TOPICAL TIPS (no its not Gardeners' Question Time) It is always helpful to draw a map as you explore and you should also EXAMINE any objects that come your way. If they look like they could be useful you should GET them but remember they do weigh a certain amount each and you will only be able to carry a certain weight and number of objects. You will be told if you cannot carry any more and the simplest way around this is to give your excess objects to Mountain Man i.e. GIVE THE SWORD TO MOUNT and to retrieve an object from Mountain Man you just type GET SWORD FROM MOUNT. If on your first time playing you get Mountain Man to tell you his story i.e. SAY TO MOUNT "TELL ME A STORY" you will notice he disappears from the scene very quickly afterwards, use the command FOLLO MOUNT to discover where it is he is gone to and the opposite also applies i.e. SAY TO MOUNT "FOLLO ME". It is a good idea to get him to tag along with you from very early on in the game as there are some situations that you will not be able to handle on your own.
