Banquet Table gone wild?

Post by Andreas » Tue Sep 28, 2010 8:58 pm

I examined a banquet table in a grotto of the ranger camp in the High Forest. This is what happened:

You see nothing special.
It is large in size.
It is made of wood and weighs about 5 pounds.

This usually happens when there is nothing in the banquet table item.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Spelling is not necessarily correct :)

I don't think I've ever seen this not happen with that table, though, and when it's full the spam is just brutal.

I wasn't able to reproduce this on the testport with any of the banquet tables in-game. Thought it may be the effect of some new mirror image code, but no dice. If you can see this on a regular basis, and have a convenient opportunity to find out, please see if others see the same thing at the same time - i.e., is it PC specific? Thanks!

I've seen this on several occasions with several PCs. I've seen it with permanent tables such as in wedding areas and also with tables set up for some special events, e.g. During the ceremony when the Lord's positions were formalised.

No, there was a loop here. There was an examine prog on the item that forced you to examine the table, thereby creating a loop. It's gone now.
