I suspect people who have finished everything except E1-3, or everything except A1-3, would be common. While I mostly enjoyed the Avernum remakes, I could never stay interested long enough to finish them. (On the other hand, playing half of A2 did inspire me to play through E2 again...) -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
Maximizing Skill Point Investment in Avernum 4
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Tuesday, May 9 2006 03:55 Profile Homepage #12 Every point of gymnastics (unless you buy a whole bunch manually, which is expensive and not worth it anyway) gives you a 5% bonus to dodge. EVERYTHING. That's nothing to laugh at all. The pole bonus is nice, but nephils get an equivalent bonus to bows and throws. Bows are good for everyone in A4, melee fighters included. They have no drawbacks and drastically increase your tactical options. On the other hand, on higher difficulty levels, enemies have so much HP it will take numerous attacks to kill them whether or not you have a few extra points of weapon skill. At that point the key to taking down your enemies actually becomes minimizing the damage they do to you. Dodging ability is critical, especially for someone who will be in the front lines. Having unlimited, good range attacks is also important. Finally, don't be so quick to judge Quick Action as providing a huge advantage to melee/poles over bows. 2 bonus points to AP -- easy to come by once you hit the second half of the game -- mean that an archer gets two shots to the enemy of his choice EVERY round. A pole fighter with 10 AP will frequently either not get two attacks because he has to move, or will get two attacks against an enemy he cares less about killing, because it's the one that's next to him. If you just want the "best" from a pure gameplay perspective, there is no reason to play humans or sliths in A4. Open and shut case. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

"Terror's Marlenny" contest in General

Who can produce the best spliced, morphed, posered, or otherwise altered image that does justice to my current PDN? There are a number of threads here that should provide some good source material. (Unfortunately, "nude pictures of Marlenny" is not one of them :P ) The winner wins the prize of his or her (or, as the case may be, His and Her) choice from the last contest, since we never gave any of them out. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Question 3: Disease in General
Slarty Raven v.

If it had been in their interests to kill us, we'd all be dead. Good points. But this hasn't changed, has it? Don't diseases still need us as hosts? So are we really in danger of dying from disease? I don't mean that question seriously, really, but it does follow from your arguments. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Saturday, May 6 2006 11:26 Profile Homepage #0 Vahnatai Creationism has gone too far. The original proposition, that Vahnatai had created other intelligent species -- aranea, troglodytes, and even humans -- was bad enough. Now we must also contend with "Vahnatai Creationism with a Twist" which teaches the further mistruth that the Vahnatai are in some way related to the Shapers, and that the worlds of Exile and Geneforge are one and the same. Enough, I say! This new Twisted denomination is an abomination to science, just as the original Roman Celtic denomination was. Therefore, taking inspiration from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I hereby announce the formation of the Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow. The Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow holds that all life, including humans, vahnatai, drakons, Jeff Vogel, and Richard White was in fact created by the giant, divine, omnipotent Nine-Headed Cave Cow, in His and Her infinite wisdom (what made you think a nine-headed divinity would only have one set of genitalia?). Bovingelicals, as followers of the church are called, believe that all magical and essence-based augmentation is simply the expression of His and Her will. In contrast to other religious groups, the Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow believes in a process known as hamsubstantiation in which the body of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow is barbequed and transmitted to our plane of existence for consumption by His and Her worshippers. Furthermore, the Nine-Headed Cave Cow has proclaimed a doctrine of loving kineness for His and Her followers, as famously stated by the proverb: "Sooner may a cattle pass through the eye of a needle, than may a rich man enter the Kingdom of Heifer." These mooving teachings are collectively known as His and Herd Mentality. Although bovingelicals supports freedom of religion, within the Church, hetero-oxy is not tolerated. Members of the Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow demand that our teachings, which are just as believable as Vahnatai Creationism, receive equal time in classrooms, web pages, and pointless forum posts as other theories. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Saturday, May 6 2006 08:48 Profile Homepage #128 But canisters don't actually give you access to more essence. They basically rewrite part of your biology. Ditto with the geneforge. They use essence to achieve these effects, but the effects are not the same thing as the essence; the effects are not a direct use of that essence, they are the something that can be done as a result of what the essence does. Regardless, shaping ability obviously doesn't depend on canister or geneforge use. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
How would you deal with an acquainted killer? in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Saturday, May 6 2006 07:27 Profile Homepage #26 quote: Originally written by The Worst Man Ever: For every war veteran who goes crazy and kills a small family, loses his grip on reality and pitches his hopes to the race, the dice, or the bottle, or simply refuses to go on - there are hundreds, maybe a thousand more who live out quiet lives as if nothing ever happened, who go from firing blindly into shattered buildings to unwilling to run a red light. War is hell, but it's a buttoned-off kind of hell you can walk into and out of. That's a spurious argument, Alec. Very few war veterans go crazy and kill people, but very few live out their lives "as if nothing ever happened," either. Most are in the middle. It's true that many war veterans do not suffer debilitating effects in the long term. But many do. PTSD is very real. War trauma really ought to be taken seriously. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
