Special Items

[Puke]

Some of the descriptions are pretty obscure. Theres a handfull of sci-fi and wierd-fiction references that many people just wont get.

I find myself wondering how things interact, and sometimes wonder if im barking up the wrong tree.

for instance, do items have any impact on events? If i have a special item or creature with me when I see space whales or discover R'yleth, will something else happen?

If not (and events are just static sources of exploration points), I dont really want to waste my time trying to travel from system to system with different combinations of things, hoping to hit the right event at the right time.

otherwise, i dont really mind experimenting. of course, im just experimenting with the demo, because my download woes are continueing.
