[SPOILERS]

As soon as I returned the four memory crystals to the Oracle in Might and Magic VI, I was not able to get any further hints from the Seer in the Castle Ironfist area. When on the "Hint" option, nothing happens. I'm certain there are supposed to be more hints. Anyone know what's going on?

Perhaps Seer needed a break? Did you place all 4 crystals in the place with the Oracle? Got task from Oracle him/herself to go to Tomb of VARN, which holds key to Control Center?

:D

Yes, I placed all four crystals and got the Tomb of VARN quest.

"To gain access to the Control Center, you will need the Control Cube located in the Temple of VARN in Dragonsands. Bring the Cube back to the Oracle to gain admittance into the Control Center. The Kreegan reactor is immune to all attacks. Only the ancient weapons from the Control Center will harm the reactor. Make sure you have these weapons and the skill to use them."

That's what Seer should have told you. Just do Tomb of VARN and grab Control Cube, without handing it in, talk with Seer, perhaps he will be more talkative this time. What MM6 version do you play?

This is kind of embarrassing to ask, but how do I know the version number of the game I am running. I can't find version numbers on the GOG site, and clicking on Properties in Windows doesn't show it either.

I downloaded the game about 2 months ago (beginning of October) and just installed the unofficial patch today. However, I was having the hint problem before I downloaded the unofficial patch, so I don't think it's connected.

OK...might take a while.

It took me a while to post again on this because I needed to get through the Tomb of VARN to make sure. But now I know that, for some reason, the Seer has simply stopped giving hints after I returned the four memory crystals to the Oracle. It still comes up blank when I click on "Hint."

I even went back to an old save game to check, but it's the same thing. The Seer gives hints until I return the four memory crystals but none after.

Just in case anyone's interested. I played the rest of the game and the Seer gave the rest of the hints. It was just that one hint that was missing, and GOG support more or less agreed with you about possibly corrupted save files. It's not worth trying to figure out. I consider the matter closed.

Ok now that I am replaying this game and made it to exactly the same quest as you, Seer didn't want to give me any hint on Control Cube. I play pure unaltered GOG version of the game.

Text, which I quoted above, is from game files and should be the text of missing Hint.

It is just a minor bug though. I don't think anyone is that crazy to collect all Seer's Hints, especially if to consider that it is very easy to skip the very first Hint (when you start game, you need to run to the Seer before even visiting Potbello in New Sorpigal tavern).

At least this version has fixed Memory Crystals. Unpatched version had locations of Crystals listed all wrong (including Seer's Hint). Perhaps when this was fixed, the next Hint became broken.

Yes, it's minor. I'm just a completist when it comes to my computer games:) (i.e I want to do everything possible).
