I like your favorites list overall. Ratatouille was quite good, too. I would really like to see Golden Compass, although its reviews haven't left me too optimistic. Loved the book though. This should be a poll, in my opinion. I needn't mention what would win "Worst Movie..." :rolleyes: -------------------- Love is the movement. ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

Like Thuryl, I have found most bosses to be significantly easier in melee, such as Matala and the Titan, as well as the Corrupted Unbound of course. I would suggest cornering it with rotghroths if you're a shaper, although I haven't tried that myself (I played a servile when I beat it). Then you're just dealing with bites, instead of Uber Death Breath. -------------------- Love is the movement. ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

quote:Hear, hear! The first time I tried N:R as a singleton, and didn't really get into it since I was so used to the Geneforge engine. But after playing BoA for a while, I started over with a full Celtic party. Given my fascination with Celtic history, druids particularly, I was instantly captivated with both the story and the gameplay itself. -------------------- Love is the movement. ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

Drayks are great buddies in any Geneforge game. However, early-series vlish and G4 wingbolts are fabulous. I still vote for Fire. ![]() :D [ Wednesday, January 23, 2008 18:33: Message edited by: Taliesin ] -------------------- Love is the movement. ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

He has registered now and will have done so eventually, at which time he shall retroactively cause himself to have joined at this most auspicious moment.

You can still use some canisters, thus enabling the creation of drayks, drakons, whatever you like to a certain extent. That's the whole point of this topic. Interestingly enough, drayks are available to loyalists before anyone else in G2. From a trainer, of course. :D -------------------- Love is the movement. ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

ET: Love the youtube links, especially that French song. Sounds like something out of Ben-Hur... --------- I must agree with Tyranicus on this one, although G2 and G3 are excellent, too. The A2 music is good, but the picture really calls for something more aggressive. -------------------- "Standing on the rooftops, Everybody scream your heart out." ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

Actually, that doesn't sound too bad. Geneforge could be a quite decent movie, I think. Or series of movies. -------------------- "Standing on the rooftops, Everybody scream your heart out." ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

Before he fell unconscious, Taliesin threw all his remaining strength into a shielding charm. A wall of magic seared forth, clashing with Ahonar's brutal bolt. Alyssa fell to the ground, unhurt but very shaken. One glance at Taliesin told her that they were facing a power no man could fight, so she made her choice. Alyssa crawled to where Taliesin lay. Ahonar saw, but did not care. He only cared about the Glass Onion. She spoke a few words, and both druids vanished. As she healed Taliesin's wounds in the forest, she wondered why they had ever been summoned at all. They had made no difference. How could they? What the gods said, was. No mortal can defy them and live. When Taliesin woke, he agreed. "It is time to go home, love," he whispered. And so they did. -------------------- "Standing on the rooftops, Everybody scream your heart out." ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |

quote:I figured that, when taking human form, Ahonar could be subject to a very brief spell of unconsciousness - I mean, a bear paw blow like that would kill a mortal. And both my characters are shapeshifters. It comes from being very attuned to nature, as all druids are. Ahonar will wake up very soon, and very angry. I don't pretend that that whack would hurt him much anyway. Should I change something?

Two sleek gray wolves bounded into the Chapel of Fallen Might, smoothly shifting into human form as they stopped. "Finally," panted Taliesin. "It took long enough to catch up with everyone." ... FLASHBACK: Taliesin and Alyssa were almost to Manarina. As they neared the end of the boat journey, the craft sprang a leak, and they had to put to shore immediately. Neil handed Taliesin a map, and wished him luck as Taliesin and Alyssa set off on their own. Since they had to make so much of the journey on foot, they arrived much later than the other adventurers, and had to follow many clues. Eventually, they traced the quest to the Chapel of Fallen Might. ... AS WE WERE SAYING: A monk greeted them humbly. "Welcome to the Chapel of Fallen Might. Have you come to make an offering to Nalyd?" "No," answered Taliesin frankly. The monk nodded. There was an awkward silence. Suddenly strange echoes became audible to Taliesin's sharp ears. "What is going on here?" The monk said he did not know, "but feel free to investigate for yourself." He shuffled away silently. "Caught your breath yet, Alyssa?" said Taliesin softly. "Oh, yes, dear. I feel fine now." "I believe we are near the end of our quest. Although we have not done much, we may make a difference yet." They kissed once, then both transformed to wolf form and dashed down the corridors. Soon, they had arrived at the chamber of the Onion. Taliesin froze as he realized who stood just ten feet in front of him - Ahonar himself, trying to coax the Onion from a drunk-looking fat old man. He probably didn't have it, but risks weren't worth taking now. Taliesin quietly shifted into bear form as he drew to full height behind the oblivious Ahonar, who was too outraged at the fat man's obscenities to listen carefully. Concentrating all his strength, Taliesin swung his heavy paw at the back of Ahonar's head. Ahonar dropped like a stone. What a humiliating experience for a god it must be. All-but-immune to just about anything, and brute force knocks him out cold! But Taliesin knew it would only last a few minutes. Vlad looked dumbstruck. He stared at the huge bear, and his eyes only got bigger as it changed into a strangely dressed man. Then a young woman stepped out and hugged the man, and Vlad's eyes got even bigger. I love adventures, he thought. You meet so many hot girls out in the middle of nowhere. Too bad this one's taken. Taliesin read Vlad's thoughts in his eyes, and knocked him out too. -------------------- "Standing on the rooftops, Everybody scream your heart out." ---- My poetry Posts: 432 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2007 07:00 |
