Since Avernum is a new nation, and Micah was the first king, the nation doesn't really have a set "tradition" of direct inheritance or any traditions to speak of. Micah was himself "elected" to be king, was he not? I doubt that there would be much stock put in the "royal line" in Avernum just yet. And that combined with their short history of near-constant difficulties and that they are now in an expansionist era would make it paramount to have a competent leader. Chevyn was obviously incompetent for the job, so there was no real chance that he would be the next king. Handily, Starrus came along, so it was accepted to start a "royal line". Once this line is several generations along and the basic infrastructure of the nation pretty much stagnant, then an incompetent royal ruler could stay in power. But not now. Not at the very outset of the nation and the potential line of rulers.

Yeah otherwise you'll wind up tracking them all down later. But don't fear too much, because it'll be pretty obvious which ones you missed, once they become useful. -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

Yeah exactly. That fight is actually pretty easy. Just another extended hack-hack fight, with occasional healing/unshackle minds. -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

Heh, forget the Avernum's "action-ready" PC picts, the Exile's PC picts were much better. The portrait/profile picts are good, but the gamescreen representations are boring. I want my black-clad swordmaster and caped warrior, my enchantress with her blood-red dress and staff, my slith wizard with his ball of blue fire...A4 has what, 8 human picts, 2 slith picts, and 2 nephil picts. Yeah yeah there is color variation, but all of them except the default are usually horrendous (er, so my enchantress can color her skin blue, purple, or green...yay...). -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

So what items, specifically, should be stockpiled for quests like the one for iron bars? Will there be someone who buys crystals for more than they sell for normally, or skins, or other metal bars besides iron? Or bunches of fairly normal items needed for miniquests like the three skins for the tanner in Formello? -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

Eh, I liked it more than most BoE scenarios. It is just plain massive, and since it is a definative work of the Exile world it is of course completely believable. There's the usual (with Jeff's scenarios) tons of extra stuff to do, a well-designed outdoors and dungeons (You never stop and go "my foot terrain is ever like this"), and a plot that you don't have to brainwash yourself to believe and track with. Also, there aren't too many places that are really annoying to complete, the main exception to that being the golem factory place. I've never been through a moving-walkway dungeon that was in the least enjoyable, and with the tendency to combine them with golems that breathe at you from a distance or start casting divine thuds and firestorms at you...Yeah, I hate those dungeons. -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

Lol, "place the explosion on the wall" reminds me of those black holes they used in old cartoons that could be carried around and placed on things to make a hole you could step (or fall) through. Now that would be a very useful item for adventurers! -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

Maybe one was replicated by magic (its own or external). Or there had been 7 broken off but one of them grew back (this would have to assume that the crystals are identical in shape and fracture since none of the seven can be useless). -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

Go find that brother (it is a good ways west), and then come back to the hut. 2. Eh...I already answered that in another current topic, titled "MoC - Giant settlement". There's a control panel, in the room right before the treasure room IIRC, that controls the door to the treasure and the portcullis to the north-eastern building. 3. Not sure, since I didn't. Only because I didn't have a shovel. I believe you contract some "Dread Curse" from it, but what that does to you and what you find in the grave I don't know.

(repeat of above post deleted) Agh I can't believe I used quote instead of edit twice in different topics. I was wondering where that extra post count had come from.

quote:Actually, they don't always have to be dangerous. In G2 (and maybe some in G3 too? Can't remember exactly) there are people who were using them and not going insane. It'd be cool to play a character who isn't driven insane by them. Though I wonder if the servile characters will be able to use them at all. So far, using a canister is fatal for a servile. But perhaps now some serviles will be re-shaped enough to take it, or canisters will be made for serviles. Hm...considering that it is about genes, it'd really need to be the canisters that are changed to accomodate serviles, not change serviles to accomodate the canisters. Otherwise, you'd have to just make the serviles into humans. -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

No, not the wand. I'm not sure what the real point to the wand is: you never actually need it, so it is more of a curiosity. What you want is the barrel of explosives. It is in the room below the quartermaster. IIRC you have to talk to the captain/commander person there first, then to the quartermaster and ask him to open the door. Then go and look at the barrel. -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

*shrug* Most of what goes on on these boards is pointless banter or answering the same old question for the hundredth time. Any questions I usually have I can find the answer to by searching. If you want to see me active on some game forums, visit the forums at www.t-o-m-e.net. Admittedly I do enjoy reading the pointless banter sometimes. Also my college used to have these forums blocked for some reason, but I requested that they un-block them and they did. -------------------- *Child of Feanor* Posts: 25 | Registered: Friday, November 7 2003 08:00 |

Just what town is this Delaria in that Scab sends me to to join Scimitar? Edit: Nevermind, just found her in the same town as he was. Lessen learned: never ignore a locked room. Huh, now that I've already rescued all the Souls I can finally find out just what Scimitar will help with. And that was...exactly nothing.
