I just encountered it in a sixth housh base to the southeast of red mountain, and I wanna know what does it do?

Nothing. The game designers probably put it in with the idea of making it part of quest but either forgot about it or ran out of room.

seems like they've done that a lot in this game.

they have just done an incredible amount in the game and practiccaly nothing they have put in has no purpose. it all has been interwoven into different quests and bah they've just done a friggen awesome job

yes. don't worry if you encounter these problems in the game. it happens with big RPGs.

I have been wondering what the Pool of Forgetfullness does myself, and I just got an idea. What if it used to be named something else, but they forgot to make the quest for it, then on the last day before shipping, one of the developers remembered it, then quickly renamed it what it is.

You can't do that .

NECRO!!!!!

Well, maybe not the day before shipping, but I could see that happening to some extent.

NECRO!!!!!

Necro would be like what?

Necroposting is when you bring back a dead thread and don't contribute anything that could promote further discussion. In this case, Reaper69 offered a theory on the Pool of Forgetfulness.

Davedemon is right. Bumping this thread just to say "I'll try find the Pool of Forgetfulness myself!" is necroposting. There's just not a lot you can do with it.

However, I'd like to caution you against throwing the accusation around. Depending on how it's used, it can be construed as spamming or flaming, and I don't like either.

Sorry to irritate you, Eve, but I hate resurrected threads. If there was something worthwhile to add to a thread, someone would have posted such long ago. If there's a new idea, it would probably be in its own thread, as the old thread would have been forgotten. I'm sure you have your pet peeves. I do too, and necroing is one of them. (People clipping their fingernails in public is another one.) But I don't see how I can be accused of spamming or flaming. Flaming would imply I'd made some sort of disparaging remarks about the one who resurrected the thread, which I have not. Spamming might be closer to it, but I'd think my post could be considered a short and simple (if capitalized for effect) announcement of personal opinion rather than a random mindless post one would normally refer to as 'spam'. You may also note that, while I showed my dislike of the fact the the thread was resurrected, I continued to further the discussion since it had been renewed. I think I'm well within my rights, according to the forum rules. Am I mistaken?

You want to continue this conversation, that's fine, we can do it in a PM. This is not the place for it.

As for this thread, my judgment stands: I have no problem with this thread being bumped, so back on topic.

and now theres a *big akward silence* which i have now ruined sorry ...

No, I've given my view. I think the conversation is pretty much over.

But as for the topic, unless someone has something else to add to this subject, (The pool of forgetfulness ) I think it can now be allowed to sink back to the mires of old threads it was brought from.
