I Wonder What The Likelihood of This Happening Is?

Seriously. The first time playing in a month or two, this happens. I feel like it's happened before, and I'm certain it's happened to one of you fine folk, but I'm certain it has a very low chance of probability of occurring.

The Dead Krug standing there as if it where alive but is dead. This happens quite often but I do not remember why it happens. iryan explained it to me once.

I was talking about the two peasant bows. As for the standing dead Krug, I don't even see one.

The double drop of items has happened to me playing a vanilla game of DS2 (without any mods at all) So it could be generic DS2 problem. It might be useful to a dual wielding melee character having matched weapons Insane

Dual wielding bows would be a funny thing to see. How about someone makes that as a joke mod?

Now that you mention it, I think the Melee dual-wielding animations would decently fit duel-wielding throwing weapons. Except, perhaps, for the upward swings.

That glitch has happened to me a time or two in DS1. I always play using the LoA shortcut, not that I think that has anything to do with it.

I mean two *peasant* bows! Think how lucky and rare that is! I feel faint...

Hi Eksevis, glad to see you've got DS1 working again on your computer/got a computer again on which DS1 works.

One of those bows must be the hard-coded drop set up so that you are certain to find the farmer a starter bow (just as you always find Fireshot - from the barrel - Zap and, from two Krugs near where the path goes down the steps, your first health and mana potions). I guess the way it is done allows those Krugs their normal random drop chances in addition.

yes, that is right. really "lucky" there to get the random drop pick of another peasant bow. i suppose this sets u up for striking the lottery too? :mrgreen:

this also reminds me of a very "lucky" encounter i had in my bw monsters improved fixed mod. i modded bone minions to have a 20% chance to spawn in the breakables of the levreth estate. i once had 3 bone minions spawn from a cluster of 3 breakables in the estate! 0.8% chance of a 3ple bone minion encounter. how "lucky" was that huh? darkelf was there. i wonder if he remembers the 3ple bone minion encounter? so we ended up fighting three! bone minions at the same time. was quite an ass whooping there... hahaha~ :mrgreen:

That's very similar to some encounters you can get with the default values in KillerGremal's content pack where mini-bosses can spawn from regular monsters.

I once got two min-bosses spawn this way in addition to a regular mini-boss in Wesrin Cross. My party was way below the levels you would get in DS2 once you reached Levreth Estate, so I was wiped out before you could even blink. That's why the feature is disabled by default in the Legendary Mod but would make an interesting mini-mod for those who crave an extra challenge.
