Sorry, had to delete the old topic. If you ever find a site like that, send the info to Jeff rather than post it here. He may actually be able to do something about it.

The demo ends once you get to cross the bridge. If you downloaded it from the ftp site listed in the email, you're probably OK. It's likely that your game is fine, and you'll probably get the CD shortly if not anyway.

Based on the scripts in Geneforge, this is very easy to do (and is done very often, as well). I see no reason why it wouldn't work in BoA.

Many examples can be found in the geneforge scripts- tests of leadership skill, mechanics skill, intelligence, among others.

I give all of my players the berzerk trait. It doesn't seem to hurt much, and it has some nice benefits. This is especially true if I'm going to be investing in the berzerk skill.

Nethergate's Popularity in Nethergate
FAQSELF
Member # 3
Profile #8
I really like Nethergate, for many of the reasons stated here. It has many elements of a great game. The storyline is fascinating, and having two views of the game is original. You can find some interesting secrets even if you do keep playing (I found some mystical pants in Castle Aethdoc after my third or fourth play-through).

That said, there are still some significant engine problems- spell circles aren't balanced, stats aren't balanced (take a look at the uselessness of the endurance stat), there are few high-level, challenging monsters to hunt and kill, the most powerful spells in the game aren't very useful, there are 25 or so areas on the map, compare this to Avernum's 70 or so, and there are a few minor bugs that just don't make the game stand out as a shining jewel.

You may want to try redownloading the game. Files can get corrupted in transit. I've not heard of this bug before, but that may help.

craft, sprit, beast spells in Nethergate
FAQSELF

You have two main possibilities. One, you can grab the celt NPC for your party. She will help immensely, as she starts off with 4 points in the craft circle. Second, the hags in Hagfen can help you. If you complete their quests, you can read scrolls that give you either 4 points in craft or beast circle, depending on what you want (craft is by far superior, IMHO).

Often, when you register a game from spiderweb that is only available on CD (like Nethergate), you're given instructions on how to acquire the full version of the game before getting the CD. I imagine it'll be the same for BoA.

I've tried singletons in all of the Avernum series, but not this one. I don't think it would work quite so well- Singletons are pretty much impractical in all games other than A3, as I don't think Jeff realized people liked to play that way till then.

It may count as an "evil act" and thus hurt your chances of getting the large blessing from the stone circle near Castle Aethdoc, but I'm not certain. In any case, it probably doesn't do much of anything.

I'd agree with $30. BoE was $30, and the rest of the exile games were $25. I doubt there will be the same BoE discount, though, where if you order Boe with another game, you get BoE for $15. Maybe later.

No, sadly the game ends at that point. It's different from A1 and A2 in that respect. If you really want to continue, reload your last save game, and use the editor to return to start. This will let you finish most of your quests.

Strange. Have you used the character editor much? Skills can't be increased if they cost too many skill points or gold. If you don't have enough of either, then you can train. I haven't heard of this error before, so I don't really know what to say.
