Command Typo During Combat

Post by Trochilus » Thu Oct 18, 2012 2:04 pm

I think I've seen this before, but read right over it until now.
After you start combat, if you attempt to take another action, such as put something in your pack, while you are in combat, you open up your guard momentarily.
The command I typed was 'put all pack', and I got the following output:
A hulking sewer rat attacks as you open your guard attempting to put!

I'm no English scholar, but I'm pretty sure that sentence is incomplete. :)

This is not a typo (typographical error) per se, but simply the result of a simple function in the complex combat system. The same thing happens if you were to try to rescue your horse Trigger by typing rescue trig; you would see '...as you attempt to rescue trig'. It returns your input with little filter.

I am moving this to Game Suggestions.

It actually makes sense to me.

A hulking sewer rat attacks as you open your guard attempting to put!

Put being a command you enter. So he is literally attacking you as you attempt to use the command "put".
