is there any possible way to fix that? Yes, I do have a save before it happened, but I was wondering if there's a way to fix it. Seeing as I haven't been in the loop in a long time, I don't remember there being a solution back in the day.

Matthias, I have never even HEARD of this problem before...

I'll ask around and see if I can find out anything, but if anyone else has a solution, jump in!

it usually happens when you become encumbered, lol

when I play as a fighter, I usually encumber myself (in the other games anyway) and do strenuous tasks such as working out and even just running around and my strength tends to rise rapidly.

However, this is one reason I can't do this in QG1 and the second reason is that if you don't have any stamina and you're in battle, you automatically die, because this saps your stamina like none other.
