Running the Steam+Vista 64-bit version of 1.08, with the hotfix and Realm of the Diggle Gods installed: - All of the tutorials show up in the list twice. Completing one version of a tutorial does not gold-star the other. Gold stars earned on the second instance of the tutorial disappear after closing and reopening the game. - Starting with the Combat Skills tutorial, the Hero's build is the first seven skills in the standard list -- Swords, Axes, Maces, Staves, Archery, Thrown Weaponry, and Unarmed Combat. This is even true in tutorials where he "should" have other skills selected and/or leveled-up: Axes lv. 4 for the Combat Skills tutorial, Mathemagic lv. 4 + Psionics lv. 4 for the Magic tutorial, Viking Wizardry for the Buffs tutorial, and not having Maces in the Equipment tutorial. - Related to the above, the Hero also gets the starting equipment for his build, even when it would obviate some of the tasks in the tutorial -- namely, with a Wooden Sword, Leather Cuirass, and Hachimaki equipped, the other starting weapons in inventory, and some Wooden Bolts, Poison Ampoule Bolts, Dwarven Boomerangs, and Poison Flasks in the hotbar, begging the question of why half the tutorials send you scrounging for equipment when you have comparable items available from turn 1. This also allows completion of the Potions tutorial without taking damage -- nothing wrong with that, per se, but the game tells you to drink (read: waste) the healing potion anyway. - Alternating plays of various Tutorials with starting new games appears to disable Permadeath at random.
The permadeath issue is not linked to tutorials. I ve had it turned off randomly and I havent tried a single tutorial in 1.08
On Mac 10.6.8 using Steam, I see all of the same problems, and some more: When I get to the "alchemy" tutorial, no new tutorial advice comes up after I pick up or use the alchemy box. If I try to fiddle around blindly with the alchemy box (e.g. by putting a reagent in what looks like a slot), DoD crashes! I've attached a text file with the crash log.
I'm having all the same issues. In addition, I don't think I can see every tutorial (the alchemy tutorial mentioned here isn't in my game, and I believe there may be others but have not been able to find a master list), and the "Resistances" tutorial seems glitched in that the monster they throw against you is too powerful for the character even with the ring, and I've died every time.
