In Glory I Am Returned in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, February 7 2006 17:04 Profile Homepage #42 Insanity has been mandated as long as I've been here... Though if insanity is mandated, then everyone becomes insane, and then insanity loses its relative properties, so everybody becomes sane by comparison to one another... so then everyone gets banned for being sane. And thus I meet my quota for today. EDIT: Kudos to you, Belisarius. I've never seen anyone post the entire Communist Manifesto before... mostly because I thought there was a maximum post length...

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, February 6 2006 12:08 Profile Homepage #39 Wow... that is truly impressive. But it's clearly a fake... I believe someone must've tampered with Aran's databases, hence the confusion between 1854 and 1814. (And generally speaking, it's a laughable quantity of spam) I believe Edward may have set the Spidweb record for the 100-meter reconciliation.

Great Art in Games in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, February 5 2006 13:06 Profile Homepage #37 quote: Originally written by Faith-Based Broadband: —Alorael, who is a big Civilization fan. HIstorical or not, there's something satisfying about having the Zulus and the Sioux use their newly discovered gunpowder to wipe poor Iron Age "European" powers off the face of the "Earth." I think by the definition you advanced earlier, then the Civilization series is pretty close to art in itself. There's definitely something poetic about seeing Rome fall to barbarians... in 1800 AD. Just like seeing the Sioux trounce the Americans, the Aztecs crush the Spanish, and the Greeks stampede the Romans. Recreating history is an art. Heck, look at most history textbooks today... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Even if he was being serious, that doesn't mean you have to take him seriously. I think you'll be back, personally.

Can't enter Grah-Hoth's place in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, February 3 2006 21:15 Profile Homepage #3 Okay, I think that you need to speak with an imp who's in the Trash Pits, in the far northwest corner of the fortress. If you've already spoken to that imp, then you should just be able to approach the weak section of wall and get a dialogue box allowing you to tear down the wall. EDIT: Of course, this assumes that you're in the right place. Is this the fortress that Grah-Hoth fled to after you freed him?

Sudden Ending in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, February 3 2006 11:36 Profile Homepage #19 Yes, the atmosphere of the final Rentar fight was appropriately creepy. It's just too bad that her "army" was just two undead vahnatai, which spoiled the effect a bit. The fight was incredibly straightforward, as I just hacked her apart with a few intense volleys of spells, only deviating to fire the occasional arrow at an energy sphere. Straightforward doesn't have to be bad, though... I personally loved the Grah-Hoth battle in A1, because he wasn't über-shielded, and he did an insane amount of damage to you. That made you strategize for what starts off looking like a simple fight (well, simple for a room full of demons). Dorikas was appropriately difficult, though the whole "forget the plot, he should be dead now" thing. Fear was never used all that well until A4, and this was a good example. If your party was terrorized right after he summoned allies, you had to do quite a bit of catching up the second you came out of it. The setting of the Dorikas fight, however, was a bit of a letdown. It probably would've been better if he'd made for the portal sooner, and not stopped to fight you quite as long. (That'd even take care of those situations where he's standing there with 0 hp and glaring at you) -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

Very annoying. I recall having that one as well... in fact, I remember trying to communicate the problem during beta-testing. Once it happened while some vahnatai allies were fighting pylons out of my sight range, and apparently Jeff thought this was the cause, as that was the save file I sent in. That area seems to be very buggy. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.
