The spawners only spawn when they can see you. Stay out of the halls as much as possible and you'll be fine.

The walkthrough comes with the scenario. You really ought to read the readmes. Occasionally a designer might have something useful to say. :P

There is a walkthrough, you know.

The easiest thing to do is work your way counterclockwise through the halls, staying out of sight, finally arriving in the northwest, where you can turn off the spawners.

You could try to go to the northwest directly, but that might be a bit hard.

TM, two things:

1) STOP TELLING ME HOW TO WRITE MY SCENARIOS.

2) So you've tried this and it works on Windows, too? Interesting. I'm definitely going to look into this for future reference.

No, there really isn't another way. Bahssikava does this at one point, and the way I handled it was to end the conversation and begin the cut scene after the party takes a step, just as you describe.

We have wanted to request an END_TALK_STATE, but it hasn't happened yet.

EDIT: Same time as TM.

In theory, yes. It's not supported, and you either have to replace the default graphics or make a custom graphics file that only works for one scenario -- TM is doing something like this, I think -- and both methods have their problems.

But yes, it certainly is possible to do, and The Louvre has at least one set of graphics (the vahnatai PC) that will do it.

EDIT: The gray dervish will do it, too.

Fireblast is just a stronger spell. And if BoA is anything to go on, sliths have a resistance to cold, not to fire, weirdly enough.

I think things get messy if you try to push it beyond 99, but I'm not sure, since I haven't tried. But you'll never hit the limit unless you use the character editor.

Now, do we actually know that there's more antimatter than matter in the entire universe, or do we just know that about this surrounding area?

If the latter, then there would be a possibility of finding a large source of antimatter elsewhere -- like, galaxies away, but still in existence. So in several thousand (or million/billion) years, our energy problems would go away.

If I'm not mistaken, if you actually can emulate a Mac OS, all you need to do is download GF3 from the Spiderweb site and try to run it. It doesn't need to be converted in any way.

If you need something converted, you don't have something that can really emulate a Mac OS.

Here's where I take issue with your point of view: I don't think there are "orders" (whatever that may refer to) from "the top" (whatever that is) that go to everyone to make their emotional states tied directly to their appearances.

A number BoA scenarios are going to make reference to things that happened in the Trilogy, so in order to understand those, you might want to register at least one Trilogy game first. We have another current topic about which Trilogy game to get.

If you're playing for plot, it's not too bad, but you sort of have to know what you're doing in order not to screw up the game. I think it's much better just to play with a high-level party (70 or 80) if you just want to make the combat easier.

Depends. If the process by which that person were to come out of that state were to require the constant time and effort of at least one person and probably several people over the course of many, many months, people who weren't prepared to give that time and effort because they have other commitments (like, say, school) and not enough money to handle it, then we'd have to give serious consideration to pulling the plug.

If the person just had to sit in the hospital from start to finish (a situation rather different from pregnancy, you have to admit), then no, pulling the plug would probably be a bad idea.

You might want to consult the walkthrough in the pdf file "Blades of Avernum Manual," in Chapter 12. You also might want to consult the Player FAQ, which has a sub-section on VoDT.

In retrospect, I think A2 was the best, but I liked A3 the most at the time.

Lessee... do we have an old one of these threads lying around that I can link to?

...

No, I can't find one. Was it really so long ago that it got deleted in the last prune? Strange.

Anyway, usually the line goes, if you want to start from the beginning and enjoy the story as it develops, start with A1. If you want to play the one with the best plot and some nice added features, play A2. And if you want the one that is the largest (by far) and has the most stuff in it, at a small sacrifice to the overarching plot, play A3.
