I've got this barbarian, right? I've got Grod but just can't see myself using it through the entire game when I've picked up things like whip of the vampire snake and Silence of the Dead, but I digress. I'm doing the Rolf quest and head off to the stone dragon caves, leaving scores of one-shotted bodies in my wake. One of those bodies? Was apparently a dwarf. "Meh", I said to myself. "It won't matter, I've already talked to Rolf and started the quest so I should be able to finish it no problem". Came back to pick up my axe and shield, discovered that it was very much a problem so now I've got a quest I can never complete. No big deal, I've never done the volcano so I might as well try it since I can't take my normal approach. Did the volcano and was underwhelmed, cleaned out the potion shop that generated halfway down because why not, decided that the amulet was in no way worth it, went to pick up Yggaz to go meet the ice queen. I got him out of town and made it to the first screen of ice and snow but he's stumbling around and I've got from "Satiated" to "Hungry" a couple of times already waiting on him to at least pretend to follow me so we can make it through the blizzard to the palace. He doesn't care about orders and giving him another bottle of mead doesn't seem to motivate him to follow me any more closely or anything at all. Is there a magical child leash or a controlled teleporting other trick that I know nothing about for actually getting him to go where he needs to go to make the earthquakes stop? I'm toying with the idea of save scumming just to see if I knock him over the head and drag his corpse into the palace if that will count as close enough. Who knew that a stumbling drunk would be so hard to manage?
