No, I did a text search of Avernum 1-4 and found no mentions of Barton.

In the real world however, there are at least 25 places called Barton.

Used to use Windows, then Linux, now back to Windows again. I've invested too much time in Windows now to want to switch to another system again. But I always keep cygwin and emacs installed, because they are so much more convenient than relying solely on windows-ware.

Crafting Item list? in Avernum 4
Agent
Member # 2759

Schrodinger's FAQ has a list of the available recipes. I've also included the main ones in the Avernum 4 Gazetteer (this includes the wand recipes, which are missing from Schro's list).

The main things to hold on to are fine steel, fine leather, focusing crystals, and all herbs. You occasionally also need gold and gems/crystals.

Edit: D'oh, beaten to the post.

If you have been marked by the crystal in the Fort Draco mines, then a secret wall should open up in the Motrax caves. This is in the north eastern corner of the main, upper level (not underground). As you walk round the northeastern perimeter of this area, a message pops up and part of the cave wall disappears. Walk through and talk to the crystal, it will give you a message to take to the Castle.

Don't worry about leather, there is lots more fine leather later in the game.

Well, none of the Spiderweb games is particularly challenging unregistered. I suppose you could try and complete the testing in GF3 without registering, those golems are fairly tough, and you're not supposed to be able to handle them that early, but there's nothing to stop you from trying.

Edit: Oh right, GF doesn't work on your computer. Shame.

Aran, Geneforge 4 is not at all a Geneforge travesty. It's nothing like GF2 and GF3, it's a good game.

A3: Finding Judith in The Avernum Trilogy
Agent
Member # 2759
Profile Homepage #2
Like many other characters in Avernum 3, Judith is on a 3 day cycle. I.e. she spends days whose number is of the form 3n in one town, moves to another town on days numbered 3n+1, and moves to a third town on days numbered 3n+2. The three towns in question are Hectar, Shayder and Bavner. But not necessarily in that order.

The easiest ways to find her are either (i) visit all three towns on the same day, or (ii) visit one town and if she's not there, go outside and rest until a new day, then go back inside, if she's still not there go outside and rest once more.

Seconded. The cathedral is beautiful. Nice one Ephesos.

Edit: 2 minor observations. (i) I decided not to free the ghosts. After I repaired the machine, it wasn't 100% clear that the scenario was over. Maybe you could add a dialogue option for Father Richardson, like "do you need me to do anything else?" "go home, your work here is done". (ii) The Dervish doesn't give any reason for arresting you, I only found out why by reading the scripts. Perhaps you could add a tiny bit more explanation to this ending. I would have been more satisfied if there had been a little text like "The indictment is a trumped up charge, clearly a cover for your real, unspoken offence. The Dervish must have objected to your actions for reasons which he's not prepared to reveal..."

The first time you play the game you don't know the geography, and you can take a long time exploring and trying to find out the place you want ("was that place west or north of Lorelei?"). My first game of Exile 3, I finished on day 497. I remember I didn't even discover Golddale until after I had already met Baziron and destroyed three Golem spires. Plus, I kept losing my horses in the forests.

Needless to say this was before I discovered the valorim deluxe map, which is one of my favourite things EVER.

It always reminds me of that picture of the PC in flames, from the Barzite ending in GF2. There seems to be some deep connection between shapers and inflammability.

Hmmm... they've always been there for me. Maybe they are on a three day cycle?

Edit: Why did you use the character editor anyhow? If you can defeat the golems, surely you can manage a couple of demons?

They don't; they're immune to magic.

In Exile 2, doomguards are susceptible to basilisks.
