Dikiyoba, I could marry you. If I wasn't already marrying Aran. And Nico (but that one's a secret ;) ) FedEx me the defib, please. Oh, and... quote:DRAKEY!! Please, please, ban him! And his children!

I don't think I've ever played a Guardian. Magic users are my favourite class of RPG characters, and so I naturally gravitate away from melee fighters. As for Agent vs Shaper, the Shaper has the potential to be as good as an Agent in terms of magic, whilst also being able to spawn up huge armies. I usually play a Shaper. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

As a band of Celts though, I find that the extra party member isn't that useful at all. The Romans need the extra character to make spells a viable option, but the Celts can mix melee with magic quite effectively already. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

He gives you a quest later on, to remove a gremlin from his storeroom. It's no biggy, and the reward isn't fantastic, so you can just go on about your business without worrying. Edit: It's a gremlin not a goblin. [ Thursday, May 25, 2006 04:46: Message edited by: Last Flowers xx ] -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

Spain, despite having one of the best teams on paper, will sell themselves short again, and won't even reach the second round. England will get to the quarters, and we'll all cry and mope, because we think we're great. We aren't. Beckham is second-rate, Rooney is only good because of the hype, and Gerrard is burnt out. Germany and Italy have a good chance to get far, and the advantage of being at home is a huge boost for the Germans. But, seriously, the finals? I don't see it. My guess is Argentina vs Brazil. No idea of score, although it'd be a good game. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

I play badminton every Wednesday evening, with my special Japanese Anime jumps. I also walk to college everyday (about 3 miles there and back). As well as that, I make the 5 mile trip to my girlfriend's house at least once a week on foot. Othertimes, I'll catch the bus. Oh, and I play Footbal Manager as well :P This summer, I want to learn how to swim properly as well - anything more than 10m will be a personal best. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

Fyora's are good, and I do always keep one (called Toby) around. But Cryoadrayks, and thus Drayks, rock. GF1 is the best game, 'cus it was new and spangly. And Shapers are my favourite class. Good at magic and shaping, with high leadership and mechanics. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

I did for Geneforge X, but haven't for Avernum 4 so far. I don't know why (although not knowing the codes may help). I haven't even tried. Divine Restoration heals me enough so I don't have to go back to town, and I'm getting very good at reserving spell points. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

Well, I'm nearing the end-game now, so I'll pass a judgement. Avernum 4 ISN'T Jeff's best game. The combat is better than I'd imagined, and was fun at some points. But it wasn't the be-all-and-end-all some members have said. Archers and ranged enemies were to easily fooled. There was too much hacking and slashing my way through dungeons, and I'm sure I could cast Lightning Spray in my sleep... As far as spells go, there was a good mix. Divine Restoration was nicer than A1-3's, and Arcane Shield was quite useful. In fact, I found myself using the top three mage and priest spells much more than I did previously. Summoning still sucked - and now that we only get one ally for our Mana, there really wasn't any point to it. Spray Acid was nice, but t felt cheap just pummelling golems with it. The story was basically A3-2. Rentar wasn't as bad as I thought she'd be - and I liked how I had to chase her around. The trap that she sets you West of the ToM was nice - it showed she wasn't just lording it up and was active. The shades could've been handled better - destroying them seemed a little bit too easy and unfun. And the Darkside Loyalists should've been taken further - here's hoping Dorikas makes a more prominent appearance in A5. The interface was nice, and not too much of a problem. I didn't like having to quicksave an Avernum game (hitting CTRL+S took too long to do though) at first, and the loss of the outdoors jarred a little, but otherwise it was enjoyable. The honeycomb actually was a maze, and caves actually went up and down in level). The graphics were okay, but at one or two points, I'd think to myself "Eek, a cryoadrayk", and then realise it was actually a drake. The introduction of pylons was okay, but they should've had the same range as me. The main issue for me was that Solberg was chucked into a minor, unimportant role, and that Cheeseball wasn't present. Overall, I'm looking forward to going back to play BoA and Av2, but I do hold out some hope for A5. If plot is worked on, and drakes go back to looking like drakes, then I'll be a very happy chappy.
