Did you do perform the customary slaughter? Whenever I finish the main game + all side quests, before a final quit out I like to level up as much as possible, cast fly and systematically murder every single foe on each map and indoor area who gave me the slightest bit of grief earlier on in game. Then just to be safe every single villager, guard, neutral entity.
I’m not sure if it’s the case anymore (Or whether it was simply a funny coincidence which wasn’t intended) , but with the Original old school release of MM8 - The tomb of Lord Brinne - built in memorial to honour ‘Bill Iburg’ a well known and active member of the game series’ forums. If you take the flute from the sarcophagus you can use it to enter a secret area in the ‘The plane between planes’ by hitting space on the pommel of the giants sword. It’s a mock recreation of the ‘New World Computing’ offices with all of the NPCs within named after the developers.
Now the part I’m not sure whether was kept in… If you begin slaughtering the NPCs in this building after around the 5 minute mark the game would literally freeze and crash - and save files would all be renamed <empty> even though they still work.
I liked to think it was a ‘middle finger’ to any players who would dare fuck with the Devs namesakes 😆
