Yes, and it is a good mindset to have.

Personally I have not played the rogue class as I was focusing testing on other classes. And after a while of playing the game over and over again, one ends up repeating the same actions anyway, and eventually the game needs a set of fresh eyes to find more bugs.

Sorry some slipped through, but it does unfortunately happen. We did try to make the game as polished as we could.

We probably allowed the gold sword to be used for flexibility. And it is kind of magic, but it isn't very good for fighting either

Anyway, I will do some testing tonight to see if I can replicate Crom's issue (it may come down to the fact that we didn't expect anyone to enter the guild BEFORE their things were robbed, and I am unsure why it would occur after his things got robbed given it hasn't consistently replicated across other people's games for this class).

So I've tested a little and this is what I note:

- As a thief, you can only pry the barrel door open if the cupboard door is open. If you don't have it open, the game won't let you pry the door open with the sword, let alone give you a hint about leverage.

- The game plays out OK if I go to the thieve's lodge before I'm robbed, so that scenario was taken into consideration by the programmer.

- I am unable to replicate your issue of not having enough time to do anything. On the fastest speed setting I had 4 seconds. I use 'J' key for jump, and I click the cursor a bit lower down the screen. I'm not sure what you're doing, but if you're doing similarly and it's not working, I wouldn't mind a saved game to have a look. (And I just tested, and placement of cursor should not matter).

For the record, when you get robbed, it does call it the Thieves Lodge several times, so I would presume that is the hint for solving the letter puzzle.

In any event, is it possible that by prying it open, you're accidently triggering the Warrior's version of the Lodge? If that's even a thing, I suppose. Try using the hand icon on yourself and see what happens?

Otherwise all I could conclude is that prying it open as a Rogue is bugging the game out. Reload to before descending the barrel, solve it the Rogue way (use the letters puzzle to open it) and then see if it'll play out differently.

I went through with a Rogue on a quickie run, and I did find I had plenty of time to jump away as well. I went up to the menu, clicked on the action button, selected Jumping and then clicked away. So even without the keyboard shortcut it was plenty possible.

With the last trigger, make sure you're clicking the right drawer?

If you're playing v1.1, the Norns should have prevented you from entering Svartalfheim if your things were stolen. Please let us know if this isn't the case.

If you avoided having your belongings stolen in the first place, then no, you don't need to visit the Thieves' Guild.

Either way, you shouldn't be up against any game stoppers (and going into the Thieves' Guild isn't going to help rescue Kraka).

If you weren't able to solve the LODGE puzzle then I'm afraid you simply were not paying attention. Here are two of the ingame hints - from the only two letter objects that give long descriptions, no less:

"An ornate latch in the shape of a letter F is set on the cupboard door; you believe the drawers have handles that look like other letters. You think there are a lot of letters here, but you would probably need only half of them."

"Drawn in soot upon the bottom of the lamp is the letter D. You think the password here should be something very straightforward; what is it you're looking for again?"

Whenever you ask just about any NPC in town about the thief who robbed you, they will mention the Thieves' Lodge.

Which means you're looking for the Thieves' Lodge.

Ergo LODGE.

Yeah, you're carrying the unstable ordnance. Don't do that.

×Put it back where you found it, i.e. in Sigrun's shop. This is an in-joke from Space Quest IV, by the way.
