Hi, everyone--I recently got set up with DOSBox and have started playing CoDS using a party that I've played with for a while using WizGold. Everyone's around level 17, and about to head to the Rattkin Ruins. My question is, now that I'm playing the original; will diplomacy be a factor even though I got to this point under Gold? I can't remember if in the original I have to truce with the Rattkin to deal with them, whereas in Gold I was always able to talk to any fixed NPCs without having to make peace with them... if so I've got to do some more leveling to build up diplomacy because I've completely ignored it up to this point. Has anyone else experimented by switching between the two versions? Thanks for any input!
