tripboy: found a game breaking bug. when i accidentally used two parts of magnificent dagger, they disappeared from my inventory. now i am stuck at the quest with judge valerian as i got no evidence against him.
that ruins the game for me as i cant even think of restarting and going to iron mines again. was a pretty good experience but this is some stupid bug lol.
How do you mean used? Did you try to equip it or something? The only icon that shows up on an items description screen is the destroy button. At any rate it sucks that you lost them but you don't have a savegame from before they disappeared? It's an old habit of mine to save a milestone/progress savegame periodically just in case a reused file gets corrupted or I save myself into a corner persay. If all you ever use is temporary saves that you keep reusing you'll never be able to backtrack if you've made a choice you later regret. that ruins the game for me as i cant even think of restarting and going to iron mines again. was a pretty good experience but this is some stupid bug lol.
That said it's got to be frustrating. I've yet to experience anything like this in this game and I hope it stays that way.
Could be worse. Bethesda's games are nitoriously buggy. A while back I reloaded Fallout 3 and was amused to find that some of the terrain and npc model bugs were alive and well despite having the latest patch. Watching dead npc models jerk around like they're having a seizure and then flying off into the sky is only entertaining the first couple times. Getting stuck underneath doodads because you fell into the ground is just infuriating.
