What he said. For me, none of the recent Spiderweb games installed straight from the CD under Vista. However, as I hate autoplay and prefer to browse to the install.exe file on the CD anyway, this didn't worry me. Browsing to D:\Install.exe on my GF4 cd worked fine. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

Good heavens, so you do. My mistake. Edit: How sneaky to change this - it is explained in the PDF instructions, but nowhere in the game itself.

No, you don't. You can make a cryoa with fire shaping level 1, a cryodrayk with fire shaping level 2, etc. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

I assume you are talking about your save games; therefore system restore won't help at all (it doesn't backup the entire file system, just the operating system components). Unless you actively took steps to back them up, they are gone forever. But - this is a perfect excuse to play all the games again. Rejoice! -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

I don't know, not having got that far in the game, but I guess the 2% bonus is probably a reward for a quest to bring somebody cake. In GF3 there was definitely a quest to bring somebody cake, and it's the same writer, so... -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

He's in the southwest quadrant, in a stone building next opposite the merchants (who all live in wooden buildings). If you enter Zhass-Uss from the west, it's the second building on your right.

They're in Rocky Point. From Dillame, go west one zone (to Dillame Fields), north one zone (North Illya Woods to) and then east one zone (to arrive in Rocky Point). Edit: If you go back to Rocky Point and you've definitely cleared the area, just try every conversational option with Lilly, including asking for the quest again (sometimes that's the only way to access the dialogue).

Oh of course - this reminds me why I never use the keyboard in Avernum.

Spiders? Faint gray symbol? Sounds like you are webbed. To take it off, hit the 'Wait a Turn' button a few times. Unless in you're in combat, in which case you hit the 'Defend' button a few rounds until it goes away. Addendum: In future, avoid walking through the webs.
