Well, that just shows how inconsistent Jeff has been. One minute it's a quick, easy journey the next minute it's a long walk that takes several weeks. One minute Terrestia is the wilder and less settled of two continents, the next it's the seat of power of the Shaper Council.

Where will G5 be? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Saturday, April 7 2007 00:29 Profile Homepage #32 Not necessarily. Why should both continents have a capital? They're both part of the same state. In the real world, continents have more than one state and more than one capital. With GF, we already have to make a leap of faith to assume that not just one, but two entire continents are part of a single state. It's not much of a further stretch to suppose that there is a single seat of power across the two continents. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Friday, April 6 2007 22:00 Profile Homepage #29 I think we can take it as a given that demons and spirits and whatnot have their own realm. Being two continents doesn't mean that you need to travel by boat between them. For instance they could be separated by mountains or by a narrow peninsular. Either way you could walk between them. GF2 is not particularly conclusive, it really just refers to a walk that takes several weeks: -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Song from exile One in The Exile Trilogy
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Friday, April 6 2007 20:53 Profile Homepage #11 No, it's the old 1995/96/97 versions that used to feature music. The exile games have been musicless at least since I purchased them (I think it was 2000). Edit: to clarify, I think I purchased the trilogy in 2000, about a year after first playing E2 on a friend's iMac. I suspect in fact Exile trilogy has been musicless even longer, maybe since the release of E3 in 1997?

A3 help? in The Avernum Trilogy
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Thursday, April 5 2007 23:14 Profile Homepage #4 One of the things I love about Avernum 3 is its comparative non-linearity. Unfortunately you seem to have found one of the disadvantages. However: If you buy horses, you can outrun your pursuers because you move twice as fast as they do. At some point near the beginning of the game, Anaximander gives you the jewel of returning, which takes you immediately to Fort Emergence (without passing go). As Alorael said, it's possible to flee during combat (walk your characters to the bottom of the zone) and avoid an outdoors fights. You might use create illusions to create a shield, covering your back. Also, the number of trogs you fight is slightly random, return to town, reload and see if there are fewer of them this time, which will improve your survival chances. You may find it possible to win the fight even without the character editor, if you change tactics a bit. What spells do you have? Haste and bless all your characters. Try casting terror on the trogs, you might make them run away. If that doesn't work try bind foe, slow or forcecage, which will temporarily disable them. Use create illusions, which will provide a distraction for the trogs. If there is one trog that does you a lot of damage (probably a spellcaster) focus your initial efforts on that; if you are able to terrorize or kill a spellcaster before it summons allies and hits you with fireblast, etc that can transform a fight. Edit; apostrophitis. [ Thursday, April 05, 2007 23:17: Message edited by: Micawber ] -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Problems with Help the Rebels quest. in Geneforge Series
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Monday, April 2 2007 12:15 Profile Homepage #4 It's quite simple. Scenario 1) You want to help the rebels. So give Lankan his canister already! Scenario 2) You want to help the Shapers. Ignore that filthy rebels, instead go destroy the creator, leave Harmony Isle and don't return until you have visited Shaper Danell, who will take the canister off you, you can then go back to Lankan if you desire. There is absolutely no need to go anywhere near the rebels if you want to follow the shaper route. Just attend to Diwaniya's instructions. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.
