Not a Bug Stuck in the Speighstown dungeon exit.

I seem to have a knack for getting stuck in one way or another. This time it's physical. :)

Going from the Speighstown dungeon to the Abbey of Maltese order is no problem at all but when I try to go the other direction I always get stuck. I can go through the opening but on the dungeon side, no matter how much I run I don't get anywhere.

I can turn around and go back to the Abbey and exit to the town so I'm not completely stuck but it would be nice to backtrack.

And now when I wrote this I thought of, tried and found a way to get around it. Enabling sidestep and then walking sideways will get me unstuck. :) So it seems there is something physical blocking the path there.

Build 14 Beta 3.1 Full: 6 Dec 2013
Savegame Compatibility: 14.891

The save game is from right before I step through the exit.

Hi Panopticon,
I have found that you need to treat some of these openings as doors - i.e. hit the open key (spacebar) a number of times when you get close to the exit and it seems to then take me through - this is necessary when going between levels in the crypt.:read
 
I'm not sure you can walk from the Maltese Knight Dungeon back to the Speightstown Dungeon.
But you can get out of it some other way; you'll end up in Bridgetown instead.
 
So can someone confirm there is a bug here or is this intentional?
 
It has been a long time since I last went in there. :8q As I recall once you go in, there is no turning back. There is no cowards way out and it is do or die.:duel: As I recall I used over 300 grenades and never cleaned the place completely out.:rumgone
 
As I said in the first post, I can go back. But when I walk through the "portal", i get stuck on the other side. As in physically stuck. I can see everything in that room, including two(?) bogeys, I can run, I can turn around but no matter what I do, I can't get anywhere, except going back to the abbey again. Unless I enable sidestepping and walk sideways THROUGH what ever it is that is blocking the path.

If that is intentional some programmer have a very strange sense of humour. :)

You can always check with the save game up there *points* if you want. The same thing happened every time I tried it. That was how I tested the sidestep trick.
 
I do believe not being able to return from the Maltese Knight Abbey into the Speightstown Dungeon was intentional.
And yes, @CouchcaptainCharles had a VERY weird sense of humour. But a GREAT one too! :bow
