When the light goes out next to a topic (which takes about two or three days), it's in a coma. After about a week, it's dead, and the normal guidelines apply.

This topic revival is deemed: pretty useless. Let it die.

My impression was that it's not worth getting a lot of Quick Strike, but it is worth getting maybe 5 or 8 or something, because you'll get a couple bonus action points (when hasted) regularly.

Okay, test results: with 9 Quick Strike and two +1 AP items, out of twelve turns, my non-hasted fighter got 10 AP five times, 11 AP five times, and 12 AP twice.

It's not the NT's fault! It was written in Greek. It was those darn Latin-speaking Romans who made rapture and rape both come from rapio.

Then again, it was the Greeks who decided to turn nearly every vowel sound into I, so they're linguistically culpable in other ways.

Heck, I want to gain levels more slowly. Half the enemies I killed gave me 1 or 0 XP, because I was too high a level. This might solve my problem of not getting enough XP rewards for cleaning out dungeons.

Maybe I'll just go all-slith Divinely Touched for my second run-through. :P

I just had a tactical thought: advantages in this game might be much better than they have been previously. Being lower in level than a monster gives extra XP due to the scaling system, so taking disadvantages seems almost silly; you want to gain levels slowly.

I think my second party is taking shape now.

Hey, it's Slartucker. How's it going?

Between Quick Action, Quick Strike, Fast on Feet, and a couple of Mercuric items with AP bonuses, it should be possible to hit about six or seven times per round (counting each of the Quick Action doublings as two hits). This is good, because creatures' armor is beefed up quite a bit — I found myself doing thirty or forty damage to things with a thousand AP.

In fact, on my second play-through, I might actually get Fast on Feet and try to get 20 AP consistently. I had 18 in my first play-through without it. Four attacks per turn with enough Quick Action to double each attack comes out to eight hits per turn, which sounds tempting.

Is this game nothing but combat? in Avernum 4

As much as this game is nothing but combat, I'm hoping that the reason for this is that it's a fairly new engine. I'm hoping that the capabilities of the engine expand with the next game or two, so that Jeff can say, "Okay, I've figured out good combat, so let's see if I can do some other goods things too."

Numbers at the end of variable names are fine, though, as in "day2" — I know because Jeff uses "r1" and "r2" at least a couple of times in his scenarios.

Well, A1-3 were set up such that if you actually did every quest in the game, the ending was extremely easy. I guess that's not what he wants, either, but it was kind of fun.

Argh, please never make a post like that again. If you don't have something useful to say, don't post.

MN, have you been told to kill the demon? If so, that's what you're supposed to do. Are you having trouble finding it?

I just realized I didn't finish the story. His response was this: "Meh. Some people want the perfect to be the enemy of the good. The scaling experience system has a self-balancing quality that works extremely well. If you're behind in levels, you advance quicker. If you're ahead in levels, it pushes you to tougher areas."

I wanted to reply more strongly, but held back. This is what I would've said: "Jeff, you're completely missing the point. The reason that it's cool that your games are so huge is that there are rewards for exploring everywhere. If people wanted to rush through an RPG, they would play a more linear, streamlined, and short game. They play your games because half the fun is in the exploration. People don't want to be pushed ahead to tougher areas."

I think I actually said, "Well, just take another look at it for A4, then, okay?"
