Newbie needs help finding things to do in A1 demo in The Avernum Trilogy
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Sunday, June 3 2007 07:17 Profile Homepage #1 Athron has important info that you need later to complete a major game-winning quest. If you killed her, then you need to start the game over. That should keep you busy for a while. Killing Motrax is also not recommended. You will want him alive later on, to survive one of the other major quests. You can't take his treasure without making him hostile (well, not without cheating). Edit: If you're truly bored try the Avernum 2 or Avernum 3 demos. [ Sunday, June 03, 2007 07:19: Message edited by: Micawber ] -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Number for "Oozing Blade"? in Avernum 4

The Simplest Path in General
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Saturday, June 2 2007 11:24 Profile Homepage #56 quote: Originally written by Bandit Keith: Now, the math for imaginary numbers, in addition to not accomplishing anything, is based off of equations that ultimately loop around back to the beginning with no viable input other than its own equations. I know I'm late on the scene, but I just read this, and I gotta say, it really made me laugh very hard indeed. And in a topic named "the simplest path" too; the irony is just too much. I have no wish to reignite the debate, so I won't say any more. [ Saturday, June 02, 2007 11:25: Message edited by: Micawber ] -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Spiderweb in PC Gamer magazine in General
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Friday, May 25 2007 09:41 Profile Homepage #4 Most magazines are cover-dated the month after they come out, for the benefit of newsagents[] as it makes their shelves look more up to date. For example if your magazine is published 15th May, and says May on the front cover, the newsagent wouldn't want to have it around for the first 14 days of June because customers will think "that was last month's" even though it is technically still current. [] This is the British term. I realise I have no idea what the American name for a newsagent is. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Avernum 1 in The Avernum Trilogy
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Friday, May 25 2007 09:28 Profile Homepage #60 Well they're not strictly comparable, as Adze-Haakai is a single big battle, whilst Sss-Thsss is more a test of stamina. But certainly I always deal with the sliths before the demons, as it helps to have leveled up a bit more (and the slith fights are good for providing xp). -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

They never were links, I don't think you should describe them as broken. A "broken link" is one that doesn't take you where it's supposed to.

Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Saturday, May 12 2007 12:14 Profile Homepage #14 I didn't like not having haste. Money is really not a problem in Exile/Avernum, but the need to waste AP taking potions in combat really hurts. Edit: In fact in practice I would rather fight unhasted, and then everything takes twice as long.

Reputation Cheat in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Saturday, May 12 2007 11:24 Profile Homepage #2 It's flag (100,0). Values over 100 are pro-shaper, values less than 100 are pro-rebel. To get the most pro-shaper/rebel options I think you need to be about 125/75 but check the scripts, like Slarty said.

Place Your Bets in Avernum 4
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Saturday, May 12 2007 11:10 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by Spidweb: Forcing the player to start as the Anama would be a horrible error. It's a cool option (and yes, you can become Anama) I figured that was how it would go down, but I am pleased to hear you confirm it. I felt joining the Anama added an extra layer of replayability to Exile 3, very good to see it repeated in Avernum 5. Don't make it too easy to play without mage spells though, the player should definitely feel the pinch or else it's a waste of a cool idea. I agree with the other stuff, too.
