Ok thanks for that, I might go onto #2. Or restart #1, depends on how I feel. I was really enjoying it.

At least back then, it was obvious to everyone, and I don't think the designers were trying to trick anyone into a dead end.
It wasn't like that. I went to the healer's hut at the start, talked to her and grabbed some potions, then went back hours later and found out it was locked. There was no indication she would shaft me.

Also, Sierra has a limit of about 10 saves, and I save every couple of minutes. To make room for more I had to delete my early saves.

If anyone has a mid-game save for a magic user that would be great. That may be wishful thinking though
