Deus Ex Collection puzzle giveaway. [ended] Now with answers.

Closed

So I like puzzles, right? And I didn't want to make a reasonably difficult puzzle for a shitty prize. So here I bought DX Collection and made a puzzle that is probably pretty tough but! It is based on gaming and the questions are all trivia and not "Have I eaten this morning?" "Bruteforce a twodigit number" (with the exception of one but it's super-easy).

The theme for the puzzle is "Games Caspianroach played and enjoyed". I took some random facts from the games I liked (some more than others) and it's up to you to figure them out. Most of them are pretty easy to find on the internet I believe, and those that aren't so are easily bruteforced from a small list. For the duration of my life and yet still I have only had PC to game on, so the questions are all PC-based. (oh well I had Nintendo system for about an hour but it burned itself a little after launch)

You have until "Time at which hints will appear + 10 hours" to solve this.

No hints/answers allowed in this topic or somewhere else. If you do that, you're a horrible person.

No sharing the giveaway and no group solving, please.

If something is ridiculously hard/stupid and a lot of people can't figure it out, I'll toss an additional hint. But only if there's not many solvers already.

Puzzle link, 12 questions.

Answers:

Petruccio — the lil' brother who asked you to bring him feathers
Zaeed Massani — if you do his loyalty mission after the suicide mission it is possible to leave him to die there
Soulshot — doubled your hit damage
Siphon Life — was fucking amazing until it got changed
Girl Power — the only reason Siren doesn't die in Borderlands
Vorpal Sword — Pit Lord's passive, although he rarely gets a chance to use it because he's fucking slow
New Reno — the biggest little city in the world
Irrigation — I for Irrigation!
0 — I don't give a toss
Wirt — poor boy, he died shortly before D2
Almsivi — Almalexia + Sotha Sil + Vivec. No it's not Tribunal. Almsivi is the proper dunmer name for the dunmer gods
GOTCHA! — because he gotcha.

I now know why I hate MMOs. I just can't find a comprehensive list of items in Lineage II or abilities in WOW.

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

There are databases for everything in WoW. They are very well-known.
As for Lineage2 I don't really know how can you find it, but you should be able to.

found a Lineage II item list and the answer. But WOW is just so cofusing for me. None of the skills seem to fit.

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I hate WoW... that's the only question that's really giving me trouble. :| I keep finding stupid (imho) forum debates about warlock tanking and nerfs. :P
(The rest of the Qs, btw, were pretty fun to find answers to.)

Try manually searching through the warlock spell databases.

So it's not an ability but a spell? The question says ability.

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

spell=ability

13 years ago

At the moment it's a talent. Talents have spellIDs like the active spells.

I'll die to see some hints on Q10 Q11 and Q12.

///EDIT Done Q12.

//// Done Q10

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Q11 and Q12 are not hard to find on Google.
I'm just missing the Lineage II related question, never seen that game and i can't manage to find an easily searchable database. :(

Great puzzle, CaspianRoach! Thank you.

Have all answers but 11, which pertains to the game I feel I should know best of them all. I'm sure it'll come to me... (right?)

Edit: silly me, got it almost immediately after typing the above.

This thing has a few names.

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Why is my name of the "Union" wrong in q11? Oo
I'm sure it's right....

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

It is right but it has different names. Read the question again and think what version is needed here.

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Nahh. I'll pass on this on, some question are way to hard since I don't play MMO's. Thx for the giveaway anyway. :)

I tried every Spell/talent thingy on q4 and still I can't figure out what the hell you want from me. Please give use a hint, World of Warcraft has like 1000 spells and stuff... It's like brute forcing a number... :/

There's only about 50 warlock talents in the game, is it that hard to find the one that has something to do with healing? 30 people got it already and I doubt all of them have played warlocks or WoW.

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I tried everything that has something to do with healing, trust me... is there something like a misplaced space or a "-"?

I've never been so close to actually solve one of those Puzzle Giveaways...

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Try again. Load up the CURRENT warlock talent list and scroll through descriptions to find ANY MENTION of "heal".

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

ability != talent

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't know how do you read the questions but it says that it USED TO be an ability, back in TBC days at least. Ability=Spell. It is a talent now and in Panda it will be a glyph.

God damn it... WoW is really confusing. 6_9

Good luck.

Hi, in Q11, please tell if all words start with big letters or not etc, its hard to get it if there are 20 combinations of the same thing.

13 years ago

Upper/lower case doesn't matter in answers AFAIK.

13 years ago

One word. No, it doesn't start with T.

13 years ago

ok got it... there are 3 names for this and I was trying 2 of them - the wrong ones

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

If you think about it's the only "right" name, because the rest are in english.

Just stuck on 3,4 and 6.

-edit-
Done it :D

Lots of fun, but it's stopped working on me about 1/3 of the way in? :(

The site is having some problems. Try a few minutes later.
If you refresh, the correct answers should stay solved.

I don't like console bullshit.

The website is so damn slow, it just dies every 2nd try, have to manually reload (and wait about 5 min). Quite frustrating..

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Won't open, probably over now ._.

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

It's not over, the site is having some problems. Probably hosting issues / overload issues.

13 years ago

I'm stuck on 4 and 8 :P
Anyway thanks for this great puzzle, I'll keep trying. :)
