very important in RoB, but somehow it wasn't even alluded to. The Church of Saradomin were still investigating the Edicts, trying to find a loophole, and I imagined they would finally have come up with something at the start of the quest, possibly something His Grace Aeonis*g would like to keep from the King. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Now, for me personally, the puzzle required trivial effort since I knew the Seven Priestly Warriors' names and birthplaces by heart, so I can't complain about that. The fact that another one of those "n/7 done!" overhead counters appeared whenever you found a correct book, however, did annoy me quite a bit. I repeat: this is a
grandmaster
quest. There should be no helpful interfaces or indications that you are doing it correctly or not; if you fail, you should find out only after attempting to obtain the book you seek and be hit by a powerful blast of holy energy that deals high damage, or be teleported into the middle of Mort Myre or something. It's a tiny part of the quest, but this handholding really annoyed me. That said, nice Monty Python reference with Falador. Would Falador have been significant enough to mention by name two hundred years ago, though?
Lovely hidden bonus dialogue with King Roald and Veliaf Hurtz in the meantime.
Anyway, book obtained, and it was an immensely interesting tome. Kudos. Time to desecrate Ivandis's tomb! The hint to use Guthix Balance was extremely obvious but perhaps that's just my own extensive knowledge (if I say so myself) of the story, so...eh. Gasp, he is not actually inside his coffin. However, a case containing more diary pages, a recipe for Super Guthix Balance, a sil*thril bar and some fancy Guthix serum (could it be Tears of Guthix?) are. I only figured out how to read these new diary pages at the end of the quest (silly) but they were very interesting indeed. Another tragic fate to add to the Myreque series' tally, and I have a fairly good idea of where Ivandis eventually ended up. This also makes Priest in Peril a bit more significant...
