Without emigration of some kind, I could not exist. My ancestors were mostly scattered throughout Europe, mostly in Spain, Sicily, England, Ireland, France, and so forth, but one smallish branch is Native American. Nothing really outweighs anything else, though.

E2: Test of Mind in The Exile Trilogy
Off With Their Heads
Member # 4045

Fake hints and now a resurrection. What an unfortunate topic.

MacCentris, the general rule of thumb around here — you may have been on message boards that ran differently, but this is the norm here — is that if a thread has not been posted in for a while (perhaps a week), you should not post in it unless you have something genuinely new, useful, and necessary to add. This is not part of the CoC because it's mostly for the sake of politeness.

If someone had actually asked how to complete the Test of Mind and no one had answered, then your post would probably have been useful. However, you might notice that no one actually asked that. The question for which this thread existed had been answered already. Thus this revival falls under the "useless revival" heading. No harm done, but keep the rule in mind for the future.

I won't lock this thread, because it's probably better to let it die naturally, but let's leave it be unless there's something significant and new to talk about here.

EDIT: Double-posting is in the CoC, actually.

So What Makes a Torment Capable Party? in Avernum 4
Off With Their Heads
Member # 4045
Profile Homepage #14
I had a party lacking in artifacts and not terribly well designed, but playing on Normal, I got into a rhythm with the vahnatai lord in which I was never really in danger. I think (as always) I had my one fighter up close taking damage, and everyone else out of his range, my archer shooting at him, my mage/mild archer/mild priest mostly shooting acid arrows or using Spray Acid or occasionally Bolt of Fire but sometimes healing, and my priest mostly healing but sometimes running forward for a turn to Unshackle Mind.

You know, maybe it was my third character that made that fight manageable. She was primarily a mage with some archery and some priest ability, so that she could keep him covered with acid and cast offensive spells, but whenever the priest ran forward to Unshackle Mind (which was about every two turns), I could use her for healing.

And come to think of it, it helped that my first character was designed to be incredibly fast, so that it moved before the vahnatai lord, so that the only result of the terror was that I had to cast a spell, rather than losing a turn and the vahnatai lord advancing on me. And it also helped that my first character had close to 300 hit points, so he didn't need to be healed every single turn.

Some Simple Suggestions for not Sucking at A4 in Avernum 4
Off With Their Heads
Member # 4045
Profile Homepage #51
As a short answer, no, playing A4 as a singleton is not likely to be more difficult than beating ZKR or DWtD with a level 1 party. Vlish just likes being dramatic about it. Playing a singleton does present some tricky challenges, though: there are a few fights in which it is fairly hard to hit someone and run away effectively.

You'd also need a lot of patience: there were some fights that were long enough to be tiresome even with four characters.

But I'd think it's possible for a reasonably experienced Blades player.

I have no doubt that it's possible, but it's harder in A4 than it has been in any previous non-GF Spiderweb game. You'd really have to be careful at points.

I wonder if Drakey has tried it.

Read the descriptions of Avernum 1, Avernum 2, and Avernum 3. At that point, Luz's maps and the Encyclopedia Ermariana can probably fill in the rest of the details.

Okay, this argument wasn't useful to begin with, and now I'm sick of it. Nossage, if you have any more problems along these lines, just PM Thuryl. As to you other two, Thralni made a constructive enough comment that it was not spam, and N but N, there's no need to pick a fight about it.

I think it could run on such a computer, but it might be painfully slow, because you'd be relying on virtual memory.

Apparently the technical specifications on the website are wrong: I've heard that it requires a 1024x768 monitor, with at least 128 megs of memory, and you probably want at least 500MHz. It might work on less, though. Anyone here actually have an old machine to see how it goes?

When a topic is as old as this one (several months), one should only revive it if one has something genuinely useful to add to the discussion.
